Why were you eating raw meat, may I ask?

One could still freeze it like sushi fish to get rid of at least some of the pathogens.

#42Honestly, I suspect this kind of thing happens as a result of a diet devoid of microbial life and non-denatured proteins. I used to get not full on sick, but pretty sick after eating raw or partially raw meat. You may think it's crazy, but I just continued doing it and eventually stopped getting diarrhea and cramps. David Blaine (I think) talked about a similar effect from when he practiced swallowing live frogs. He…

Steak is most often prepared rare or medium-rare. Rare means raw in the middle, as that portion has not been altered by heat, hence the disclaimer on restaurant menus about undercooked foods.

#43I drink raw milk whenever I can get it and have been doing so for decades. Have not gotten sick once. I believe most, if not all, dairy farmers selling raw milk are very careful.
Definitely not all, as the small, but regularly occurring incidences of sickness from raw milk.

#44I put raw cream in my coffee daily, but don’t have the balls to drink raw milk. That said, it makes fantastic yogurt. I don’t really understand the concept of illegal raw milk though. Why can’t people consume raw milk if they want? If anything, make it illegal to feed to children (except of course, raw breast milk!!)
I’m just catching up on this, can someone explain to me what happens if you drink raw milk?
Edit: thanks for the answers everyone. My mum’s a dairy farmer and so was I during my high school weekends. My family’s been drinking raw milk for the past 20 or so years.
So it’s interesting to know what scary stuff is out there lurking and that a debate has formed around something I had grown to normalize. Tb is obviously a big one and my family being near a native forest increased that risk.
Honestly though, the only thing about drinking raw milk for me was you needed to shake it to mix the 2 inches of cream on top. So now I live somewhere I can’t even buy fresh milk, every time I get the milk out of the fridge it gets a habitual shake :s

#45> a bill that makes it legal to drink (but not sell) Woah it was illegal to drink! Even if you produced it from your own cow/goat etc? Personally I have no desired to drink raw milk, but I do hope raw milk cheese becomes more common/legal in the US.
That’s not surprising considering there are plants that are illegal.

Steak is the classic option in American cuisine, but in Germany (and some other countries), raw mince is a sandwich topping that you can buy from the butcher (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett). Obviously you've got to eat it fresh, but it's not all that bad.

What a first-world take. And not just a first-world take, but a city-slicker first-world take.
Auto-immune diseases and allergies are killing people and ruining lives. A little bit of bacteria doesn't hurt.

Similarly, I grew up spending most of the year in California but summers in southern Mexico, and the first week or two of every summer was an acclimation period of intestinal distress. (This is despite never drinking unboiled tap water. There are just different microbes floating around in the environment.) On the other hand, some of the pathogens you can get from raw milk (or insufficiently treated water) can be extr…

That's not even remotely comparable.
If someone else could die from drinking raw milk, what business is it of theirs that I choose to drink gallons of it and live to tell the tale?
The whole point of the legalization is to legalize the consumption. Did you read the article?

People getting food poisoning puts a strain on health systems, and people dying of it impacts communities and the economy.
There are also liability implications if it is served in a commercial setting, which many jurisdictions just don’t want to have to deal with.
