If You Eat Meat You’re Eating Feces!

feces in meat

I don’t know about the rest of you out there, but I don’t like to eat fecal matter. If you’re eating meat, you are undoubtedly eating feces. Feces belongs in the toilet or used for fertilizer, not human consumption.


Wondering why you get sick so often?
Why you have about 20 nasty colds per year? Why get get those stomach viruses? Why you get sore / strep throat? Why you have no energy? Why you are tired all day long after 8 hours of sleep?

Well, I’m sure it has a lot to do with meat consumption. It’s bad enough that you cells are being invaded with toxin-riddled flesh, now your body has to deal with animal waste on top of that! Phew….

Would you sprinkle dried pellets of human feces on your salad? No, I don’t think you would. But you may as well, since you’re already enjoying plenty of feces every time you bite into a juicy hamburger or rip a part some “mouth watering” steak. Think about that the next time you consume some animal flesh.

Washington, D.C.-A new study shows that 84 percent of adults have no idea that the primary source of salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and other foodborne pathogens on poultry and meat is animal feces.

The survey of 1,000 men and women was completed during the period of July 26-29, 2001, by Opinion Research Corporation International on behalf of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). Foodborne illnesses are at epidemic levels in the United States; the Centers for Disease Control estimate there are at least 76 million cases each year, usually from consumption of animal products.

“Our findings show the vast majority of Americans do not understand there are feces on meat and poultry,” says PCRM staff attorney Mindy Kursban. “In fact, there’s a major disconnect in the public consciousness between the foodborne illnesses that sicken so many of us and their originating cause: animal excrement.”

Survey respondents answered the following question: “When salmonella and other disease-causing bacteria are found on meat and poultry, which of the following do you think BEST describes where these bacteria originally came from?”

The answers were as follows:

  • “They [foodborne pathogens] came from animal blood.” [10 percent]
  • “They came from dirty hands.” [19 percent]
  • “They are naturally present in the meat.” [17 percent]
  • “They are naturally present in the animal’s skin.” [9 percent]
  • “They came from animal feces.” [16 percent]
  • “They came from dirty air in a slaughter house.” [15 percent]
  • Didn’t think any of these were the right answer or didn’t know. [13 percent]
  • Doctors Petition USDA to Ensure “Feces-Free” Meat or Issue Biohazard Labels

      Humans who eat animals are not cruel. Don’t be ridiculous, people. Animals kill and eat each other. Some species of animals even kill one another for dominance or status. Watch the animal channel.
      It’s been stated here before, but I will say it again because it seems like A LOT of people are stuck in their own mind set and just don’t listen. Humans are supposed to eat animals. Yes, we are. Sure, we can chose not to, but we are natural born meat eaters. Certain essential proteins that our body needs can only be found in meat. I am aware that beans offer a lot of protein, etc, but not the same found in meat. I think the key is to eat meat in moderation. I think the best diet is a small amount of meat and a lot of fruit and vegetables. But to rule out meat completely is your own decision. It doesn’t mean it’s the right decision for your body, though. Agree or disagree. We need meat AND fruits and vegetables.
      Also, I feel I should remind the vegans and vegetarians that fruits and vegetables can also make people sick, not just meat. I know this was mentioned before, but like I said earlier..some people are just ignoring the facts and preaching nonsense which I personally find annoying. Someone mentioned tomatoes and spinach before. Some people ate those contaminated vegetables and died. It’s not just meat, it’s all of the food we consume. It doesn’t mean one thing is better than the other, or ones way of life is better than the other. It means we have to be more careful and cook things completely and wash them.

        ha ha ha, i accidently stumbeled onto this site whilst trying to find out why our dog had eat my shit whilst camping. whilst the immoral treatment of animails for profit in the food industry and subsequent chemical “enhancements” are fundemently wrong, remember what has been pointed out on this site about vegetables, they grow in shit. And just because you made a CHOICE to not eat meat doesnt mean you can feed our ears shit just coz you really, really want a burger. Also the amount of hypocritical vegans who wear leather is hilarious. Please consider that to erradicate animals from human use (exept as pets) would lead ultimatley them becuming redundant as the fields the graze in would be used for shit ridden crops. honestly ive never herd so much shit in my life ha ha ha

