Are you eating tainted meat?

She was a 22-year- old children's dance instructor. Until she ate an industrial feedlot hamburger, just like the ones many of us eat. (She's pictured in a coma to the left. When she awoke 9 weeks later, she was paralyzed.)

Children are growing up not knowing where food comes from. They think it comes from the stores, from a box or package. Until we get away from the processed foods and get back to real whole foods - there will be a continual spike in meats poisoned with E-coli and other food borne contaminates.

And there's Dr. Mercola's article:

When Hamburgers Cause Sickness, Paralysis, and Death

An investigative piece in the New York Times, written by Michael Moss, looked at the plight of Stephanie Smith, a young dance instructor left comatose, near death and now paralyzed from eating a single Cargill hamburger contaminated with E. coli.

Of course, a “single hamburger” can include meat from hundreds of animals. Hamburger meat is often composed of various grades of meat from different parts of cows and even from different slaughterhouses. These cuts of meat are particularly vulnerable to E. coli contamination, but there is no federal requirement for grinders to test their ingredients for the pathogen.

The particular strain of E. coli that infected Smith, known as E. coli O157:H7, is virulent, deadly, persistent and endemic in industrial beef. This year alone almost half a million pounds of E. coli infected ground beef have been recalled nationwide -- and that doesn’t include 800,000 pounds of Cargill beef recalled for contamination with antibiotic-resistant salmonella.

I'm not a big eat lover but when I do eat meat it has to be American 100% grass fed. It's safer, healthier and tastes better to name a few reasons!
