[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 230675, member: 2705"] WOW what an article. I have never read such a leftwing spin on beef before. It really torques me to read articles written by journalists who literally know nothing about what they are writing. Send some liberal out to texas to find out that ecoli lives in cow crap. How many different strains of ecoli are there? funny thing they forgot to mention the one they connected to the '93 Jack in the Box outbreak. Is likely not the same strain. Ecoli mastitis? in milk everyday (even organic) nobody dies? "that's unpossible" (ralph wiggum quote). Why the sudden move to organic foods? I would suggest it has something to do with society leaving the farm. Pre Industrial revolution most people farmed. Pre depression 1 in 4 farmed and most grew gardens and had a couple animals or their grandparents did. Anyways people knew where food came from. Now in this ever changing and pesimistic society they have turned up their noses at the sources of their food, The farmers and ranchers.
