You can substitute peanut butter.
Peanut butter is awesome. Is there anything peanut butter can't do?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The 1918 flu pandemic which killed more people worldwide than WWI also originated in pigs. I don't think panic is a useful response to any situation, but I can understand why people are afraid.
I don't know if this is any comfort, but the 1918 flu may have had nothing to do with swine:
One theory is that the virus strain originated at Fort Riley, Kansas, by two genetic mechanisms – genetic drift and antigenic shift – in viruses in poultry and swine which the fort bred for food; the soldiers were then sent from Fort Riley to different places around the world, where they spread the disease. However, evidence from a recent reconstruction of the virus suggests that it jumped directly from birds to humans, without traveling through swine.[37]
The thing that amazes me about that flu is how careful they have to be when they exhume bodies to study it. It's just waiting in the permafrost to KICK OUR ASSES.

A pandemic is more widespread, usually involving multiple countries and/or continents.

I think a pandemic is bigger. Or maybe multi-national?

I still think the safest course of action is for everybody to eat as much bacon as possible. Get those pigs before they get us!

Thank you. My mom asked me last night and I realized that I didn't know. I feel like I didn't hear the term "pandemic" until ten or fifteen years ago, but I also feel like that about the terms "hoodie" and "wifebeater"
