Corn Feed, E. Coli Evolution, and Ruminant Biology
The narrative explores how Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz pushed for industrial corn production, leading to the use of corn in cattle feedlots. This diet changed the pH of cow stomachs, allowing the acid-resistant E. coli O157:H7 strain to evolve. Doug Lindemood argues that returning to a grass-only diet eliminates the environment where such dangerous pathogens flourish.
