Beef: The Stinky Truth

Avatar of Sunny-S

Posted August 11, 2010 by Sunny Subramanian

On Friday, Valley Meat, a beef processor with an awful name, recalled approximately 1 million pounds of ground beef (that’s about 2,200 dead cows worth of beef) because of possible E. coli contamination. And guess where E. coli is most commonly found? In POOP.

Are we surprised there’s some poop in meat? These 2,200 dead cows produced about 65,000 tons of feces before they were knocked off! Well, it’s no wonder these recalls are so common!

Factory farming and all the dookie germs that it breeds are deadly to humans and animals. Be a part of the solution and go vegan!

Just keepin’ it real,
Sunny

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
