Be Careful If You Eat Meat
This is really unbelievable. I can't believe some of the stuff going on in the meat industry. Some of these companies don't care if people get really sick. They just want to make as much money as they can.

Be careful if you don't eat meat.
Remember this scare? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12536902/
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....

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.

Sissies.

Ground beef is ok if it is ground at your grocer's or nearby. Preformed patties and, obviously, tube meat, should be avoided at all costs.

Instead of buying commercially raised meat, I choose to buy meat from my local farms, where I can see how they are raised, what they are fed, living conditions, etc.
I get my pork from my local dairy, who gives his excess milk to his pigs. Best pork evah, believe me. I buy the whole animal, he takes it to the butcher, and I get back about 100 or so pounds of all the cuts, including the smoked portions like bacon, ham and so on. All for between $3-$4 a pound! For beef, I buy very local pasture raised animals and arrange little buying groups of my local friends. We buy the whole animal, or half and go in according to our freezer capacities. When all is said and done, I end up paying about $3.20 a pound, across the board. That's $3.20 a pound for ground beef, Porterhouse, T-bone, ribeye, you name it! I also get the soup and marrow bones, with which you can make a lovely beef stock which you can use in all sorts of things. It's so much better tasting than anything you can get commercially raised, it's far healthier, more humane for the animal and to top it all off, it's less expensive! My butcher also raises elk, deer and bison.

Tasting? Certainly, though if you have never tried this sort of beef, you are missing out! Those other meats are pretty expensive. I've taken up bow hunting so I can get venison and wild turkey.
