Recently, the Irish pork industry has been making news... internationally. Dioxin has been found in Irish pork products, above safe levels. All over the world, but especially in the UK, there have been sensationalist headlines such as "British shoppers 'may not be able to tell whether they have Irish poison pork in their fridge'". The UK is the biggest importer of Irish pork, so the scare that's taking off there doesn't bode well for Irish pig farmers.
After reading the news story, what do you think? Does the media sometimes make a mountain out of a molehill, or are they just doing their job of informing their audience?
