At this point one should assume meat has e coli or mad cow, since the government isn't doing jack shit about curtailing either one.

What the government is doing or not doing isn't actually relevant to what one should assume. What is relevant is how dangerous it actually is to eat meat, based on how many others are getting sick. I'll take my chances, which are damned good.

fyi e. coli lives in the guts of all mammals (people included)

There are many kinds of e. coli. Not all are harmful, but obviously we're talking about the harmful kind.

Sure it is. The government isn't enforcing current meat safety laws, so the assumption being that one can get sick eating meat. Do you fly airlines that allow drunk pilots to fly, even "just a few?"

"What is relevant is how dangerous it actually is to eat meat, based on how many others are getting sick"
Yep. I say go for eating all the meat you want. Life is a series of measurements against risk. Some find it an acceptable risk with great benefit, others don't, or work around that risk. My point is the government recognizes said risk and is doing nothing to prevent further occurrences of it, and the rate is increasing.
