Ah yes, because meat is the only place things like that come from... wait...
The CDC currently lists 4 recent E. Coli outbreaks. Three of them are vegetable related. One is raw dairy related, which specifically does NOT use food safe practices like pasteurization to kill bacteria for safety. The product is specifically sold as a raw product with the lack of food safety being some sort of idiotic selling point.
And if we look at things like Salmonella, oh buddy. There's a current outbreak related to cucumbers spanning 15 US states. In just the last couple years there were Salmonella outbreaks from Cantaloupes, Diced Onions, Fresh Basil, Flour, Peanut Butter, and Alfalfa sprouts in addition to the meat and other general animal issues. There were outbreaks related to turtles and geckos, and those aren't even related to eating meat products.
Eating Vegan doesn't magically make bacteria ignore you. And acting like it does just puts yourself and others at risk. I think one thing nearly everyone can agree on is that people that put others at risk, are objective worse individuals than those who don't.
