That's the scary one - the fact that raw vegetables are the biggest cause of food borne illness.

Serve them with the lights out then...

People with irrational food issues PISS ME THE EFF OFF! Cracks me up that the vast majority of these food issues with people such as crap like "it's not the taste, it's the texture" are just the result of overly permissive parents who never forced them as kids to grow the fk up and stop being such a goddamn baby about real food.

Every day I grow more and more annoyed with the terrible eating habits of people who ruin quality food and turn to "idiot proof" but nutritionally catastrophic pre-packaged food and then keel over and blame "the American diet"...


My fkn stepmother pulls that bs with the burgers. If I grill up a platterfull for a bunch of people she grabs the biggest thickest looking one and then bites into it and makes a big deal that it's still got pink in the middle. Of course I'll tell her that she picked one of the med-rare ones and she'll make a face as she looks at the well done ones which look like hockey pucks, which of course she doesn't want because next to the medium rare burgers the well done ones look terrible... no siht!

Meh, I cook my own food, so I'll eat it as overcooked as I like it.

When I make things for other people though, I don't prepare them the same. I cooked a bomb ass Thanksgiving dinner, and the Turkey came out awesome - but I removed it probably an hour sooner than I would've if I was cooking for just me. I just prefer meats dryer and overcooked - I think it tastes better, and the texture is better. I know most people don't though.

A huge percentage of Americans are idiots when it comes to overcooking. I've never been anywhere else in the world where people so criminally overcook their food.

Why are you guys so melty about how people prefer their food?

I can somewhat understand if the person is being irrational about the food being 'gross' or thinking they'll pick up something from it, and won't just try it prepared the way it's supposed to be.

OTOH, regardless of how great moist turkey/chicken meat is supposed to be, I do not enjoy it. The texture and taste isn't good. I much prefer the white meat cooked dry and stringy - so you can pull strips like string cheese. MMmmmm. I won't cook it like that for other people though, just me. However, I will make it like that for myself every time.

It's always a bit amazing how incredibly stupid many Americans are...about just about everything. I know that this is true of people in other countries on some issues, but not EVERY issue like it is here.

I spent a couple of months in Africa and South America last year, and the average person in both places was much better informed about many issues than the average educated office worker you meet in the US. Sorta floored me that people on the street could have conversations about science and current events and whatnot, and most of them weren't spouting total stupidity.

Everyone in the US should be required to spend a year traveling abroad. It would do more to fix this stupid country than all the money being spent by every charity and the government combined.

And they might learn how to eat food that isn't pasty, spongy crap that has been nuked to hell and back.

In my particular case the "burn the siht out of my food" types and the ultra picky eaters have created no end of problems for me in the course of my life, to the point that I pretty much refuse to prepare food for people like that. They can have what I prepare or they can prepare it themselves.
