Lets start with the obvious - a modern food is disgustingly safe compared to what a human immune system is capable of handling. No matter what Madison Avenue has tried to convince the US public - a single or couple of bacteria won't kill you.
And if you mean prepared Chinese food - have you seen the burners under the woks - they look, sound and consume fuel at comparable rate to a jet engine. It is very intense style of cooking using high heat for small amounts of time. The surfaces (where all the nasty stuff is) on everything that has went trough it are thoroughly sterilized.
Stuff like pickling, acids in the dressing also make the non heat treated stuff safe.
It is hard for people with normal immune system to get hurt by modern food.
- xorcist 10y ago> couple of bacteria won't kill you That's naive. Enjoy your chicken sashimi.
- twblalock 10y agoChicken and pork sashimi are not difficult to find in Japan.
- jpatokal 10y agoChicken, yes. Pork, no longer: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/05/27/national/health-ministry-to-ban-restaurants-from-serving-raw-pork-2/ http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/05/27/national/health-...
- majewsky 10y agoIn fact, a couple of bacteria are usually good for you. It keeps your immune system occupied. Over-cleanliness fuels development of allergies, as I can attest for myself, having to cope with all sorts of food, pollen, dust and animal allergies.
- sosborn 10y agoI've had chicken sashimi. It was served with raw egg and it was delicious.
- kuschku 10y agoModern food is so ridulously safe, in Germany a common dish is to put raw minced meat onto bread – Mettbrötchen – and it’s riskless.
