"Ice" warned usn about a couple of meat related parasite problems which
are a real problem, even if you cook the meat thoroughly and even then
Toxoplasmosis* is a problem seeing as 90% of the French
population are infected by age 40. A result of the national passion for
eating undercooked meat.
It is known to change the habits of infected animals and some say it is
probably responsible for the French national character! :-)

* Only problem is if a Pregnant woman catches it for the first time whilst
pregnant it can seriously damage the baby, if she has already had it for a
while then there usually isn't a problem as her immune system is dealing
with it. In France they give pregnant women tests for it.

Yet another reason to steer clear of meat, especially the factory
farmed shit.

Go veggie if you value the life of your family.
