Infected Meat – 17 October 2008
“The meat industry doesn’t treat the causes of its problems, only
the symptoms. When it imprisons massive numbers of animals in cramped
stress-inducing cages, it provides the perfect breeding ground for
deadly bacteria, which later infect the meat. Technologies to kill
meat pathogens are now very big business. We have acidic-solution
sprays, steam/vacuum technology, high-temperature carcass washes,
steam pasteurization, and chlorine applications, etc., ad nauseam.
Some bug-fighting methods, such as food irradiation and sprays of
antidotal viruses and probiotic bacteria, pose risks in themselves.
And in the end, the meat still isn’t safe.”

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
