    What's next? Well, likely the surprise will be that we'll get meat that actually contains what it says on the label.

    It's highly possible that you are carrying MRSA in your nose or groin right now OP!

    You're much more likely to be affected by this bacteria if you have poor hand hygiene, than if you eat a sausage for brekkie.

    What's next? Somebody'll be murdered! And then where are we? Drive-by shootings in the night... it'll be like 'Boys 'n' the Hood'... and we'll have whores selling their wares on the street and the pimps will be using crack to keep the whores under control.

    Never!
    I'd rather sell the lawnmower and keep a few beasts myself in the back garden.

    Mainstream food industry is becoming a joke alright. Sadly, organic is very pricey.

    You have read the Icelandic review I take it? The frozen meat pie with at least 21% meat contained 0% meat of any kind :P

    Not usually no, suppose it depends where you stick your finger after picking your nose though.

    Sure even going vegetarian won't help, you get all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff sprayed on the veggies too.

    No. Factory workers in pork processing plants have been having huge issues with antibiotic resistance for years, and the resulting infections. If you handle a product doused in antibiotics day in and day out, after a bit they don't work for you anymore. Same as for mrsa, ie antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. Pig have been stuffed with antibiotics for years, now they don't work anymore. MRSA is just a generic name for an antibiotic resistant infection. Should be lots of fun in years to come. Eat up.:)

    What's the problem? Isn't the point of cooking to kill bacteria?

    You know it's getting really bad when you order some chicken and the thing just walks off your plate.

    Do you cook people you meet? The issue is transfer of MRSA from animals to humans

    this clip is from the documentary Food Inc.

    It explains how cattle are fed corn to make the grow faster, this leads to the development of e-coli in some cattle. Then it spreads to other cattle, and it can also spread in the slaughter house when manure gets into the beef.

    So they have developed a system where they wash the beef with ammonia before being sold on to burger factories etc. Wonder is the same system being used in Europe?
