And schools are at the behest of the Obama Administration, now having Meatless Mondays for lunch!

How long til government TRIES to tell us we can’t have beef?

There is a reason the United States has INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.

Not a collective mass.

I have the right to eat beef. You have a right to refuse if you so choose. The government does not have the right, to tell us to or not to, period.

The problem isn’t with beef, it is with ground beef.

E-Coli is found in the intestinal tract (OK, let’s be blunt, it’s found in the cow’s dung.)

On whole cuts of meat, it is only found on the surface. With ground beef, the contamination that was only on the surface is mixed throughout the meat as it is ground.

Even a rare steak is cooked enough on the surface to kill and e-coli (which is the only place it is found on a whole cut of beef.) A rare hamburger is a different story. The center doesn’t get hot enough to kill the e-coli that exists in the center of hamburger meat.

Buying a whole cut of meat and having it ground into hamburger doesn’t protect you. If the whole cut of meat had e-coli on the surface, it will be ground into the hambruger meat.

As much as I like rare beef, when it comes to hamburger the only safe solution is to cook it all the way through (well done.)
