Simply innoculate the livestock.

If we are what we eat, then it is probably better, if eating animals, to eat
ones with a naturally healthy immune system.

I've had shark steak before, it's pretty good.

I think a purely or almost purely vegetarian diet is an easy diet to maintain,
in some respects. I like dairy and meat products sometimes, for example,
fried cheese and BLT's.

Where are all the webpages with the farmers' opinions? I haven't yet looked.

I thought that disease wasn't communicable to humans.

On what grounds does suspicion exist?

I read some of the books, for having seen the movies, it was maybe you only

James Bond is a great fictional character.

I want to watch the Brit meat inspectors. Also, I want to see real analytical
information about the situation. Maybe I'll look for it or produce some.

I think the USDA, here in the United States of America, or as the French and
some French-Canadians say "Les Etats Unis", where the USDA is the United
States Department of Agriculture, they help to maintain relatively good food
standards. I went to Mexico one time, and the water was very good, we ate
local seafood.
