Re: Eating Raw Beef
[ QUOTE ]
I really enjoy raw fish and I'm interested in raw meat. Have you ever gotten sick from eating raw meat before?

No, I haven't. The key, as I mentioned before, is freshness and a good cut. Bacteria grow on the surface of meat, not the inside, so if the meat is fresh and has little surface area there isn't much chance for bacteria to grow. The risk of getting sick is higher eating raw beef, but still so low that I would never worry about it as long as proper food handling techniques and preparation were used. And if they weren't, I wouldn't eat cooked food either.
