Meat Contamination Meat Contamination Meat is one of the most dangerous foods that a consumer can eat. Meat has thousands of microorganisms on it, and while most of them are harmless, it only takes one dangerous microorganism to kill a person. Bacteria can infect unprotected meat, once again leading to the illness or death of the consumer. Viruses can run rampant through meat, completely undetected until the meat is digested. (poisons in our food. pg. 255) Some animal carcasses are even dropped on the floor and shipped regardless; and of course the always present issue of the slaughter of diseased animals! Where does all this pestilence spring from and how can it be stopped' This report hopes to investigate all these legitimate concerns and dispel some myths about the meat industry; Also an important aspect is the true danger Vs the social impact caused by misinformation. The best starting point for such a broad topic is to begin at the birth of the animals. Farms and ranches raise mainly cows and pigs for the slaughter. The animals are fed hormones to bulk them up. While the safety of even this is doubtful, there are many hormones and drugs that have been outlawed by the FDA that are smuggled into the country and used by ranchers.
