For the record, the Centers for Disease Control assures you that:
"Swine influenza viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe."
I want to further assure you that despite my affinity for all things pork (ribs, chops, tenderloins, shoulder), you can not contract swine influenza A (H1N1) from reading this blog.
That is unless you happen to be using a computer that was previously used by an infected hog that sneezed on his/her pig feet without washing or pickling them before using the computer. If that's the case, you're on your own.
