"Virtually certain" You may want to update your confidence. Most of SE Asia has no hygiene laws for restaurants and yet tourists flock and rarely does anything terrible result. Why would restaurant eating be a race to a bottom? It already can't compete on cost with cooking at home.

  I'm going to have to build a chrome extension that replaces all instances of"citation needed" and other pedantry with something humorous.

    You mean something as humorous as people making ambitious, vague claims without any citation of supportive evidence? Either way, here's my offering to your noble cause: lofty and ambitious, your claim, but if to convince others, your aim, a citation you must provide to support your allegation, else others will quickly deride that your claim has no fact for foundation. or Credible Hulk has arrived his face full of vexation with utmost confidence, he insists if to convince others, your aim for that grand of a claim you provide at least one damn citation

  Went to over 100 restaurants across Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia and many didn't even have a sink for hand washing. Food vendors line street selling produce next to animals. It's pretty obvious there are no enforced hygiene laws in any of those countries.

    I think he wanted a citation on "rarely does anything terrible result". My experience living in a developing nation with little to no sanitation regulation: people there got sick regularly and accepted it as part of life, e.g. "don't get the frozen pre-made food from that market, it'll make you sick." And they said that it's common to get food poisoning a couple times a year. So, not a weekly occurrence, but not all that rare. (I was living in a former Soviet republic for a little over a year, and became good friends with several people who'd lived there their entire lives.) I can't remember when I last had food poisoning here in the U.S.
