Reply #29: "Improper cooking" is, in #'s of cases, blaming the victim for shitty food products

Though I will grant you that bacteria are present on nearly every surface on this planet.

So I think you miss the point that the "proper cooking" rule is, in part, itself a response to fecal or fecal-related loads. Not always, but your riff on improper cooking is highly suggestive that you don't understand the baseline or background situation IF we were outside the corporate food chain AND had clean practices. I'm not saying one can deliberately undercook, however, at all times. I shouldn't have to stress that, given what I say above, but I will.
