Do you know where your hamburg is coming from?

This was a disquieting and off-putting article in the New York Times this morning, tracing what went into a frozen hamburg patty that resulted in a Minnesota woman being paralyzed as a result of E-Coli poisoning. Well worth reading. Despite my sometimes good intentions, I don't often grind meat myself. This article has renewed my resolve though. How about you - do you buy prepackaged ground meat at your grocers? If you order medium rare burgers at establishments what gives you confidence that it will be safe?
