“Today’s confined cattle live in their own excrement, which is the
carrier of the deadly E. coli strain 0157:H7. Caked-on manure will
migrate to edible portions during dehiding, thanks to line speeds of
390 animals per hour and laborers who are not always properly skilled.
Ground beef today is made up of mixtures of hundreds or even thousands
of animals. The grinding process brings surface pathogens to patty
interiors that may, down the road, not be cooked adequately. A
university study found that 0157:H7 may also be harbored in the
interior of a solid piece of meat.”

Customers entering an area supermarket can take paper towels dampened
with an anti-bacterial for use in wiping the handles of their shopping
carts. When you stop to think about all the bacteria in the
animal-derived products sold in these stores, this is an almost
laughable “band aid” gesture. How much better off we would all be –
humans and other animals – if this were a vegan world!
