What’s really in that burger? E.coli and chicken feces both allowed by USDA

There are 14 billion hamburgers consumed each year in the United States alone. The people who eat those burgers, though, have little knowledge of what’s actually in them. Current USDA regulations, for example, openly allow beef contaminated with E. coli to be repackaged, cooked and sold as ready-to-eat hamburgers.
This simple fact would shock most consumers if they knew about it. People assume that beef found to be contaminated with E. coli must be thrown out or destroyed (or even recalled), but in reality, it’s often just pressed into hamburger patties, cooked, and sold to consumers. This practice is openly endorsed by the USDA.
But E. coli may not be the worst thing in your burger: USDA regulations also allow chicken feces to be used as feed for cows, meaning your hamburger beef may be made of second-hand chicken poop, recycled through the stomachs of cows.
Chicken poop in your burgers?
I remember writing about this two years ago. People sent accusatory hate mails to NaturalNews, saying things like, “Stop making things up and scaring people!” Few people believed that chicken feces was being widely used as cattle feed.
According to the FDA, farmers feed their cattle anywhere from 1 million to 2 million tons of chicken feces each year. This cross-species crap-as-food practice worries critics who are concerned it may lead to increased risk of mad cow disease contaminating beef products. So they want to ban the practice and disallow the feeding of chicken litter to cows.
Believe it or not, McDonald’s has joined the fight seeking to ban the practice, saying “We do not condone the feeding of poultry litter to cattle.” Apparently, even they don’t want their customers looking at a Big Mac and thinking, “Wow, this is made out of second-hand chicken crap.”
CSPI and the Consumers Union have also joined the fight, petitioning the FDA to ban the practice.
Now, you might wonder how chicken feces could pose a mad cow infection risk to cows. And if you’re not already grossed out by what you’ve read so far, you will be when you read the answer to this question: It’s because chickens are fed ground up parts of other animals such as cows, sheep and other animals. Some of that chicken feed spills out and gets swept up as chicken litter, then fed to cows.
So now we have a bizarre experiment in animal feed where dead cows, sheep and other animals are fed to chickens, and then chicken feed spills onto the floor where, combined with chicken poop, it gets swept up and fed to cows. Some of those cows, in turn, may eventually be ground up and fed back to the chickens.
Do you see how this might be a problem?
Do not feed animals to each other
First off, in the real world cows are vegetarians. They don’t eat other cows, or chickens, or poop from any creature. Chickens don’t eat cows in the real world, either. If given free range, they live primarily on a diet of bugs and weeds.
But through the magic of horrific factory food production practices in the USA, dead cows are fed to chickens, and chicken poop is fed to cows. This is precisely how mad cow disease could contaminate this unnatural food cycle and end up contaminating U.S. cattle with mad cow prions.
Some say this has already happened, and it’s only a matter of time before mad cow disease starts appearing in the U.S. population. It takes approximately 5 – 7 years after eating an infected burger for mad cow disease to destroy the brain of a consumer, and cooking a burger does not destroy the mad cow disease prions. That means even burgers that are fully cooked and handled according to federal safety standards can infect consumers with mad cow disease, causing their brains to turn to mush within 7 years.
The beef industry doesn’t see a problem with any of this. And that’s why this industry deserves what’s coming: A massive culling of cattle and a complete economic wipeout of cattle ranchers one day after mad cow disease is revealed in U.S. cattle herds. Rather than trying to protect the integrity of their cows, the U.S. beef industry chooses to pretend that there’s nothing wrong with practice of feeding corpses to chickens, and feces to cows. Is there anything too gross, inhumane or horrific for the beef industry to stomach? Seems not.
Remember, too, that the USDA has banned farmers from testing their own cattle for mad cow disease. So instead of allowing cattle ranchers to protect the safety of their herds, the USDA has a policy of covering their eyes and pretending not to see the very real risks that exist. When it comes to infectious disease, this is a sure recipe for disaster.
The perfect storm for mass infections
It all adds up to a “perfect storm” for the mass infection of the beef-eating population with mad cow disease. And remember: Cooking meat does not destroy prions, so if the beef supply becomes contaminated with mad cow disease, it’s only a matter of time before humans start to be stricken with the disease.
That takes 5-7 years, as I mentioned previously. It’s important to note because it means there could be a five-year gap between the time mad cow disease is present in the beef supply and the time health authorities start to notice a problem. But by that time, most of the population will have already eaten infected beef, and it will be too late to stop the mass human deaths sure to follow.
Dying from mad cow disease isn’t pretty, painless or quick. It’s ugly. Your brain cells start to turn to mush, slowly shutting down cognitive function little by little like some strange, aggressive form of Alzheimer’s disease. First you lose concentration ability, then your speech goes, and eventually all brain function stops altogether. It’s a horrifying way to waste away.
Is the risk of that really worth eating burgers?
Remember: Right now, the practice of feeding chicken feces to cow herds continues. So there is a risk of mad cow disease infection in U.S. beef right now. Very little testing is currently being conducted for mad cow disease, meaning an infection could very easily go undetected for years. Meanwhile, the average hamburger contains beef parts from as many as 1,000 different cows.
Do the math. Unless cattle feeding practices are significantly reformed, eating beef products of any kind — hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks — is like playing Russian Roulette with your brain cells.

