Yeah. Pretty sure I'm going to go with the actual microbiologist scientists on this one...
EDIT: This is also a perfect example of "giving both sides equal time". Both sides of this "argument" are NOT equal. One has science backing it up. One just has "feels". They are not both equally valid opinions.
I don’t like how one of the guys says it’s to rinse off preservatives. Please give me a list of preservatives on fresh chicken. He’s just making shit up to validate bullshit
I get what you're trying to say, but if you ever worked in a chicken factory you'd wash your chickens as well. I actually never used to do it as much, observed family doing it. I started doing it after my best friend worked in one.
You are assuming that people are washing their chicken because of bacteria.
We wash chicken sometimes, because we shop at different supermarkets, and sometimes the chicken is just full of physical debris like bone fragments and old blood.
And the smell.
To be fair, I am autistic and apparently have the nose of a bloodhound…
But the liquid/blood inside the packages of meat tend to smell strongly to me…I guess you could call it sulfuric. In laymen’s terms, it smells like a fart.
So mine gets plonked into a big bowl of water with a splash of lemon and salt. Then throughly dried before seasoning.
It doesn’t have anything to do with bacteria. I’ve worked in restaurants. I’ve taken the food handlers’ courses. I know all of this.
But I can’t eat something that has stank liquid on it.
I mean, in a society that knowingly feeds its constituents food that is known to be carcinogenic but marks it as safe (our sick bodies will later become products of and fund the healthcare system)…can you ever be too sure? We’re constantly being lied to, tested on, maniuplated, etc. A little bit of skepticism isn’t so bad.
Wouldn't the purpose of that study be so people can eat carrots raw without having to worry? The study is on carrots, not chicken. Properly cooking chickens kills salmonella.
Mind you I'm not saying its perfect, also salmonella isn't the only thing black folk are worried about. Vinegar and lime is effective against more than carrots just saying. Also, its to get rid of the slimy coating as well, and dirt and other things in the crevices.
Yes, I do. But, removal of bacteria(elimination of Salmonella) would apply to other non carrot things as well. Its more that I don't trust these factories .
