Every Mother's Nightmare: Bacteria in Recalled Ground Turkey Is Resistent to Antibiotics

Dear Ms. David,

Great article although (unfortuna­tely) I'm not certain more government funding will stop contaminat­ed food from entering our food supply.

I wager that many more thousands of children and adults were sickened by the ground turkey "meat" since March than reported and those individual­s were sent home from hospitals with "the flu or a 24 hour bug."

Until Americans stop buying highly processed, factory-farmed, franken-fo­od from these so called "farms" and food processors they will continue to manufactur­e and serve us contaminat­ed antibiotic resistant products. The USDA already tells us it's our fault because we under cooked the meat.

We need to feed our families "real" food and focus on the quality not the quantity. Heck, maybe we might even shed a few pounds.

Here's an idea that might solve the problem: What are they going to do with 35 million pounds of recalled ground turkey meat? How about Thursdays are Turkey Taco Day at the USDA and Congressional Cafeterias. Wonder if they'd have a problem eating the ground turkey meat even if we assure them that's it cooked to their standards.

Best health always.
