Nosestretcher alert: Grass-fed beef not free from E. coli O157

Food porn is everywhere – and can be bad for public health.

ABC2 in Baltimore, Maryland ran a piece yesterday about a “quick, easy and healthy meal that won’t break the bank” and quoted certified nutritionist and personal trainer, Christi Christiaens, as saying “grass fed beef strongly reduces and sometimes eliminates the growth of harmful bacteria, like E-coli.”

No it doesn’t.
