100 % of all Beef sold contains fecal matter!?! Is this Vegan propaganda?


Vegan News claims that a
ll 458 pounds of ground beef bought for research contained fecal contamination, which can cause ailments such as blood or urinary tract infections.

In the past year, Americans bought 4.6 billion pounds of beef, with an estimated 50 percent of it in the ground form.

    America only has four major slaughter houses now where you use to have thousands....You no longer mince up one cow for your burgers ,you mince up one hundred at a time in a batch.......One infected cow can contaminate  Hundreds of tons of meat ......There have been many young children dying from viruses from eating under cooked meat in the States and nothing's ever done to stop this problem.......Money and profits must always come first I'm affraid it seems...:( This post was edited by Nice Jugs at October 29, 2018 9:35 PM MDT

    I would ask the Vegan News where they sourced their information. Then I'd go to that source to double check it.
    Some things claimed by vegans are correct, while others are exaggerated or false.

    I'd also double check the health effects of fecal contaminants because I would have expected to hear reports of vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.
    The idea that UTI's are caused by what one eats makes no sense. They are caused by exterior cross-contamination from the anus - i.e. lack of sufficient care in personal hygiene.

    I'd look at how the contamination occurred, where the affected meats were sold,
    and I'd look for clusters of health effects in those areas compared to the health records in areas where clean meats were sold.
    I'd look at what the vendors did with the affected meats, and at the outcome of the prosecution case.

    Then I would compare the reports with the norm for the beef and other meat industries.
    Finally, I'd go and examine abattoirs to find out exactly what their butchering procedures are.
    This is a job for an investigative journalist.

    Why would the vegans give a crap? (Pun intended.)  They don't eat cows. Maybe they eat manure.

    Why do people care about what is microscopic?

    WHO CARES.   That which does not kill you, makes your immune system stronger.

    Oh yeah, and then there is the idea of what beef is composed of.  I mean poo poo is so much ickier than blood and guts and all that animal fat that is so healthy.   

    I don't get what some people think is icky.  I don't ever want to eat poop, but if I ate a sandwich that was perfectly delicious and someone tried to get me to vomit because I learn there was a bug turd in there, WHO CARES.  GET OVER IT PEOPLE.

    No one gets healthy because they eat sterile food.
