| subject: | Before You Eat That Next Hamburger |
Before you eat that next hamburger, you might want to read a six-part series that appeared in today's online edition of the New York Times called "Trail of E. Coli Shows Flaws in Inspection of Ground Beef". It's quite an eye-opener. It deals with a twenty-two year old woman named Stephanie Smith -- a children's dance instructor -- who became paralyzed in 2007 after eating a home-grilled hamburger that was contaminated with a virulent strain of E. coli bacteria. According to the article, the bottom line -- as if we should really be surprised -- is plain old corporate GREED! One paragraph in part one of the article states: ----- Begin Quote ----- Using a combination of sources -- a practice followed by most large producers of fresh and packaged hamburger -- allowed Cargill to spend about 25 percent less than it would have for cuts of whole meat. Those low-grade ingredients are cut from areas of the cow that are more likely to have had contact with feces, which carries E. coli, industry research shows. ----- End Quote ----- To read the entire article, please go here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html?th&emc=th Jeff Snyder, SysOp - Armageddon BBS Visit us at endtimeprophecy.org port 23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Download Center 4 Mac BBS Software & Christian Files.
