Believe it or not - the actual headline of the article is "How worried should we be about Disease X? : Goats and Soda : NPR". I snipped out "Goats and Soda" from my headline because I didn't want you to think I had lost my shit and I was just spouting random nonense.

Anders Kelto, a radio reporter on our team who's been based in South Africa for the past four years, proposed: "Goats and Soda." Traveling about in Africa, he saw a lot of goats. And a lot of soda.
