The Cost of War

A 22 year-old dance teacher is paralyzed after eating E. coli infected meat. E. coli comes from cow feces. I prefer to eat beef from cows that don't stand in their own diarrhea all day. "American megacorp Cargill , which brought in $116.6 billion in revenue last year, is in the spotlight this week around the story of Stephanie Smith" source Just another casualty of the industrial food system.