Sone of the many reasons why I haven’t eaten a fast food thing in 15 years!! Plus, the weight lost was a very nice side effect. Eating mostly Organic , whole, raw foods, I have had only ONE cold, and no flu in that time. Also, I get sunshine for my Vit. D, and take 3gms. Vit. C every day. Organic beef, eaten (almost) raw. Yumm.
E. Coli burger?? No Thanks!! Sorry, MickyD’s!!!

If you want to take it to the next level and never get sick ever. . .try swimming in ice cold water every single day. Just plunge in and then get out real quick. That’s all it takes. If you live near a lake or ocean in a cold climate than you’re all set. Not only will you not ever get sick but you will always feel warm even in a cold house with the heat off.

“E.coli and chicken feces”
Hey it’s really not cool publishing the ingredients of McDonald’s special sauce.

The amount of horrible things that are either being ingested or injected into our bodies today through food stuff and vaccines is utterly astounding. Is it possible that the governments push for Swine Flu vaccinations has whole lot more to do with getting people to accept nanotechnology adjuvants which are secretly being injected along with the vaccines? Experts in the field of nanotechnology contend that these smart particles have the ability to effect heart rhythm and muscle contractions and we all know how this technology is used to track weather via doppler radar. Read the following articles. Will you connect the dots?

I don’t really know all of the details about nano shit, but for me, I have slept my whole life with powerful magnets on each temporal lobe. I even did this while attneding a major allopathic medical school. I perform very delicate surgical procedures while fully magnatized and I can just tell that everything is fine. It seems that the more ionization that my body haz the mo’ I be fealin’ bettah. I belleze dat all dems magnaficashuns be puttun me backs to my ruts.

I always wash the shit off of my eggs, then quickly dip them in a clorox solution and rinse, before putting them in the fridge. Chicken shit is good fertilizer, but I would prefer NOT to eat it.

All my life, people called me names and picked on me. I was called terrible names that left lastin psychologicl scars on me. As a result I take lots of head medicine and eat fast food. This is no fault of my own, as an allopathic psychiatrist told me so. Since I was always called chickenshit, I began to consume it regularly. In fact, I went to local farms and bought eggs that were covered with it. I would crack the egg, throw the innards away, and eat the poo covered shells. Thank god for modern medicine because I am now normal, thanks to lots of mind altering drugs, a high processed food diet, and psychology and psychiatry. If only everyone could experience what I have. “And I say to myself, what a wonderful world”.

Oh yummy! You could not make this up! And how about Monsanto trying to grow sugar beets in Roundup?

“Roughly half of all processed foods contain sugar from sugar beets.” And we all know that they will not be able to refine all of that herbicide out of the sugar.
