All Hamburger Meat Has Poop in It
Hmmmm, does that hamburger look good to you? Does poop look good to you? Yes, it looks as if every sample of hamburger meat tested last year had some poop in it (poop is otherwise known as 'crap' or 'shit' in America - it is waste material...the stuff that drops out of your butt and into your toilet bowl).
How did poop get into all hamburger meat? I don't know, nobody is saying. But since I read this article back in April of 2015, I have not had one hamburger. Cows love me now. And I probably won't get cancer as quickly either.
Yes, I would advise you to please stop eating poop...I mean hamburgers.
The article:

Vocabulary from the article:
to be contaminated by - this means that something you think is pure really has something else in it that you don't want to have in it
Labor Day barbecues - Labor Day is in May - it is a holiday celebrating work. Many people barbecue in their backyards on a grill on this day.
fecal - poop-like
urinary tract - the little biological tube that allows the pee to leave your system and go into the toilet
antibiotics - medicine to kill germs
a sustainable environment - an environment which is not being destroyed, an environment which can survive on its own
to confine animals - to keep them in small areas
to slaughter - to kill animals for food
to crank out - to produce quickly with little regulation or monitoring
superbugs - germs that can't be killed (bacteria or viruses)
160 degrees F = 71.1 C
to be on guard - to be super careful, to watch something or some situation closely
