On an unrelated note:

  "Cuy" is the term in Ecuador for a Guinea Pig.  While not eaten in cities, in the more mountainous regions Cuy are considered delicacies.  While a 3 course meal can cost you as little as $3 American, a single Cuy will run you $16 and come served to you as a hairless, fried rat.

  The reason I bring this up is because we learned about the "Cuy" from my best friend who, while living in Ecuador for 3 months, heard on the radio that a lava flow had buried a Cuy Farm near where he lived and had killed 250,000 Cuy.

  Tragedy and no mistake, but how funny would it be to see herds of Guinea Pigs fleeing from a wall of liquid-hot MAGma ....?

Just stick to raw amino acids, then you don't have to worry too much about diseases ;)

Cows? Mad Cow Disease ring a bell?

Shrimp? Red Tide ring a bell?

Lobster? Oooh... a bottom dwelling organism. Can't be harmed by arsenic, lead, and paint thinner now can we :D

Nutritional Suppliments! Seven's answer to bird flu.

Quite honestly though, I think this hoohaa about the latest fad in meaty diseases a pile of poop to be honest. If people stopped taking medicine and cleaning so vigorously, there would be less disease in this world! Make those white blood cells work for their right to reside in your body! Most people seem to have immune systems which fall all too easily against the likes of a humble cold! No resistances.

Mind you, having said that, it does really depend on a lot of factors outside of our control. 64m3r may be onto something. A few year back (in the UK) a man was arrested and his company shut down, for selling thousands of tons of gangrenous chicken, dressed up in breadcrumb nougats, to schools across the whole nation. Said chicken was filmed, while being stored in open air, unrefrigerated, in piles of festering goo and then broadcast on national in the form of a documentary. There was so much crap with the heaps that they were actually generating their own sources of heat! .... then sold to children. Either way, gangrene aside, bacteria can be eliminated by thorough cooking! (bad meat cannot be repaired but it's easy to identify as long as it's not covered in breadcrumbs!)

Happy eating folks! I vote; keep the meat! (Poop, this isn't even a poll about meat)

moral of the story is this; Cook your food to industrial standard. Heat probe it if you really need to and do not eat reformed chicken nougats!

That's a ... well, no polite words there :D . Many disorders are very profitable to pharmaceutical companies (like ADD meds, Anti-Depressants etc) and are suspect, but many of the current disease epidemics and virulent diseases in general are created by how, where, and with what we grow our food. Chickens on top of big on top of fish means that you have TONS of pathogens being exchanged - and then you get SARS and Avain Flu etc - breeding grounds for very nasty diseases. What is created by overmedicating are super diseases - like the current polio epidemics in Africa, MDR TB, MDR HIV, etc. Really bad combination. Weee penicillin!

Of course, you cannot remember probably when people died in droves from Mumps, Measles, Smallpox, Polio, TB, Syphilis, etc etc etc in Europe and NA can you? Yeah, that was little over 50 years ago - you can thank the drugs for knocking those viruses and bacteria to a relatively non-important state here.

BTW, don't forget about cysts, prions, and viruses when saying cook the meat - many of those can't be killed by normal oven temperatures :(
