Report: Half our meat may not be fit to eat

A report out of Atlanta says much of the meat sold in supermarkets may contain Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteria, which can make people sick, has been found to be resistant to some antibiotics.

Before you sit down, tonight, to eat,
Here’s a word about your meat.
As you prepare to use your fork,
Take a closer look at your fowl and pork.
That also goes for all your beef,
Just so you do not come to grief.
A new report says pig and calf
Could threaten you with deadly staph.
So rather than be led to slaughter,
You might consider bread and water.
