Great point. It is too bad that irrefutable logic along with a heartbreaking story don't break through our Modern-Day Conservative's mind. Nothing does, because it is a way of life, until it is them or their loved one who is poisoned. And even then I am not sure that their state of denial wouldn't kick in and protect them from the truth of the matter.

With "conservatives" having embraced ignorance and deception as their cardinal values, no one in his or her right mind expects much of anything from their policies and proposals beyond incompetence and exploitation. Most conservatives and "conservatives" have, however, retained one common trait that most liberals and "liberals" lost years ago: backbones. Nonetheless, despite possessing vertebrae, many of the conservative sub-species most audible lately ("birthers" etc.) also share traits with e.coli, especially in terms of IQ.

I read this e.coli story somewhat uncomfortably yesterday having just enjoyed a large hamburger, but grasping its basic lessons depends more on common sense and elemental fairness than political affiliation:

1. People should be allowed to eat meat, provided (a) that those not wanting to do so are not unreasonably encumbered from following a different diet, and (b) that carnivores pay the full social and environmental cost of meat consumption (including rigorous full health inspections and forty future generations of higher greenhouse gas levels). This part 1b is a proper reason for governmental regulation in response to market failure (externalities), though how exactly such regulation should be applied is debatable in theory and often difficult to efficiently implement in practice.

2. Absent part 1b above, hamburger eaters can get obtain considerable protection against experiencing a tragedy of the sort that befell Ms Smith in Minnesota by paying a somewhat higher price per pound, going to a reputable butcher, and having him grind the meat.

I don't know what kind of health insurance this poor woman had, but how much did treating her infections cost the rest of us? How much will it cost us for her dialysis and transplantation when her kidneys finally fail?

oops posted wrong place

It's worthwhile remembering, by the way, what a serious newspaper can do.

It certainly is. The Times' work on this very pertinent, very revealing story deserves praise. It harkons back to the days of gritty muckraking a century ago, to the kind of journalism that changed the way we approached government, even changed the way we thought about ourselves. That's why the Times utter failures - Iraq, domestic surveillance - over the past decade are so devastating in retrospect. At this point, given the state of its degraded reputation, I wondered while reading the story if the Times' impetus to cover it could be the chance to damage company reputations and pick up some meat packing stock - cheap.

1. Provided the average temperature is getting higher, accordingly all forms of germs, viruses, and influenza etc are more likely to multiply.

Some skeptics say the warning against hazards of climate change is overstated, but judging from more frequent and widespread outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and bird, swine flu cases endangering human lives and economic recovery seriously, some prompt measures need to be taken, I guess.

2. I personally recognize that wheat is a far better diet than meat on the ground it normally exits body with ease and rapidity, and we are well aware that our heath depends upon smooth metabolism and blood stream associated with the immune system and how important our daily workout is, as well.

I still think the critical conditions mostly come from breach of our immune system, and the food that stays long in the body is more likely to become a source where germs, bacterias and the like multiply.
Sounds outlandish, but wheat might be a principal "clean and healthy" food that has led western society to the most decent culture of all.

The Jungle lives on. This was an incredibly chilling piece of journalism. It was picked up today on NPR as well. Who knows, maybe it will make one of the evening newscasts before too long. While waiting for effective regulation to occur, I'm taking Julia Child's advice and going to start grinding my own.

There are only three people conservatives care about: Me, Myself and I.
