No, it's not dangerous to freeze meats twice. Just make sure the meat has not spoiled.

Nutritionists have said that the food will loose some of it's food value, but if you throw it away you've lost MONEY value, too!

By refreezing you will negatively affect the cell structure of the meat because when the ice crystals in the meat expands it will rupture more cells. This will destroy the texture of the chicken. The second reason is because there are now larger water pockets in the meat from the first freeze these will greatly expand and rip through the cell membranes. And the third reason is increased chance in spoilage. Many people thaw meat on the counter and not in the refrigerator. As a result microorganisms have had a chance to start doing what they do best, and that's spoil the meat. When you refreeze and thaw again these microorganisms are just going to multiply again.

No, if it hasn't been cooked after being frozen the first time. Once you thaw and cook beef, it's safe to freeze it.

Never refreeze raw meat. You should cook the meat and then freeze it.
