…by stating that it’s entirely safe to eat raw ground beef. Some posters have stated that they may even start giving it to their children. I suggest that they read the story of 10 year old Damion Heersink (http://legacy.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/061218/illness.shtml) who nearly died after becoming infected with E. coli 0157:H7. Damion contracted this deadly strain of E. coli by eating one small bite of raw hamburger.

I would have posted this very important information at zerocarbage.com, but it probably would have been deleted by the owner of the board since he thinks he knows everything. I sincerely hope that no one is hurt by his lack of knowledge, especially children.
