Did anyone else see?

The articles BTO mentions show there are a lot of questions about this whole ecoli mess in Germany? How do organically grown bean sprouts get infected...although I think they now realize the evidence is showing the bean sprouts were probably not the cause?
Where are these "superbugs" coming from? How can one strain of ecoli suddenly appear that is immune to just about every antibiotic known to man....with a few extra killer ensymes thrown in for good measure? Something isn't right here?
Clearly vaccinating cattle won't solve a problem like what is happening in Germany?
Killer strains of ecoli in cattle are associated with feedlot rations that promote those deadly strains and dirty processing plants.....will vaccinating solve that problem...or merely help even tougher strains to evolve?

Maybe if they slowed the line down at the packing plant it would prevent the carcass from getting contaminated by a dirty hide. But no, it's all about "economies of scale" and speed & efficiency and dumping the responsibility somewhere else.
I heard on the tv news that the pharmaceutical companies are advising the government to mandate e-coli vaccinations.

The solution to dirty hide contamination of meat in the UK was belly clipping of live animals. Packing plant health inspectors wouldn't allow them in unless they were clean. Not a big problem with sheep but belly clipping limo bull beef animals made for some exciting days on our place. More than one farmer has lost their life or been maimed following this practice.

I think, in general, people are extremely naive. What ASRG stated is correct, "Where are these "superbugs" coming from? How can one strain of ecoli suddenly appear that is immune to just about every antibiotic known to man....with a few extra killer ensymes thrown in for good measure? Something isn't right here?"

The technology for splicing and dicing genetic material is not found on the farm. When a problem of this nature shows up, it is imperative that we follow the money trail. Not just the ones who MAKE money on this disaster (or gain more power over the people), we also need to note who are the ones being hurt by it.

In the German ecoli case... first cucumbers, then other vegetables, and finally blamed on organic sprouts.

Now really folks, how would a bacteria naturally adapt to be so deadly on an organic farm?

Are we so naive that we will never suspect sabotage by corporations ready to move in with "their solution" to the "problem of the day"?

It doesn't matter in the end which farm or garden it comes from, because the whole industry is affected. Those accused but found innocent have already had their livelihoods decimated, their reputations smeared and their futures probably destroyed.

Modern health care has some good trauma solutions, but as for man's attempts to cure-all visa vaccines, I believe we have created an autoimmune nightmare of degenerative diseases that cost us more in health care dollars and lives - than the diseases they are said to spare us from.

An article on ecoli problem (lengthy)FYI: (haven't read it all myself yet, either)....
