No bagged leafy greens. The greens from dozens of fields are mixed together, so there's more chance of contamination. It's better to buy whole heads of lettuce.

And no hamburgers. "My growth industry lately has been frozen, preform patties," he said. Scrap meat from thousands of cows gets mixed together at processing plants, so there's no telling what you're getting. If you don't cook them all the way through - which most people don't - any bacteria might survive.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, counselor, are you telling me you haven't found a store with a meat department where they grind the meat fresh, even to order? I have a grinder attachment on my Kitchen-Aid and I grind my own hamburger blend from time to time (chuck and sirloin). Stop being an alarmist weenie.

Nabb1: Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, counselor, are you telling me you haven't found a store with a meat department where they grind the meat fresh, even to order?

Precisely. Just don't buy a box of goddam frozen patties. Who the hell does that anyway?

I do that as well. Totally worth the effort. Plus you can throw other things in there while grinding.

I might have to agree with him on the oysters, which I love.

Good, more for the rest of us normal people.

I occasionally buy Trader Joe's buffalo burgers.

Also, if a restaurant/pub has Wagyu burgers, I will not order those well done.

I cook meat, what a concept
/and fish
//and oysters

I work at a fashionable "organic-focused" grocery store and I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

No, really, we had a meat-patty scare last month. Hundreds of recalls. Last time I buy pre-ground beef.

What about fish sticks?

/in his mouth?

fragMasterFlash: Intestinal fortitude: lawyers apparently have none.

Why, I've got more guts in my little finger than most of you have in your large intestine, including the colon!

Good, more for me.

Angus burgers
Hebrew National Dogs
and throw some Tabasco on your raw oysters, it'll kill most bacteria

Good....more for me.

ultraholland: Good, more for me.


Damn you.

I don't get it. Wouldn't a lawyer want to eat said foods and get sick so he can sue?

so, he still eats hot pockets?

Buy a steer from a rancher and have it processed at a reputable processing plant. Cheaper and healthier!

Let me see

raw oysters - Nope Dont like seafood
raw fish - Nope See above
sprouts - Nope, who actually eats those things, they smell like farts before you eat them
bagged leafy greens - Nope, get em fresh you lazy @#$%%^
hot dogs - Yep, He would have heart faluire over a Dim Sim
unpasteurized juice or milk - Nope Cant sell it in this country, have no problem drinking it though
hamburgers - Nope make your own you lazy @#$%

So pretty much same as me (Except the hot dogs), but I havent sued anybody....

So when I buy ground beef in the meat section at Vons, and it's all nice and red and fresh looking, with a Vons label on it saying how much it weighs and what percentage fat it has, is that safe or not according to this guy.

/long sentence

And the first Farker who says "Nanny State" owes me twenty bucks.

Saracuda: Buy a steer from a rancher and have it processed at a reputable processing plant. Cheaper and healthier!

Sure, let me just pop down to my local ranch and pick one up.

How is that a fail? It's got protein! Cook that stuff up.

Forget the issue of thorough cooking. I'm far more concerned with cows who are being fed everything from growth hormones to... well, other cows in their feed.

I grew up on a cattle ranch and ate plenty of beef in my time, but it was always clean and unadulterated. I can't bring myself to eat what they sell in most supermarkets.

Oh! Hello, Bobby

Is that a duck-billed platapus on the left? I laughed, but now I'm also genuinely curious as to how they taste.

Can I play?

raw oysters - You bet! Only when there's an 'R' in the month, though
raw fish - Absolutely, as long as it's from a good sushi bar.
sprouts - Brussels, yes - food of the Gods. Nastly little salad-bar things? - only the ones I've grown myself.
bagged leafy greens - Sure. Wash them first, though.
hot dogs - Only on special occasions, like the Blessing of the Fleet.
unpasteurized juice or milk - Sure. Juice if I make it myself - milk if I know the farmer.
hamburgers - sure, from a butcher who makes them from low-fat ground beef. Balducci, for example.

Isnt the "red and fresh looking" effect from the CO2 they expose it to? Dont really remember, but still eat it.

How the f*ck have we survived as a species all these millennia ?

Sure, there is stuff out there that can make you sick and kill you but don't be such a nancy.

Auto accidents kill more people every year than anything else, but I'm guessing lawyer boy still drives.

There's no point in ordering a Wagyu hamburger.

It just goes to show, Jewish people had it right all along.

color is not an indication of freshness - many butchers and grocery stores color their meat so that it appears like they ground it 10 minutes ago, regardless of the actual age of the meat.

hillbillypharmacist: Precisely. Just don't buy a box of goddam frozen patties. Who the hell does that anyway?

Yep, I don't get it either but I know plenty of folks (men and women) for whom that's the only way they know. We've created a culture of total convenience.

I hear lawyers make good lion feed.

Diogenes: I might have to agree with him on the oysters, which I love.

Agree with him? He didn't say a damn thing about them except to list them. I've eaten thousands of the damn things with no ill effects yet.

raw oysters - From my cold wet hands
raw fish - Yes See above
sprouts - Yes, I'll take them with a family member made meal only (polite to grandma), they smell like farts before you eat them
bagged leafy greens - Yes, but I would get em fresh you lazy @#$%%^
hot dogs - NOOOOOOO
unpasteurized juice or milk - Nope
hamburgers - Nope make your own

Well then, he's an idiot who doesn't understand issues of scale: for every case of tainted food he has dealt with, there were tons of un-tainted food that were produced, distributed, and consumed without incident.

I bet gynecologists aren't as interested in pussy anymore after they've seen hundreds of diseased vaginas up close, either.
