Do you have any idea how many bacteria exist in the human body? That are
passed from person to person on a daily basis?

Bacteria is no reason to avoid a food....simply take precautions and use
common sense. If you choose not to eat meat, that is your choice...but it is
no better or worse than anyone else's choice.

As to steroids and such, careful choosing of suppliers can avoid that.
