We all wish it was only ground meat that had stuff like this going on. It's chickens pumped with antibotics, hormones to grow bigger, faster. It's cattle pumped with antibotics and hormones so they can survive long enough cramped in close quarters to be fattened and slaughtered.
E-Coli should never exist but because we are raising cattle in close quarters, feeding them corn instead of grass, our kids run the risk of dying from eating a freaking Happy Meal.....not worth it to me.
Like I said, we are damned near vegetarians now.....it's been a gradual process over the last 4 years or so. But feeding my kids this crap is not an option.
Nevermind the studies that have proven without a doubt that a diet high in meat protein causes cancer.
I'm not a liberal hippie either.....I'm a hard core conservative. 4 years ago I was overweight, ate wayyyyy too much junk, hamburgers, Taco Bell.

This might be the most ludicrous and absurd thing I've heard in a long, long time.
I guess all of our ancestors that couldn't make carbohydrate foods were dying of cancer this whole time!!!

Correlation =/= causation
None of our patient H&P's, or epidemiological studies, ask about your lifetime ingestion or exposure to high protein meats.
It's not, by any means, an accepted conclusion.
Not saying it's impossible, just that it hasn't been proven enough to consider it when evaluating a patients cancer.

Mother fricking frick
this concept is entirely FALSE.
I cannot speak for other livestock, but the "pumping of hormones" into poultry is prohibited. When you see poultry products labeled as "hormone-free," it is nothing more than marketing and must also be accompanied by fine print stating that use of hormones is entirely prohibited by federal law.
Whether or not it makes you feel any better, the ability of today's chickens to grow bigger, faster is due to decades of intense selective breeding and biological engineering, not some mega chicken-steroid.
Most of today's population, people who are many generations removed from the farm and thus know little to nothing about agricultural practices, simply parrot everything they hear about livestock being "pumped" with hormones and antibiotics. Always the exact same verbage too, "PUMPED."
I'm not meaning this blowup to be directed towards you in particular, it's just something that an inordinate amount of people are incredibly misinformed about
