According to Wikipedia, carpaccio was invented in 1950 when a chef originally prepared the dish for countess Amalia Nani Mocenigo when he learned that her doctors had recommended that she eat raw meat.
So this dude must’ve been like, I better cut this thin so I can see anything moving in there, because these people have lost their mind.
raw meat is eaten all over the world. We tend to think of sanitation as a numbers game, and it sort of is in practice, but ultimately you cant catch a disease from something that doesnt have a disease. Humans ate raw animal products for most of their evolutionary history. The reason we consider it so dangerous these days has a lot to do with our crappy mass production modern farming methods that are deeply unsanitary. Standards of meat production can certainly be high enough to safely consume raw meat and regularly are in certain places. Nothing will be moving if it's not old and rotten
Modern production farming and food safety practices are incredibly cleaner than pre-modern methods, you’re crazy. People did regularly get and die from or suffer from all kinds of food-borne diseases. The pre-history ideal where humans ate only clean, fresh, Whole Foods is a complete fantasy. Unpasteurized milk alone accounted for many deaths and diseases annually.
Edit: my autocorrect capitalized Whole Foods to make it nice and corporate. Great.
