10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)


The dioxin comes from microscopic particles of ash from incinerators that have settled on grass and crops eaten by the beef cattle, pigs, and chickens. All farm animals are affected - even herds grown on "all-natural" feed. See dioxin.


Dioxin is the contaminating factor..not the meat.

this can thus be found also in any greens harvested then..so even the vegetarian is contaminated trying to avoid meat.

Beef can harbor a deadly new germ, called e. coli O157:H7

So can vegetables..
just recently the out breaks of e. coli O157:H7 in Southern California have been said to be from some form or another of vegetable.
