Why Vegetarian???- food illnesses

Afraid of food poisoning? Eating a healthy vegetarian diet helps you avoid many food borne illnesses such as E.coli, salmonella, and listeria. Most importantly, children are more susceptible to these ailments; their immune systems haven't fully developed to withstand tainted meat. By eating a veggie diet, you can protect yourself and your children (if you have any) from these icky germs.
