On Monday night's "Larry King Live," a wide range of guests joined an in-depth and spirited debate to answer this question: Should meat, and most specifically hamburgers, be a part of the American diet?

IMO No when handled correctly & the meat is thoroughly cooked there's no side effects. Hand washing is essential in handling meat it's common sense to me.

I say yes banish all meat and poultry. Todays factory farms are filthy disgusting brutal environments for animals and definetly not healthy eating for anyone. Full of antibiotics, arsenic (ever feel sick after eating chicken?) Animal feces. not fit for the dead!

burgers will never be banned even if many people want them to be....to many people eat them despite risks of contamination....it's like a drug....

I have been flexitarian since May, 1992.

We know it takes forty times the fossil fuel to produce a pound of protein from feedlot beef as from soybean. Eating vegetarian saves enormous amount of petroleum.

What is the answer? Eat meat sparingly, share with those less fortunate than yourself.

Yes, animals are raised in barbaric conditions. We passed Prop. 2 in CA, now we are working nation-wide. Go to Farm Sanctuary if you want to help us.

This burnt charcoal meat is tainted with so much carcino/partogen that's the best kept secret by the FDA and Meat companies who are bedding each other.All this has to do with PROFITs.But when the numbers keep getting higher and higher of people dying from colon cancer,heart attacks,and other related sickness then the 'truth' would revealed itself.But for those who are wise will stay healthy and wealthy,
