"I don't think there are
substantial differences in risk depending on what you choose to eat..."


Well, obviously there are. Your risk factor would rise rather
exponetially if you walked through the woods gathering mushrooms to eat
at random, and eating fresh water fish raw, or shellfish from polluted
water, etc, etc.

Dan - What sort of meat do you use in your steak tartare? Not shrink
wrapped chopped meat from the supermarket, i hope! I used to eat that
when I was a kid, but I'm afraid to eat it now.
