ORIGINAL: twicehappy While the yuck factor would not bother me, the health issue does. Ever hear on the news about serious outbreaks of the ecoli bacteria in fast food places? The bacteria comes from feces, most commonly human feces. . Actually that is incorrect. The ecoli of which you speak is found in ground beef that comes from slaughter houses that do not operate under sanitary conditions. The ecoli bacteria originates in the feces of the cow and lands up on the meat. Then the meat gets ground up with the traces of the fecal matter on it. It can be found in ground beef in a store, in a fast food place, or wherever. This is not a problem on the surface of a steak however, because if ecoli is present, its only present on the outer surface of the piece of meat, and the heat kills it off. But with ground beef the ecoli is throughout the meat, hence all the raving about cooking ground beef until its well done. This strain of ecoli is *not* found in human feces. You still wouldnt catch me doing ass to mouth. But those are the ecoli facts of life.
