They have several stomachs that are designed to digest grass. They are only fed corn on feedlots to fatten them for slaughter. On the feedlots they are stuffed in and are standing in their own feces. They eat, stand and live in their feces then when they are slaughtered, care is not taken when removing the stomach and bowels and the meat becomes contaminated by the feces that are inside of them.... <br /><br />Unknown - you are welcome<br /><br />Sara - it's not just beef - our vegetable supply has been contaminated with feces also. <br /><br />Confused - yes, the recalls can expand quickly.The Good Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249986191289837440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-81870133139719643602009-11-05T08:05:54.408-05:002009-11-05T08:05:54.408-05:00Thanks for the heads up.

It's completely against their nature to eat primarily corn so e coli develops in their first stomach. Just a theory! Something about something missing in their digestive tracts to break down something like bad bacteria.<br /><br />It's a good day to be a vegetarian!<br />Oh, I think buying from farmer's markets is awesome!

BEST practice is to buy direct from the farm OR buy from a local butcher and have them grind fresh or grind your own. <br /><br />Kathy - it is getting more prevalent as the meat packaging plants up their line speed and hire poorly trained slaughterhouse personnel. The onus is on profit - not adhering to FDA standards and they (the management) will take any shortcuts they can to increase profitability.<br /><br />CK: it is a national problem and a national disgrace that our food supply is poisoned... oh boy... do I feel a ranting post coming on....The Good Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249986191289837440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-43015484645648212752009-11-04T09:59:29.072-05:002009-11-04T09:59:29.072-05:00Sheesh!
