Because bacteria will grow in the meat once it is thawed and then you put it back in the freezer which just hibernates the bacteria - when you bring it out to thaw again the bacteria just multiplies and next thing you know cooking it just doesn't cut it and you could come down with some life threatening food poisoning.
