    Re: New E. Coli Strains Found In Beef

    Did you ever notice....the e-coli outbreaks are rarely found in meat or poultry that is butchered for Halal or Kosher beliefs? These bacteria multiply rapidly when the blood is allowed to congeal and is still in the tissue of the meat. During a proper slaughter for religious purposes the blood is all drained out so we are rarely bothered by ecoli and other nasty little bugs in our food. So I'm suggesting that you try to find a Kosher or Halal meat market and just give the meat a try. The taste is very different. It is a fresh, flavorful taste. You may be surprised......

      Re: New E. Coli Strains Found In Beef

      Thanks for the info.. I'd like to add that for meat to be slaughtered in a halal way there are other requirements also like the knife has to be sharp so one fast cut to the neck is all and the blood is drained fast. The part I like is that the animals to be slaughtered are not to be gathered together and witness the slaughter of the animals before them. This as we know causes a internal response releasing chemicals that are not good for us. If we are going to eat meat then we should make it as humane as possible.
