Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Alright. That's it.
First we hear that the USDA has recalled 143 million pounds of beef, then that the recall extends as far back as two years. Now this news: a fourth herd of cattle in Minnesota has tested positive for bovine tuberculosis. Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to bad beef now. Though it is unlikely that humans can contract tuberculosis from beef because "any animal showing these signs is withheld from the food supply. In addition, adequate cooking destroys the bacteria. Further, the milk pasteurization process at processing plants destroys any potential bacteria," still, it makes me wonder if I should just swear off red meat for a while.
I'm just going to think about that while I finish the last few bites of my steak.

For the most part I'm read meat free but occasionally I'll have a small hamburger if friends are cooking out. I'm just waiting for the bird flu or something that's going to make chicken bad for me before I become a full on vegaterian.

I think if I could be assured that my meat came from a place that was organic, grass-fed and humanely-treated animals, I might make an exception, but it would need good documentation. As for ordering beef in a restaurant... forget it. I'm done.
