Complete title: US meat supply is riddled with feces, doctors claim in a lawsuit against the government in a bid to wipe fecal matter from our food
The government maintains a 'zero tolerance' policy on feces in food
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that only applies to 'visible' fecal matter
They filed a lawsuit against the USDA on Tuesday calling for tighter regulations
The US meat supply is riddled with fecal matter, a new lawsuit against the government claims.
While the government maintains a 'zero tolerance' policy on feces in food, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that only applies to 'visible' fecal matter.
They say the rise in E. coli outbreaks linked to meat is evidence that invisible traces of fecal matter are slipping through the net and into Americans' kitchens and stomachs.
The North American Meat Institute, which represents meat packers and processors, insists E. coli is not exclusively linked to feces. ('A swab of phones and keyboards would likely find E. coli, but that doesn't mean there is 'poop' on your phone,' they wrote).
But the Physicians Committee does not agree, filing a lawsuit last Tuesday -- the latest in its eight-year battle to wipe feces from the meat supply.
While the government maintains a 'zero tolerance' policy on feces in food, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that only applies to 'visible' fecal matter
The Committee's vendetta began in 2011, when they conducted a study on 120 chicken products sold at 15 chains in 10 US cities. They found 48 percent of chicken had fecal matter that hadn't been weeded out.
In last week's lawsuit, they say that proportion has risen.
They do not provide new study data to back it up, but they say a change in how chicken is processed...

“I’ve been in the meat business since graduating from college, 40+ years.
And let me be the first to declare that this article is unmitigated BULLSH!T!”
Well, my wife is a Veterinarian of 32 years and when she started her practice she needed money so she moonlighted working as a inspector for our state inspecting meat packing plants and she told me all the horror stories.
Outright filth in plenty of places she had shut down or wrote up.
P.S. She is not a vegan, animal rights wackjob or liberal.
‘Cleveland Steamer’
I did not know what that was until I watched “Hitler takes too much Viagra”

NSFW!
Exactly. That is what the USDA is for. Idiots.
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Good one!
Yup, think of it as a vaccine.
Ever seen a Bell curve?
Ever known what assignments are given to “newbies”?
Yeah, there are some sleazy operators in every business.
The weirdest non-political thing I’ve seen in the media is reports of benefits from taking feces to help one’s intestinal flora... just bizarre.
e coli tends to come from food handlers rather than the processing processes.
farm produce pickers. restaurant employees hands.
not from the food itself.
Comment of the day!
This is what happens when machines take over the butchering process. A sacred rule in hand butchering is never allow fecal matter to come in contact with the meat. Today with machines doing the eviscerating the innards get torn apart and fecal matter flies everywhere.
They have a cow over a minute trace of poo in meat but turn their noses over the scat on our cities’ sidewalks.
“Ever seen a Bell curve?”
One of my clients has a business making salads for several major fast food chains.
He hires people from a temp agency. These people are the bottom of the barrel. NO HS degree and he has an old “short bus” his employee drives to the temp agency to pick up the people because they have no license.
He showed me the operation one day. I never eat salads from 2 FF places anymore.
Gross people. Dirty, look like drug addicts
Stand still, laddy!
Every surface of your bathroom and probably your house would test positive for feces. Unless you clean every surface every day and no one has flushed the toilet in the past 24 hours.
I’m with you. Stay away from prepared food.
Seen the same general thing in hi-tech manufacture: a multimillion dollar machine handled by low paid temps.
It’s crazy!
The obvious solution is to make meat so expensive no one can afford it say the quacks.
One of the most iconic lines ever!
