Although this article on yahoo news is not for vegetarians, it could be used as good pro vegetarian propaganda, and here are few quotes: 13 percent of raw U.S. turkeys carry salmonella, a bacteria that can turn a holiday into misery if the bird is not thoroughly cooked, an advocacy group said on Monday. Samples collected by the U.S. Agriculture Department found salmonella contamination rates of 3 percent for ground beef and 9 percent for chicken, the group said. While most healthy adults recover in a few days from the diarrhea and vomiting that typically accompany salmonella poisoning, the elderly and those with chronic diseases can suffer more serious effects. About 500 Americans die each year from salmonella, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
