    Please feel free to post any ask-the-doctor type questions here in the comments section and I’d be happy to try to answer them! Be sure to check out all the videos on pork and foodborne illness as well as yesterday’s corresponding blog post Talking Turkey: 9 out of 10 retail turkey samples contaminated with fecal bacteria.

    In the past I never heard of MRSA. Now, in just this past year there have been two incidences at a local high school. Both incidents were months apart, but both with members of the wrestling team. One of the kids came very close to succumbing.

    Thank you Dr. Greger for telling the real truth about meat. Hopefully, the people who need to see this, will. I am grateful to be animal free since the very early 90′s. It is soooo great to see a pro-active Doctor who really cares and hasn’t been sold out by the media or, Big Pharmaceutical companies. Again, thank you<3

      Hello Janet, how fantastic that you’ve been animal free for so long, good for you…and all the animals you’ve saved! Like you, I hope the people who need to see this video (and all the others!) will. One way to help get the word out is to share the videos with your friends and family in the hopes that they will be positively influenced by the information they contain. If you’re on Facebook, you can share the videos quite easily and ask your friends to do the same, as well as follow on Twitter. If you’re not on a social network, you can view the videos on YouTube and then send them via email. A couple of other videos you may want to share are: http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/u-s-meat-supply-flying-half-staph/ and: http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/mad-fish-disease/ Happy holidays!
