COOK YOUR MEAT

[Happytrails]

This e-coli scare just seems to keep going from bad to worse. The farm news at noon had a clip from a food safety guy asking consumers to check the recall and return or throw out any meat they have that is included in it. What is wrong with cooking it properly and eating it?
It should be a crime to throw food out when all it needs to be safe is to be COOKED!! We have boil water orders, how about a cook you meat order?
I am afraid that if all food has to be germ free to the consumer they might end up hungry more than not. HT

I heard the recall at one point was 600 tonnes of
beef. They should cook it dehydrate it and send it
to a poor country. Turn the pr bus around.

2 super b loads of food left the north peace
potatoes, carrots and such destined for the
okanagan. They make cut it and dehydrate it and
make soup packages then put them in barrels
then seacans. Destination being Haiti and similar
countries.

Right on AF. Wasting food is irresponsible.

You guys should apply for the public relations job at
Lakeside -you'd fit right in.
"Come and get it....don't worry about our
contaminated products that might result in your
child's kidneys shutting down and potentially dying -
we think it should be OK if you cook it well enough."

"Here Brian I have a great idea - Lets export it to
some poor hungry people in the 3rd world - it'll be
good enough for them. Lets send it to sub-saharan
Africa maybe some poor people will see the XL sign
and want to come and be our slaves."

Looking up at the clouds....high as a kite.

Common sense is not a common as it used to be.

News for the stupid people

- beef .... Ya it actually needs to be cooked before
you eat it.

I wonder: If you cook manure enough is it safe to eat?
Maybe we could just by pass the meat and send them cooked manure?
If it isn't good enough for the Canadian consumer...is it okay for those third world little brown people?

[Happytrails]

ASRG. It isn't manure, its been contaminated with manure. All animals are full of e-coli including us. There is an accepted level of e-coli contamination. All we have here are unacceptable levels according to some arbitrary standard. There still is no danger if the meat is cooked properly. I can't believe that you think an empty stomach is better than eating food that is good if prepared properly. HT

Ya know what, serve all yer meat from
now on, boiled, broiled, roasted,
toasted, microwaved, dried, salted,
irradiated, chipped, chopped, minced,
ground, then enjoy the manure covered
creation you've created. Actually, no
don't do it, don't buy use or consume XL
Food, or products. Lets make and
example of these clowns and put them
outta business. We buy from our local
butcher, never from the store meat
counters.

Educate yourself Happytrails ecoli 0157:H7 is not
something that all animals including humans are full
of. It's an uncommon strain that is very dangerous to
humans.

No doubt about it GF. Hence the subject of this thread. All beef has some ecoli even yours. It is not a problem if it is COOKED!
