I was reading about raw pet food, and it was said that salmonella is not a concern. They said that salmonella has even been found in commercial pet foods. So animals can eat raw meat with zero concern, but we cant? Or is there a way that we can? I want to know what I actually have to bother myself with worrying about. Someone please ease my anxiety and fear haha

Look, a study once showed that salmonella exists in 38% of all american households. Yet, obviously, there is no salmonella epidemic over there. It's all about the environment. If one is eating unhealthy cooked food which has also been previously raised in intensively-farmed, very unhealthy environments, one is far more likely to get "infected". If one is eating raw, high quality food, then one is quite safe. In other words, there are no "pathogens", just "unhealthy environments".

Okay, thank you :) All of the grass raised organic meat I can typically find are frozen and vacuum sealed in plastic. I heard that there was a danger to do with vacuum sealed meat. Something about the lack of oxygen?

There was a claim that a lack of oxygen encouraged anaerobic bacteria such as botulinism-producing agents. I found that leaving them unaerated for a week was fine, with 10 days as amaximum. After 10 days, the meat starts tasting very odd, worse than if it had just rotted along with some oxygen.
