Most meat that you buy in the grocery is totally frozen when it get to the market so I don't think that is a real issue. Even the locker I buy my meat at, the poultry is frozen solid. I think you need to be smart when feeding your animal any diet. you can also get just as much if not more bacteria from kibble or canned as from raw.
Before anyone just goes out and starts feeding any diet they need to read all they can on both sides of the issue and decide for themselves.
if any of you would like websites for raw diets or book titles, please e-mail me on the private side and I'll be happy to help you out.
I just don't like to see false information out there.

The argument I've heard agaisnt raw food, is not about the nutritional value
of a raw meat diet, it's the fact that poultry produced in the US is not
intended for raw consumption, it's not kept cold enough or thoroughly
screened for parasytes, because producers assume it will be cooked. I just
wonder if maybe it's worth that risk in order to feed my kitties a great
diet that they love, or not because they are already compromised. Also as
much as I hear about parasytes being a major issue, I've never heard of an
actual pet getting them from raw food.

I personally am still not 100% sure about raw food. You get the argument
that this is what cats eat in the wild, well like it or not, they aren't
wild anymore and have under gone changes due to years of being domesticated.
So, I can only go by my own experience and ours was good, no problems with
parasites.