      I wrote something here earlier, but for reason I do not understand, it was deleted.
      I mentioned how animals kill each other for food and even for dominance. I compared the behavior of animals to humans and stated that we are not cruel for eating animals; it’s in our nature. I also wanted to show how silly it is to rant and rave about how bad meat eaters are for killing animals when animals do the same to one another. It’s the circle of life. Complaining about people who eat meat and saying they are cruel is almost as ridiculous as going to the jungle and yelling at a lion for wanting to eat a zebra.
      I also mentioned how we as humans are designed to eat meat, and if you chose not to eat meat than that is your right and your choice, but it isn’t necessarily the right choice for your body. I mentioned how beans are a good source of protein, but they are not the best protein for our bodies; meat is, because it contains a certain type of protein, essential acids, iron and b12 that you just cannot get from beans alone.
      I mentioned how the healthiest thing one can do is eat meat in moderation. We need it, along with lots of fruits and vegetables.
      I mentioned how meat can be dangerous if it is consumed uncooked or undercooked, and I also mentioned how vegetables can also harm us if they are contaminated and not washed properly. I said that the best thing we can do to avoid getting sick is just to cook and clean our food, and that there really is no argument. One way of life is not better than the other, or the right way.

      I will continue to repost my opinion on here if what I have to say keeps getting deleted.

      Also, show us the scientific link that proves that animal meat contains feces. You were asked to provide it before yet you never did. Interesting..

      Why don’t animals fight for the rights of other animals? I mean, animals kill one another, don’t they?
      There should be a trial. Animals who kill other animals for food should go to jail. They should get life in prison.
      When is the last time you saw an animal of prey convert to eating tofu, by the way?

      If animals are not willing to stop eating one another, than why should humans stop eating animals too?

      Do any of your vegetarians or vegans own pets? Do any of you have a cat, perhaps one named Mittens? Well, Mittens would love a nice juicy chicken dinner right now.In fact, Mittens would most certainly kill a mouse for fun if one ran past him. Are you going to punish Mittens?
      What kind of food do you feed mittens? Do you feed him soybeans and carrots or do you own a bag of Iams? What are the ingredients in cat and dog food, anyways? Isn’t it a mixture of meat and vegetables for a healthy coat and strong bones, or is it made with with tofu?

      My point is, most of the people on here preaching about the cruelty of animals own domestic pets, and they feed them the typical cat or dog food that has *gasp* meat in it!
      So, unless you own a fish, a rabbit or some other animal that doesn’t eat meat, then shut your pie hole you hypocritical morons!

      Animals do eat tofu, and they love it. A lot of animals are realizing that it is wrong to eat one another.
      They are realizing that they do not need to murder one another to survive. They can live off of moss, sticks and leaves instead of protein which is high in feces.

        Are you kidding? Animals are “realizing” that it is wrong to eat other animals? LOLOL They do not even have a developed hippocampus. They do not “realize” anything. That is so silly.

          Scientists have recently discovered animals DO have a developed hippocampus, especially large animals such as whales and elephants. They experience Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome-like disorders.
          Scientists have even surmised that mice are capable of empathy.
          If animals could not “realise” nor reason, they wouldn’t have as great a chance of survival in the wild.
          Emotions and reasoning are essential to animal survival.

      Yeah I heard that animals love tofu and actually prefer a vegan diet.

      I heard about how people trained a lion to eat nothing but tofu. Sure it was weaker than all the other lions but it was happy knowing that no other animals would die just so it could have a meal.
      Actually, I think the lion died of malnutrition but the point is that it didn’t want any other animals to die in vain.

      This whole “article” is absurd.
      The picture of the meat with dog shit on it is ridiculous.
      The moron who wrote this article is trying to use scare tactics to convert people to being vegans/vegetarians. Scare tactics are bogus.
      This person is uneducated.
      They have NO PROOF to back up anything they say.
      It’s just an insane rant posted by a close-minded douche bag. There is nothing legit about this article.
      In fact, I want rub his ugly vegan face into that dog shit that he unprofessionally photoshopped onto that delicious steak because he deserves it for filtering out the intelligent things because have to say about meat being essential to the human diet.

      • Mel

        May 12th, 2009

        Please refer to a book called “Slaughterhouse” which investigates the conditions in american slaughterhouses and you will read about statistics the meat industries regularly calculates about how much feces are in meat.

