E. Coli: Do you want to eat your meat now?
E. Coli:
a virus that is responsible for thousands of deaths annually. The virus is
unknown; that is until you are lying in a hospital, fighting for your life, and
wishing that you would’ve protected yourself from this unpleasant incident prior.
Factory
farms are a very huge source for E. Coli. Manure, rotting scraps of meat,
puddles of blood, dirty knives and unsanitary conditions are all things that
attract E. Coli. When you eat meat that was produced in a factory farm, you are
already exposed to E. Coli, regardless of whether or not the meat you are
eating contains E. Coli or not. Meat in factory farms is exposed to this deadly
virus every day, as there is always E. Coli in any factory farm. If we change
the way we look after our factory farms, the conditions will be cleaner;
therefore, the likelihood of E. Coli will be much smaller. When factory farmers
work, they cannot meet the satisfactions of the boss, and complete their load
of work, as well as keep their working space sanitary. This is a huge problem;
we are paying the price for careless work! Workers are put under a lot of
stress to complete work, and if less meat was produced, and more care was put
into the procedure, the people who eat this meat would be much safer.
Symptoms
of E. Coli poisoning include: Mild or severe fevers, frequent abdominal pains,
watery diarrhea, and sometimes even Anemia. If any of these are present to you,
I recommend you see your doctor as soon as possible, as the earlier you get
cured, the better chance of fighting the disease.
