Almost Half the Meat at the Supermarket is Contaminated!

I hated to see this, especially since I am a meat eater. I'm not surprised at this at all. The meat industry basically has the regulators in their 'back pocket'. That's why they get to add so many of the antibiotics to the animals. The overuse of the antibiotics is what leads to the bacteria being able to develop resistance to them. The meat producers love to use antibiotics because they can continue to use their filthy practices, as well as increase the growth rate of the animals.




Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacteria. It is scary to think that these bacteria in the meats we are consuming is drug-resistant! But that's a direct result of corporations choosing the most profitable practices over the most safe practices. It's not surprising if you truly understand what a corporation is.

A corporation is an artificial person. It's only reason for existence is to make money for owners (shareholders), and everything else is of relatively minor importance. They don't care about the effect of their foods on our long-term health. They don't care whether or not the food they feed us is healthy. They only care about whether or not we'll continue to buy it, and whether or not they'll make profits. That's why they never want to admit to anything that they think will make us less likely to buy their products, or to make us uncomfortable with their industry.

I'm not sure what we should do though, because beef, poultry and pork are all having this problem. Most people don't want to give up meat, but we're going to have to do something to protect ourselves, since we know that the big corporations will not protect us. It might be a good idea to get meats from small, local farmers instead of from the big supermarket chains. It may also be good to wash our meats with food grade hydrogen peroxide (diluted to 3%). We're going to have to be resourceful and intelligent.