        Also, that delicious looking steak is only delicious looking thanks to chemicals injected into it to keep it red looking. Without those chemicals it would turn grey like all other carcass flesh.

      Meat has amino acids, proteins and vitamin B12…it’s easier to digest than supplements. Humans are supposed to eat meat, obviously based on that fact.

      The only shit I smell is coming from this bogus article.

      In response to this article, I’d say diet has something to do with people feeling tired and getting sick, but it also has to do with exercise. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegan, a vegetarian or a meat eater. What matters is how active you are.
      For example, I know a lot of vegetarians who are always tired, and who lay in bed all day long. I could argue that it’s because they don’t eat meat, but it probably has more to do with an inactive lifestyle. Same with meat eaters. They can also be lazy, or fat, etc. But it probably has more to do with over eating and not exercising enough.
      In conclusion, being a vegan/vegetarian will not automatically make you healthy, or healthier than a meat eater. Living an active lifestyle will make you healthier.

      All I’m hearing is that when people eat meat, they eat feces. In case anyone who may bear an answer to my question doesn’t know the definition of the term “premises,” I want to know WHY this is the case.

      Now that that’s taken care of: Ewewewewew!! That’s disgusting. Glad I’m a vegetarian.

      This is a lie. Your organic carrots definitely have stool on them. Collard greens and lettuce, coated in feces. Peaches and raspberries? Loaded with insect excrement. Meat from wal-mart? Probably has been in contact with poop. Hand slaughtered real animals from a real farm? far less than an acceptable amount. The world is a dungy place, and shit is a part of life.

      This is the most retarded article I have ever read!
      Seriously David, good job!

      First you state that there may be an occurrence of feces on the meat that we consume…which would be a fair assumption. The key word in this sentence is ASSUMPTION.

      You then go on about how much feces there is on meat and how sick it makes us.

      Did you ever think about telling us where this feces comes from? How does it get to our meat?
      Because right now it might be the f*cking tooth fairy that puts it there for all we know.

      The most outstanding act of retardedness must be when you use an opinion poll as scientific reference. What does the text in the pink-ish square prove? What useful information does it give us?

      If you guessed “None at all” then you guessed right!

      Seriously David, If you are a vegan I respect that. If you don’t like meat then I respect that to. But If you are trying to prove something in the future, please keep in mind that you may need some HARD FACTS that speak for your cause!

      This entire article is just rubbish!

      For me, it’s not about health. Humans are omnivores; eating all meat or all vegetables isn’t going to be healthy. Whether it’s feces or lack of proteins. So if you want to be vegan, do it for your mind, not for poopy. Stop pooping on the vegetarians cause.

      Um….has anyone considered what fertilizer is made of?? Most commercial, and certainly most privately produced fertilizer comes directly from bovine (cow) feces. And, last time I checked, animals did not require fertilizer to grow, but plants (fruits and vegetables, including the ever-so-popular tofu made of beancurd) ARE grown in fertliizer, ie cow manure, ie feces`

    20. Duh

      Jan 1st, 2009

      Well if you think about it, you yourself are feces. The entire planet is a closed system. Nothing (or at least not a noticeable percentage, even less than 0.01%) goes in or out of this system. Everything might have been anything else. For example an apple might have once been some animal’s scat. An apple seed was dropped on it, and it fertilized the tree, then the apple grew many years later. Someone picked it, put it in a box, and it got shipped to a market where you subsequently bought it. Then you ate it, and the nutrients from the apple flew through your intestines to your brain, where it nourished the cells that are reading this very post. Think about it. EVERYTHING is recycled inside Earth. Evaporated water from feces, rains down into a reservoir, you drink it… etc.

      WELL mr. Holier-than-thou-Vegan, what is it that

      makes our delicious vegetables and herbs grow,

      and what do they actually grow out of?

      Feces from a huge spectrum of animals, as well as

      animal remains (yep, ROTTEN MEAT) etc etc.

      it´s called SOIL, and is a part of the food chain.

      Feces and food are two ends of the same matter.

      Deal with it.

      I mean, vegetables are tops, I wouldn´t trade them away

      for any meat if I had to choose between the two, BUT it´s

      in my honest opinion a waste of valuable time slapping

      those who happen to enjoy their feces. Or steaks. Or whatever

      you wish to call it.

