If humans are meant to eat meat then why cant they eat raw meat?

Yes, you can, and some of the dishes based around it are delicious.

No you cant

Yes we can eat raw meat, thousands of dishes all around the world are developed around the basis of raw meat as the main ingredient. This includes all meats such as steaks, minced beef, pork, fish and CHICKEN! Yes in Japan there are raw chicken dishes which are perfectly safe to eat.

The reasons why raw meat in most forms can make us ill as humans is due to many reasons:
1) as we have evolved we have developed diverse eating habits which included cooking out meats to add flavour and diversity into our foods, this cooking has led to the eradication of the bacteria from the meat and nowadays we rarely consume any bacteria (salmonella for example) from raw meat. Our immune systems have grown much weaker through our cooking of food and can no longer stomach the raw meat like before, this is also due to a change in the gut flora which reside in our intestines. Providing it is prepared correctly and has very little bacteria raw meat is perfectly edible and safe.
2) the way meat is farmed now commercially means there is a much greater chance of infection spread between livestock, hence why a lot of raw meat is unsafe. If you find raw meat in foods its generally come from small farms, never buy and consume raw chicken from a supermarket, that would be disastrous!

Can I please point out your ignorance, if you eat RAW VEG which is covered in bacteria (i.e. unwashed or from soil laiden with bacteria) then you will also get ill. There is a reason why most people cook potatoes nowadays! Eating ANY FOOD with bacteria will cause illness, hence why both clean veg and meat free from harmful bugs can be eaten raw!

Everything you've said in this post is compete BS.

your username sums you up pretty nicely... your obviously ignorant to anything but your opinion, so im going to leave my facts there, do with them what you will but its so easy to see nobody will ever be able to reason with your ignorant mind, no matter how truthful or factual those statements may be.

p.s its ignorant and frankly rude vegans and vegetarians like you who give the lifestyle a bad reputation. A lifestyle is a CHOICE so go about yours happily and as will I with mine.

My username sums you and people lie you up.

You have no idea what a fact is. You have spoke no such thing.

p.s. Raping is a choice too it doesn't mean its the right way to live. Just piss off. Seriously.

Everything you've said in this post is compete BS.

You are a prime example of what happens when generations of siblings reproduce with each other.

Stop trying to use reductio ad absurdum to prove your point as it is making you look stupid.

A more relevant example would be, are you against people eating ackee raw as it could potentially kill them? Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica and should be cooked to kill the toxins in it.

Yes or no?

The username pillock was already taking you ****ing moron.

I've reported this post.


It's very clear to me that the lack of meat in your diet has caused all sorts of problems such as low testosterone, mood swings and a generally unlikable personality.

Ohhh you repoorted a post. Big deal.

So its ok for people to insult me but when I insult them back I am the bad guy?

You don't think we should eat meat, fair enough, but don't lie and pretend we actually can't. Oh, and comparing eating to rape is pretty disrespectful to survivors of rape.

He didn't insult you though did he, pointed out a spelling mistake in your username. Either way, I would offer you a nice big juicy burger to calm down, but I'm sure you'd prefer a limp lettuce leaf

gotta love the op for ignoring the yes you can. shut this thread down.
