I have no idea how bacteria gets into meat. I just know it's there, because that's all I need to know to handle it properly. It's not something I care about beyond the practicality of how to cook without making people sick.

Overcrowded pens leads to animals standing in their own crap, then that crap gets in the raw meat after they're slaughtered. I wish I could be a vegetarian but meat is too tasty.

I know what you're saying, but I couldn't help thinking - when you see cows bunched together on a hillside, you really think they go off to a corner when they have to poop? If you've watched them come in at the end of the day, you know the answer...

Farm animals are not clean. Well, except cats. Most times...
