I am not. I was just saying that the recent victims of E. Coli were from
Hudson's gound meat. Of course, the bacteria live also in other kinds of meat. I
even heard on TV the case of someone who got contaminated by drinking some
unpasteurized fruit juice (if my memory serves me well).

And I also agree with you that the public should be informed about the way
animals are fed and raised. This would put more pressure on using organic meat
and/or improving the conditions in which the animals live.
