With all due respect to Laz,,,, I would like to see the documentation to support this statement:
They didn’t tell you that nearly 70% of grocery store chickens are contaminated with salmonella every day

I just find that statement highly suspect. And if one statement in the post is suspect,, I have to wonder if the rest of it is accurate.

Salmonella is very common in chickens even if raised on the farm, IIRC. Hence the subsequent teachings of my 4-H leaders and home ec teachers so many years ago, to always throughly cook poultry until the juices run clear. I wouldnt’ be surprised at the 70% figure, it might be low.

Cook meat to recommended degrees, problem solved. Except now the gubmint can shut operations down easier, just what we needed. Yes, they will abuse it. Yes, they will try to engineer what we can and can’t eat.

Bless those who volunteer to by 4-H leaders BTW. Those generous and patient women who opened their kitchens to a bunch of giggling 10 year girls and actually taught them a few things about cooking and meal preparation is a testament of their service to America’s girls.

Good morning everybody. We’re in the final Christmas stretch.
