Total BS that eating raw meat is bad for you

Recently started eating raw beef. Nothing has happened as far as food poisoning. I have noticed a huge increase in random boners since eating raw beef(probably a increase in testosterone?). And my digestion has improved greatly since eating raw beef. Not a troll post, as I am writing this post I am chew on some raw hamburger.

Enjoy getting sick eventually!

Enjoy your parasites! People die all the time from undercooked meat.

Name one person who has died all the time from eating undercooked meat.

Joe Barowski.

The appendix fought off bacteria during the age when man ate raw food, but then man started to cook meat to

eliminate deadly bacteria. Man's brain and intelligence evolved due to cooked meat. Cooking made food more digestible, which allowed the body to efficiently absorb nutrients.

Can you imagine man eating raw chicken and pig? Just think, so many people died, and so many disorders and diseases developed from that way of eating.

Cooking red meat to about medium to medium well will kill nasty bacteria, but not overcook it to where burnt carbon builds

up.

Also, you definitely do not want to eat a hamburger raw. Ground beef goes through a grinder, which picks up bacteria inside out.

Cook ground beef all the way through, well done.

Be patient. It takes a while for tapeworms to grow.

Caveat: unless you have your own meat grinder, that will bring the risk of raw burger down to the same level as whatever meat you used to make it.

Anyway, yeah, raw meat isn't inherently bad. Cooked meat is more digestible and we get more of the nutrition, but that doesn't mean raw is bad.

It's only the potential contaminants that are bad.

Oh, and the extremely rare prions are an extra bad contaminant.

For years I have been consuming the following in a rare/raw state without issue:

-eggs raw, in a cream shake like eggnog

-steaks cooked very rare, just searing the exterior adequately

-beef and cod liver, raw

I do not consume poultry or pork raw.

My health has more than doubled in improvement in terms of digestion, resistance to illness, training, etc..

The only issues I have had in the last three years is a one-off day of stomach distress due to a "spring greens" raw salad.

If you eat salads raw, you are taking more of a risk, due to field workers being forced to defecate in fields while working.

I went through a bout of campylobacter last September due to an undercooked burger. A month of misery. Enjoy that raw meat.

You'll eventually get sick from eating veggies.

This sounds yummy:

Raw meat diseases

Every year in the United States, 6.5 million to 33 million cases of illness are diagnosed due to microbial pathogens, with about 9,000 deaths occurring annually as well.[3] According to a multi-state study published in the America Journal of Preventative Medicine, the annual cost of disease caused by food borne pathogens is estimated to be anywhere from 9.3 to 12.9 billion dollars in “medical costs and productivity losses.”[4] Most of these diseases come from contact with contaminated raw meat, although other "vehicles of transmission" are becoming more and more frequent due to global travel.[5] Other sources of disease-causing pathogens can include, but are not limited to: lettuce, sprouts, fruit juices, vegetables, raw milk and water. However, the main source of disease caused by microbial pathogens is usually raw meat.[6] The type of pathogen present varies depending on the type of meat eaten.[7][8]

Common pathogens

Beef

"E. coli O157:H7"

Salmonella serovars

Shigella

Staphylococcus aureus

Listeria monocytogenes

Poultry

Salmonellas

Campylobacter

milanotosis

I rarely eat hamburger, but when I do I cook it thoroughly. I almost never eat meat I didn't prepare myself. I rarely eat out.

Raw meat gives me bad gas! ☹

Vegans are responsible for more methane than all livestock combined.
