The most important kinds are beef (ox), veal (calf), mutton (sheep), lamb (young sheep), pork (pig), ham and bacon (pig) , venison (deer) . Poultry includes chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese, guinea hens, and game birds. The quality of meat is dependent on the condition of the animal from which it is derived. Of all the foods, meat is the one most subject to conditions rendering it unwholesome or even dangerous. Certain diseases of animals are communicable to man through eating of the flesh, and there is danger that through lack of cleanliness in slaughterhouses and exposure to dust and flies, meat may be infected with Bacillus enteritidis which produces poisonous products which are not destroyed by cook- ing and which are now considered to be the commonest cause of food poisoning - - so-called " ptomaine ' poisoning. The United States Department of Agriculture, under the meat inspection law of 1906, provides for the inspection of establishments which send products into foreign or interstate commerce. There are, however, many establishments which do business entirely within one state and they may or may not have local inspection. For the need of state inspection see United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry, Circular 154 (1908). In meat as it is purchased we have bone, fat, and the flesh, consisting of the muscle of the animal with its connective tissue. 123 124 LABORATORY MANUAL OF FOODS AND COOKERY
