Another reason to go vegetarian, although their math isn't right. Forty-seven percent is much worse than "1 in 4." Maybe we should actually read the article? :)
Read, listen or watch the rest here: 1 In 4 Supermarket Meat Samples Tainted With Drug-Resistant Bacteria
"Consumers may be weary of hearing about what's wrong with their meat — from the calories to the E. coli to its heart unfriendliness. Unfortunately, there's another bit of bad news: Nearly a quarter of the meat and poultry sold in U.S. supermarkets is infected with nasty drug-resistant bacteria, too.
That's according to researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute. They took samples of meat and poultry around the country and found that 47 percent had evidence of Staphylococcus aureus contamination. More than half of the bacteria they found were resistant to at least three classes of antibiotics, according to the study, published online today in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases."
