so they won't be irradated if they could be eaten raw?

[Guest guest]

I would like to eat a rare hamburger once or twice a month!

 

I would prefer to buy irradiated pepper, and irradiated hamburger. (I

would rather not explain about the pepper, it may upset some.) Now if

irritation makes the fat rancid why do they irritate hamburger.

 

I have tried many sources and the only irradiated Hamburger available in

my area costs THREE times normal., and that is irradiated with light

beams --NOT radio active material. So I eat steak instead, as I can sear

the outside and leave the inside rare.

 

(Now I am older and tougher and healthier than most of you; So do not warn

me about rare Beef.)

 

As the article stated it COULD be made available for those who may benefit

from it at a small increase in cost rather than at a horrible price due to

rabid opposition by people who don't care if they hurt a few while

forbidding the many to make their own judgment choices.

 

The only reason to irridate the Hamburger is BECAUSE: Some lazy dope

addicted employees of some few meat packing factories do not do their job

correctly!

 

In Europe similar factories do not have that problem as the workers take

pride in their work and don't let the meat get contaminated.

 

As a result: In Europe, RAW Hamburger is very seldom contaminated.

--- Lorenzo,

Laura's Lean Beef might be an option.

Contamination of meat (muscle tissue) can occur during evisceration where

gastrointestinal contents can cross-contaminate meat. The animal must be

infected by a pathogenic microorganism such as e.coli 0157:H7 for this to

occur. Factory farms and inappropriate farm feed (high in grains) make

susceptibility to infections more common.

 

High speed assembly-line meat packing operations restrict employees ability

to perform careful butchering and handling. Meat packing operations have

been concentrated into a relatively few, massive operations in the U.S.

 

In the U.S., meat processors are required to test for e.coli in the meat

(this is not a requirement in Canada). Thus, U.S. inspection standards may

be better than Canada.

 

If meat is contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms from the

gastrointestinal contents, it is only contaminated on the outside. Thus,

searing a steak should kill virtually all the surface pathogenic bacteria.

Inside the meat should remain virtually sterile.

 

Grinding the meat to produce hamburger distributes surface pathogens

throughout the product. Thus, one must thoroughly cook hamburger meat to be

assured that e.coli 0157:H7 bacteria have been killed. The verotoxin this

bacteria produces is especially virulent, causing a number of cases of

kidney failure and death every year (especially amongst those with

underdeveloped or compromised immune systems).
