I have eaten rare and raw meat all my life without ill effect. It is the sloppy handling in the slaughter houses and poor disinfecting and cleaning of said places that is causing problems. I like sushi too.
I'm with Christina!
Go raw meat!! : )
Oh, and remember those spinach and lettuce scares? It's not just meat!
Yeah, eat it at reliable places, but Carpe Diem.
I will go post the Chili recipe for you guys. I am a cook from a recipe girl, but I am proud to say that this is my one and only recipe that I came up with all on my own.
