Animal flesh is often contaminated with feces, blood, and other bodily fluids—all of which make animal-derived foods the top source of food poisoning in the United States. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health tested supermarket chickens’ flesh and found that 96 percent of Tyson chicken packages were contaminated with campylobacter, a dangerous bacterium that causes 2.4 million cases of food poisoning each year, resulting in diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever. Would you believe the first vegan cook book was published in 1874, which means veganism has existed for more than two hundred years! The book is called 'The Hygeian Home Cook Book' and was published in New York by Russell Thatcher Trall; one of the founding members of the American Vegetarian Society. |
