There is Shit in the Meat

  1. Though we can recall dangerous toys or cars, the USDA cannot recall meat filled with deadly contaminates.
  2. Among the top 25 House representatives who receive restaurant industry funds, only four were Democrats between 1987 and 1996.
  3. The Reagan and Bush adminstrations staffed the U.S. Department of Agriculture with officials far more interested in government deregulation than in food safety.
  4. In a USDA study in 1996, 78.6 percent of the ground beef contained microbes that are spread primarily by fecal material.
