In my opinion the reasons the general public is experiencing these kinds or outbreaks is because we are overusing antibiotics and medication. Don't get me wrong, I've had bacterial pneumonia and a strong antibiotic was the magic in getting rid of it. It's important that we manage our immune systems. Afterall, it has had millions of years to adapt.

The free range, grass fed, antibiotic free cows have good immune systems and that is passed along in their milk. I would suggest you use the internet to read both sides of the debate. I can only say that going raw is a personal choice (it is important that we have choices available) and it is VERY important that you engage in your food source if you consider going raw. Here are some articles from both sides that make great points:

BTW, did you know most "fine" restaurants serve Steak Tartar: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=ie7&q=steadk+tartar&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7ACGW_en

Ever wonder why the rich are allowed to eat it and the CDC and FDA does not ban it?
