Wasn't bad.

I've had snake, too. That was pretty decent.

I've been told that the Poles will eat everything on the pig except the squeal.

Salmonella poisoning, among other things.

Since when did beef carry salmonella? Check your meats, buddy. It's poultry that is unsafe to eat raw. Beef can be eaten raw as long as it hasn't come in contact with animal feces, which is pretty common during the slaughter process. This is why it's perfect safe to eat a steak "rare" but you can't eat chicken until it is "well done"

There is no meat that is 100% safe to eat raw. Period. Beef can carry salmonella, just not as commonly as chicken because chickens are far more succeptable to the disease. And E. Coli is fairly common as well. Remember that incident with E. Coli at Jack in the Box several years ago?

Beef is not the miracle eat-it-raw meat. Fish/shellfish is about as close as you can get.

E. Coli exists ONLY in the intestines of the animal. period. It's physically impossible for E. Coli to exist anywhere else.
What doneness do you order your steak to when you at eating out?

E. coli gets spread all over when the cows are slaughtered. Have you seen a slaughter house (abattoir)? Do you even know how cows are slaughtered? If you did, you would realize why raw beef is a risky game. And no matter what anyone has told you, the contents of the digestive tract (intestines et al) get splattered all over the insides of the cow during the gutting.

They could be gutted properly, but that would slow down the process tremendously, and slaughter houses want speed.

Your USDA can only check a random amount of meat for e. coli and the rest is a crap shoot. Look how long it took for both Canada and the US to discover the BSE.

I know most beef has ecoli contamination on the surface, that's not my point. My point is that, properly prepared, raw beef will not hurt you unless it has been exposed to fecal matter or digestive matter, which is exactly what you said.
