I tend to agree with you on feed additives as I do on most things, wish I got along with my wife as well. At time of slaughter, most additives are gone. Then most cook the meat changing what is left. I would rather eat meat from a killed beef than one that died from disease. I have seen films from India of people eating a cow that died from sickness, guts and all. YUCK. One thing that should happen is that beeves sold for slaughter should be held 5 days and fed hay. 5 days on hay instead of grain reduces E.coli about 99%. Like the old days. I used to eat a lot of raw hamburger. And it gives the beeves 5 more days to make peace with there maker.

Alex, With reference to antibiotics, I wonder how much of the drug remains in the meat and poultry we eat. If there are even trace antibiotics in the food we eat, could this contribute to the continuously evolving resistance of organisms to antibiotics. Also, what about allergic reactions in people who are allergic to some antibiotics? Just food for thought. I don't really know anything for sure about this. Really, I don't. But I'd sure like to. Yup, I am a vegetarian, but not for health reasons, and I'm not evangelical about vegetarianism (oops, not another ism!). Thanks for your thoughtful post, BTW. Holly
