Think twice about eating chicken, turkey and beef

Listeria, Campylobacter, Clostridium,Salmonella and E. coli have all been found in a large percentage of USDA testing in ground beef,ground turkey and chicken. If you are going to eat chicken or turkey make sure it is free range, grass or grain fed hormone and antibiotic free . If you are going to eat beef ,make sure it is grass fed. Stay away from chicken that is not free range - these chickens are raised in extremely close quarters, giving them a higher chance to spread disease.. not to mention the cleanliness of those henhouses. Also , think about the cleanliness of these processing plants? Did you ever notice some of the chicken breasts out there? they are like chickens on steroids. This is because the chickens are pumped with fluids and hormones.When preparing turkey, chicken or beef make sure to put the chicken ,turkey or meat directley in the pan,grill or tin foil - this will avoid the meets contaminating counters, sinks etc. Also when making burgers or meatloaf- mix in some oregano-this has shown to kill the e.coli .
