Eating Beef is a Gamble
Stephanie Smith, a children’s dance instructor, ended up paralyzed after a sever infection due to E. Coli in a hamburger she'd eaten.

Factory farmed animals live in such confinement and filth that it's inevitable that they carry many diseases, sometimes even fatal to humans. Meat processing is largely uninspected and unsanitary. The most effective way to avoid food-related diseases is to transition to a plant-based diet, honoring to God and to all of Creation.