      Soooo, the vegans haven’t considered the fact that many vegetable and plant fertlisers are also made from fecal matter, and that the compost they are grown in and absorb is too, partly derived from faeces, along with many other nasties?

      Anything and everything that is natural on this world is made of everything else that is natural. Yes, faeces, urine, the lot. Including your beloved veggies! DUM DUM DUUUM!!! That is how an ECOSYSTEM works. The transmission of ENERGY, through the biomass of the planet/animal that is being eaten. OH DEAR VEGANS!! Look’s like there’s poo on your plates as well. Aren’t we all unlucky.

      So stop blindly quoting stats and thinking that they’re the king’s law. Do something useful and show the beneficial effects of fruit and vegetables instead.

Jeffery Dahmer was just fulfilling his natural calling and why he got such a bad rap is beyond me. He was just culling Milwaukee’s hispanic community of its weaker, less fit individuals - natural selection, if you will - while nourishing his psychological and physical hunger. Animals eat each other, animals murder each other, animals have sex with their brothers/sisters/siblings/the young, eat their own feces, etc. All these things are perfectly, 100% natural thus justifying being practiced by humans, right?!?!11!1

      Has anyone on here considered that animals have no conscience?? I am a vegetarian. While I believe that many things in this article are far fetched, you cannot set your whole argument upon the fact that “animals eat each other”. Animals do a lot of things I dont do. They eat their own shit sometimes for god’s sake. Animals kill to survive. We dont have to. Im never the annoying veg who sits around and tries to convert people, because I used to hate people like that. We can live perfectly fine on a non-meat diet. I have been veg for two years and have perfect iron and b-12 levels. b-12 is found in eggs and milk, so it is not essential to eat meat to obtain it. Iron is found in a large amount of foods.
      Dont argue the fact that being a vegetarian is “not healthy”, because it is a DOA argument. There is too much fact to back it up. If you dont want to be veg, just say you like eating meat! Just say “I love eating meat and dont care what is in it or what dies for it.” At least you wont be making bogus excueses…

This discussion is on the content of meat, not on the basis behind the human consumption of it. But aside, this is all hastily patched together stats and very unsupportable facts and figures put together in an attempt by the vegan communtiy to satisfy an even larger grudge…

      Want to Live Longer? Cut Back on Red Meat

      MONDAY, March 23, 2009 — Burger lovers beware: People who eat red meat have a higher risk of dying over a 10-year period—mostly due to cardiovascular disease or cancer—than their peers who eat less red or processed meat, according to a new study of about half a million people.

      “This is the biggest and highest quality study like this,” says Barry M. Popkin, PhD, from the University of North Carolina, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study, which was published Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine. “They collected the diet data very carefully, and it’s saying to people ‘You eat red meat, you drastically increase your risk of dying much sooner. ”

      In the study, a research team led by Rashmi Sinha, PhD, from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Md., looked at more than 500,000 people who were aged 50 to 71 when they enrolled in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health study.

      Over a 10-year period, people who ate the most red meat every day (about 62.5 grams per 1,000 calories per day, equivalent to a quarter-pound burger or small steak per day) had about a 30% greater risk of dying compared to those who consumed the least amount of red meat (a median of 9.8 grams per 1,000 calories per day). The excess mortality was mostly due to cardiovascular disease and cancer.

      The red meat in the study included all types of beef and pork, including bacon, cold cuts, ham, hamburgers, hot dogs, and steak, as well as meat in pizza, chili, lasagna, and stew.

      Since when did we evolve from vegetarian creatures? the last time I checked our closest relatives were chimpanzees, and they too are omnivores. Humans are not herbivores our digestive system is far less complex than it would have be for us to live solely on plants. We need to eat other animals to attain certain nutrients that we cannot digest from plants. Seriously people, before you go on pulling facts from your asses maybe you should crack open a few BIOLOGY books.

      And we do eat raw meat, its called sushi.

      I agree that non-veg may cause some sort of diseases but regular eaters of non-veg may’ve developed some extra immune to these because most of them are healthy. You may research on it.

      correct decision what is better to eat.
      I would say , IF you are a carpet hiter or hamer strugler all day than you need meat to fuel your muscles. But if you “mind and brainer all day longer ” so you don t need meat , maybe once a party time.
      Most of the time is important to seek the problem fundamentals and not going with all the noise crowd .Brain need sugar baby but penis meat.
