Random Quote: The Untold Story of Milk


Long 'make you feel good' quote of the day:

"It's not just Salmonella and Listeria that taint American meat and processed food. Thirty percent of ground beef samples taken at processing plants were contaminated with the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and over half with Clostridium perfringens. 'All of these pathogens can make people sick,' wrote Eric Schlosser in Fast Food Nation. 'Food poisoning caused by Listeria generally requires hospitalization and proves fatal in about one out of every five cases. In the USDA study, 78.6 percent of the ground beef contained microbes that are spread primarily by fecal material. The medical literature on the causes of food poisoning is full of euphemisms and dry scientific terms: coliform levels aerobic plate counts, sorbitol, MacConkey agar and so on. Behind them lies a simple explanation for why eating a hamburger can now make you seriously ill: There is shit in the meat.'"
