My reponse:
Here is a link from the archives of <www.eatwild.com> which shows that the
e-coli content of grass fed meats dropped to almost undetectable levels.
They may have other related information on this site, in the archives, but
this chart and other material from this site were referenced for the
material I posted on the digest that was from an article my husband wrote on
the benefits of grass fed animal products.

For further information with regard to my posting and the information below,
I suggest that you contact Jo Robinson, author of Why Grassfed is Best and
the person who created the www.eatwild.com site.  I apologize that I do not
have the time to scour the site right now, but I can assure you that the
information I posted was based on material from Jo's site.

Hope that helps,
Rachel
