A new study in Clinical Infectious Diseases cultured meats from grocery stores in 5 US cities. Much of it was found to contaminated with Staph. aureus (77% of turkey samples, 42% of pork, 41% of chicken, and 37% of ground beef samples). Moreover, 52% of the isolates were multidrug resistant.

I am now beginning a campaign to have laws passed in all 50 states which will mandate that all human carnivores be immediately placed in contact precautions.
