Stephanie Smith's reaction to a strain of E. coli was extreme, but neither the system meant to make meat safe, nor the meat itself, is what consumers have been led to believe.

humans are worse than cokroaches

Wow, a conservatard troll being insensitive, that's so unexpected. if you held a cook-out tomorrow, and offered burgers, how many members of your family would say, "make mine rare!"?

No, this is not her mother's fault and it is ignorant or evil to suggest that. The answer OF COURSE is to appropriate the proper resources and vote enforcement powers to the FDA and USDA to stop corporations from killing us and paralyzing girls.

It is amazing to me to see corporations refuse responsibility for their products or the pain/illness their products create. In this case its Cargill or it could be IBP, Tyson or insert large corp. name here, they need to step-up since they can afford to and because its a consumer food product, the HACCP of receiving supplies that go into making their eidable products

I work at a Cargill plant in Nebraska City, Nebraska, and I can tell you that I will not eat anything that comes out of my plant. I have witnessed old meat arrive and be accepted when it should have been rejected. I've also witnessed very old meat beginning to turn color and smell rotten before they finally process it. Also seen people drop bare pieces of meat on the filthy floor and then box them back up without washing them or throwing them away! ...lots more examples

Good luck Stephanie, I hope you get better soon. I think she should go to China and have stem cells implanted in her spine to get her walking again. It helped a guy in S. Florida. Stephanie google, David Aldrich, 45, of Delray Beach as reported in the Sun Sentinel. He had a tragic accident from diving in shallow water and ended up blind and a quadriplegic and now is walking again.

Do you have any idea how many people eat rare beef? Hundreds of millions of beef dishes are eaten everyday and the number of people who get very sick from it is relatively small. The meat industry needs to do everything it can to ensure the meat itself is safe. Their product needs to be safe. It's possible to eat raw beef and not get sick, when the animal's butchered "cleanly". We've heard of tens of millions of pounds of beef getting recalled for safety screw-ups. Cooking well helps, yes.

They want to run small farmers out off their land Clean water Act, clean food Act & Animal ID Monsanto is buying up all farms in Obama Administration Ag Dept

Nobody can say it was the food industry. What if her mother didn't cook the burgers good enough and now is trying to get paid by suing. Now if she would of ate at a burger joint she would probably have a case.
