Gosh, I didn't have the courage to do more than skimming through your lengthy
article loaded with emotions and with a low concentration of information.

OK, there is the story of E. Coli, but it concerns only GROUND steaks.

OK, animals are fed with what humans would consider as garbage. But how many
percents of their diet does it constitute?

And what about saying that humans eat that in turn? Plants also get nutrients
from (transformed forms of) dead animals, no?

I had that info about organic meats in France, but it would be difficult for me
to translate. For those who can read french, see

http://sesame.mathp6.jussieu.fr/~tu/elevage.html

In short: mostly grass (for cows). In addition, various concentrated foods based
on different grains/seeds, minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur),
oligo-elements (iron, iodine, cobalt, copper...), and some supplements (seaweed,
plant extracts, extracts of fish, cod liver oil, coal powder...).
Water has the same standards than those for human consumption.

When/if I find a time and a dictionary, I will try to translate the information
I have.

Best,
