Stop eating meat

It's not wise to eat any meat that isn't cooked thoroughly. Eggs, too- prepare with no runny yokes or runny egg whites. Common sense should kick in. Raw meat isn't safe to eat.

Should always cook stuff as if you are going to kill anything that may be living in it.

Cows revenge. Good on them.

LOL. And now companies can 'grade' their own bacon... quality goes down and risk goes up.

Cook it well folks.

CDC suspects ground beef is the source of recent E. coli outbreakThe agency is looking at the grocery stores and restaurants where people said they ate beef just before they fell ill, it said. It hasn't narrowed in on a specific supplier, distributor or brand of ground beef yet. when meat packing plants are over filled with both legal AND illegal mexicans and others who would have a reason to be angry with Americans for cracking down on the immigration status of their own, its not a far conclusion that they shit in the meat now and then.... People still eat ground beef..horrible for your health

Ground beef is cause of mystery E. coli outbreak, CDC saysGround beef is the food responsible for a mystery E. coli outbreak involving 109 cases of illness in six states, according to preliminary evidence, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. How did the E. coli get from the lettuce to the beef? And this is why I try not to buy pre-ground meat. You don't know where it came from, how many animals are mixed in, what fell into the grinder, how clean the meat was before being ground, how clean the machinery was, etc. Even in a large chain store - get your meat fresh ground This picture makes me want to be a vegetarian

More deaths have been associated with kratom than previously known, CDC study findsA new CDC report finds that more deaths have been linked to kratom than previously reported. Can CNN Take these Pills? MarkDice Zzzz - read the article. Misleading headline. Surely it was the Kratom and not the fentanyl, heroin, benzodiazepines (also known as tranquilizers), prescription opioids and cocaine. I mean I'm all for a deeper look into the substance's impact on the human body, but let's be realistic on the journalism behind the numbers.

Salmonella outbreak across 9 states is linked to pre-cut melons, CDC says; 93 people infectedThe pre-cut melon products have been recalled from Whole Foods, Kroger and other retailers across nine states reporting infections. Don't panic, the CDC will come up with a new vaccine to save you from getting this in the future. LOL The possible cause is employees who cut this fruit are not washing the outside of the melon prior to cutting. As a result, whatever bacteria is contained on the outside contaminates the flesh of the melon as the knife cuts through it.
