Be Careful If You Eat Meat

There are a lot of things in life that your better off not knowing. Where hot dogs and ground beef come from is one of them.

In my teen years, I used to work for a large bakery. It ruined me from eating croutons for a long time....

What is really disturbing is that some of these meat companies don't want the meat to be tested. The article said that when Costco realized that people were getting sick and dying, they started testing the meat. Yet their supplier (Tyson) did not want Costco to test the meat and they no longer supply Costco because of this.

The good news is that it sounds like if people are really careful where they buy their meat, they are probably fairly safe. I certainly wouldn't buy anything from Tyson Foods after reading that article.

That's it. No more eating for me.

Hostess should run commercials suggesting one enjoy a box of Ho-Hos or Twinkies for a 'safe, e-coli free' lunch.

A steak is still relatively safe. At least it's coming from just one cow, unlike these burgers. Before I read this article, I had no idea that a single burger may have meat in it from 5 different cows in 5 different states and even different countries. It's like you're eating 5 separate burgers in one.
