E. Coli is not your friend.

Here's the breakdown. While cow's stomachs and our bodies were once able to conquer E. Coli, we are no longer able to. This is because the strands have mutated. Mainly because feeding cows corn, rather than grass, has changed the acidity and composition of their stomachs. (We do this because of massive corn subsidies in the U.S.) While selling E. Coli contaminated meet is forbidden, producers are urged to check for it, rather than mandated. Because of feed lot conditions, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no infected product, or that every animal can be properly checked. Despite laws against selling contaminated meat, there are outbreaks and recalls every year. These companies lose money when they recall products and would rather chance it. That isn't okay.

Link to an article and video from the NY Times which will surely horrify you.

Supposedly, Costco is one of the best at checking their meat, so if you are an avid meat eater, I say shop there. Or if you are a veg lover, share this video/article with your friends. This isn't some hoopla agenda pushing vegan source, it is they NY Times. We should be concerned.
