firmly grasp it

Anonymous: "We can digest raw meat (think steak tartare), but we get less nutrients from raw than cooked meats. Cooking food in general, not only meats, make them more digestible and more calories can be extracted from cooked food. Raw meat can make people ill if the meat is contaminated with bacteria. If we were to kill an animal and immediately consume its flesh without storing it, we would not get sick. But in modern meat processing plants, the meat can become contaminated with fecal matter"

“The same goes with modern day egg farms. So the human body can technically consume raw meat, but the way we go about processing the stuff is what makes it unsafe. Eating meat isn’t the issue (in my opinion I’m sorry I know you’re in a bad mood I don’t mean to push), its the mass production of animals for meant consumption purposes.”

this is actually super fascinating, cause i’ve always been taught (like probably most others) that raw meat is BAD BAD BAD and we’ll DIE if we have it, ya know?
don’t worry about “pushing it”, i love having discussions too!! where did you get your info?
