Don't twist my words- I never said "building them up" by feeding them a raw diet. I said by feeding a raw diet you allow their digestive system to work the way it is supposed to, which also includes being able to deal with salmonella, I never said keep giving them salmonella so they will get used to it. 
What I think is asinine is to feed a diet a digestive system is NOT designed to process, that the animal doesn't get the bioavailable nutrients from, and that causes stress on the animals body because of that.
As for the feces comment and handling, and of course a dog crapping in the house, well if that is your reasoning then reptiles and turtles should NOT be allowed as pets because aren't they always contaminated with salmonella which a person comes in contact with by touching the animal? Most people would wash their hands after picking up dog shit, or a mess the animal made in the house, but how often do you think it is that someone is handling a reptile or turtle (and snakes, not sure about them) and puts a hand in their mouth or eats something, or just doesn't wash afterwards?
I think it is pretty asinine to feed an inappropriate diet which can cause CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS for the animal because of a small chance of something that might happen, a very small chance. Your whole argument is full of overblown scare tactics. I have heard you mention about man meddling with nature/animals and fucking them up for our (mans) own purpose, yet you have no problem using scare tactics and over blowing/skewing truths to do the same? 
I have never heard of a dog getting sick from salmonella on a raw diet, I have heard of dogs getting sick from salmonella from KIBBLE. Could it be that the inappropriate diet of kibble messes with the natural workings of the digestive system so when it comes in contact with an abundance of salmonella it can't handle it?
Your arguments sound good, they have the affect that people that use them are going for, fear, but when you actually look at the facts, that fear tactic is pretty lame and weak.
You know, I dont' give a shit if you are scared or arent and the last thing I'm trying to do is twist your words. I'm just trying to present what I know as facts considering infectious disease and I'm trying to get you to take your blinders off considering your opinions and think about them for a second. You can feed your dogs whatever you want as far as I'm concerned. The thing I find troubling is you insisting that there are correlations with disease based on anecdotal claims at best. You have absolutely no proof to back up many of the claims you make, but you sure do spout them off when you get a chance. And you know what, even that is fine because I've come to expect you to spout off. I don't want to argue with you. Its just not worth it. All I want you to do is think about what you are posting because we are guaranteed there is some other dumbass who will log in here and consider your words gospel....and then go kill their dog because they dont' have the brains to feed a raw diet that is appropriately balanced for the animal. Does that make sense?
The salmonella cases I've treated have all involved dogs that ate raw foods. Thats right, food that was contaminated with salmonella that was not appropriately prepared or food that was taken from the garbage or the worst case was food offered in the form of scraps left from butchering. You aren't going to 'build them up" by repeatedly exposing them to infectious diseases. You yourself use that as the basis of your arguments why vaccinations are bad. Its not about exposure to an abundance of salmonella. its about salmonella growing under conditions that are favorable to the organism causing chronic disease or a chronic intermittant shedding effect.
I do agree with you about digestability, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are severely mistaken with your assumptions that Canids are strict carnivores. I don't have a position as to a homemade diet being better or worse for domestic dogs. That said, I think there are variations with commercially available dog foods and feeding the cheapest isn't ideal.
Using the dog and reptile example.... most people I know who own don't let their pet snakes access the same areas that they do their dogs. Dog shit is right there on the carpet where a kid can eat it. Snake shit is a solid pellet in some form of a container (cage, aquarium, snake room) that typically isn't accessable as easily as blowing diarrhea right out on the living room floor (the spot where every puppy I've ever owned has blown out diarrhea).
