Food Safety Lawyers — Here Are 3 Things We'd Never Eat

We gathered a list of the foods that these attorneys will never risk eating. Their top three are below, but other items mentioned include raw oysters (an increasing hazard on a warming planet), raw milk, unpasteurized juice, undercooked hamburger or other meat, raw or undercooked eggs and even hotel waffle batter dispensers.

("No way," said personal injury lawyer Mark Hirsch. "Warm, stagnant batter is a breeding ground for foodborne illness.")

Re 1

Is it ok to lick them?

I heard all $100s tested all have some cocaine residue on them.

A lot of the green leafy salad stuff is grown near feed lots to utilize the manure for fertilizer. Better wash that really good.

Glad to see sprouts on the top of the list.

The problem with sprouts is: grown near feed lots to utilize the manure for fertilizer. Better wash that really good.

But you can't fix sprouts by washing them! Sprouts are just tiny little babies when harvested, a few days out of the ground. They haven't had time to develop an adaptive immune system to fight off the E.coli that are in the runoff water.

Other plants that we eat are mature enough that their immune systems attack any E.coli they picked up from irrigation water. Mature plants might have E.coli on them, but sprouts can have E coli in them, and there is no way to get it out.

That's why sprouts are so much more dangerous than other plants.

Similarly for pre-cut fruit, breaking through the skin means the E.coli can spread much easier.

This is also why you have to cook chicken to 165.
There isn't E.coli in chicken meat naturally.
The chickens are covered in chicken ---- when they are slaughtered, and the E.coli gets into the meat when we remove the feathers and break open the skin that's covered in chicken ----.

I didn't say anything about sprouts, dingbat.

Sorry, I was talking about the article. I'll try not to confuse you by commenting on the topic any more.

Sure thing, dingbat. It appears that changing one word in a quote by other posters is now what you do to get attention.

I didn't change anything.

But you need to change your tampon. You're getting Toxic Shock.
