/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Alright, I'm tired of seeing all the talk about how people should eat less meat for health, or for the environment, or to contribute less to mutilating billions of animals.

Boring.

The thing we should all be talking about is the fact that meat has more fecal bacteria on it than the inside of a toilet. I.E. it's more hygienic to lick the inside of your school's toilet than it is to lick a piece of chicken. 62% of chicken has campylobacter virus, 14% has salmonella, and half has e.coli. Jesus Christ.

62% of chicken has salmonella or campylobacter bacteria according to Consumer Reports. Researchers found more fecal bacteria on chicken than they found swabbing a toilet, and described raw chicken as basically fecal soup.
