another reason to stop raising cattle... unhealthy and a waste of farmland and food.... reduce heart attacks, strokes and obesity by stop eating beef and drinking milk.... no need and the resources could be better used.

Wonder how a person would survive E. coli and salmonella at the same time? Guess that means no hamburgers with a slice of tomato.

This is what the U. S. food market place gets for having its food harvested, butchered, and processed mainly by illegal alien "pee-ons." They illegals don't know any better, and the employers aren't going to spend a dime more than the employees illegally low wages to training them.

I just wrote my state assemblyman, and asked him to sponsor a bill requiring that all raw ground meat be ground on premise.

They have managed to suppress discussion of Mad Cow Disease.The health and environmental hazards of beef are immense.

God did indeed intend for us to be vegetarians- Genesis 1:29 "And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.(food)
Is it worth it to consume meat that may or may not be contaminated? We gamble with our lives everytime we eat a hamburger, especially if topped with tomato, lettuce and onions that come from who knows where and handled by who knows who.It seems like the FDA can't offer any protection and the way the tainted meat is usually discovered is when several people get sick. The animals that are slaughtered and sold to the public are pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones. No wonder antibiotics aren't working anymore,people are consuming them regularly when they eat meat, building up an immunity to them. Could the growth hormones in the meat have anything to do with the obesity epidemic in this country? Just something to think about.
There are many reasons to avoid meat, but if you must eat it you should buy free range, grain fed meat that has no hormones or antibiotics.
God also gave us instruction on which animals we can eat and which ones to not eat. This is found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. These are the health laws put in place for us by a loving God who wants to protect us from anything harmful for us.

You contradict yourself, and you put words in the mouth of God.

If God didn't want us to eat meat, He would never have created WHITE CASTLE.

But, you are in luck. There is one right up the road, in Owensboro.http://www.whitecast le.com/FindCastle/locator.aspx ?ZipCode=42374&Radius=50

You are right about the gamble that eating food has become under this incompetant administration.
We once took it for granted that our food was safe, because ever since Teddy Roosevelt read "THE JUNGLE" it has been. Until GW Bush and the 'lying neo-conservatives', and the 'religious right'.
