I always buy ground beef that I expect to be ground "that day". I don't want filler that came from a couple of states away. If the store adds filler they need to be completely up front about it. |

I had not tracked it down but had heard that it was brought to the forefront by a TV cook. I've seen some of those History or Discovery channel shows where they show production of processed meats like hot dogs. I think hot dogs are OK to eat but anyone that sees their production might have second thoughts. You could make similar comments on other processed foods like canned soup. All safe to eat, but you might not like to see the preparation. |

I've eaten raw fish (often!) and also lamb and beef. Mmm, that's tasty! Haven't tried raw chicken nor do I have any desire to. There's been an interesting evolution in animal behaviorism, regarding what behaviors are thought to distinguish humans from other animals. One by one, the old criteria have fallen by the wayside, as primate researchers have observed chimpanzees and gorillas using tools, making tools, conducting funerals (!), doing simple arithmetic, planning and anticipating the actions of another, and using language. One distinction still remains: man, and *only* man, uses fire. And that's really the big difference between us, and the "lower" animals: we f*cking COOK our food. Because we can. |

You're here because your not so long ago ancestors ate rotten meat, slugs, and anything they could get their hands on. It was only the last generation that did essentially the same thing out on the farm. Get over yourself. Everyone dies of something. You'll probably choke to death on some huge bite of pork. Steve |
