Lol most people who wash meat are not going online to snarky-ass, uppity forums like this to get their cooking info. They're just doing it because that's how it was taught to them and they've never really run across information that tells them otherwise. Subsequently, these practices stem from decades of sociopolitical factors that breed an attitude that isn't going to go away just because someone put it in a Vox article. The read here, if Era could stop being Era for a second, would be to go "Oh, I understand why certain populations might do that" and then take the conversation from there.Instead we have to suffer through pages of the indignation of a bunch of crackas who can't be bothered to wash their feet.

QuoteIn that case I can sell you a rock that if you hold it, you won't get sick. Trust me, every time I've held it I haven't gotten sick so I know it protects you.I'm pretty sure that if you would look at meat sold in open market places you wouldn't feel safe by just cooking it

I'm also sure that people are assuming a lot about the how washing happens, based on what I'm seeing here. Do people think that we're just slapping chicken into the sink?

She's really been extra racist lately lmao
Quote from: SlayvenHow you think folks be washing? You put it at the package at the bottom of the sink. Unwrap and wash, then put them in a tray beside the sink. Who is slinging wet chicken around?This. Nasty meat juice does directly down the drain. I season and then the plastic goes straight in the recycling bin outside.

Since we're talking about science, science has already said that people don't reflexively trust experts when their conclusions go against deeply ingrained beliefs and practices, so the pushback should not actually be so frustrating to such a rational person as yourself. Science also definitely says it's not a shocker that people don't change their minds immediately when presented with mockery by no-names on the Internet who, again, failed to take the five seconds necessary to try and figure out why people might do something they themselves don't do. This attitude, by the way, of sneering mockery, sarcasm, and implied intellectual superiority when minorities are presenting you with the cultural reasons for why they have always done something that you don't do, is indeed crackery, and it's one of many reasons Era is so fucking insufferable.
You gotta love the pragmatism in shitting all over disenfranchised communities because they have a rightful distrust of this world's institutions.

the cdc guideline isn't unknown, but they basically tell me that that chicken slaughterhouse slime is okay to eat and I say, nah, i'm good.there's all sorts of ways to manage your water without splashing a firehose or even a mild spritz if you're worried about that. bowls, bags, containers and so on.i know people like to unload responsibility and just lean back into government guidelines, but the people who wash their meats have been taking proactive responsibility for their own wellbeing for longer, since before the government made an attempt to care.
This could be it.Anecdotally, as a white person who only grew up around and knows non-white people, I've never heard of anyone washing their meat. I didn't know it was a thing until I worked at restaurants and was taught it's fairly common.
QuoteI still can't figure out if this is a meme or not. If people are actually taking meat and attempting to wash it with like, soap and water or whatnot.nah, just generally putting most of your butchered raw meats into some water or water/acid solution for a period. From running a steak under some water to wash the blood and grit off, to putting some chicken wings in a ziplock bag and adding some water and half cup white vinegar to soak for an hour.

White people: You gotta stop being so dang condescending in your replies. Yes, washing raw meat is scientifically more dangerous than not washing it. But it's not nearly as risky as some of you are making it out to be. Cultural habits are very hard to overcome and being a dick about it won't help.Fuck man. Like I know eating raw cookie dough is scientifically a bad ideas but I'm still doing to do it because that shits delicious. It doesn't make me anti science. I'm just weighing the personal risks.
QuoteIs it ignorance when a white butcher lace your food with foreign debris or just haphazardly toss your food around This shit happened alot for black people.This.As has been pointed out, there are cultural reasons to do this even if one knows it's less safe.

Yeah, the snarky condescendtiin prevalent in this thread is a bit much. Just because you're right doesn't mean you have to be a complete fucking asshole about it. A lot of people aren’t even trying to understand the cultural differences that lead to people washing their meat.Also, none of you people in this thread are fucking funny. So I don’t get all the joke cracking up in here.
QuoteTons of posters trying to make non-washers feel like they're somehow dirty or unclean because they're not washing meat or chicken before cooking it.Lol, the non-washers shot first. They can take a little ribbing, especially with the science on their side. Straighten up.

It's a food thread on Era. Food threads on here are always snarky, always awful and usually openly racist.
QuoteIt kind of goes both ways though. Tons of posters trying to make non-washers feel like they're somehow dirty or unclean because they're not washing meat or chicken before cooking it.Why do people always try to “both sides” shit when white people fuck shit get brought up? I need to know….

Quote from: AskeIt's a little harder online, because you can't see who you're talking to, and you're addressing a ton of people at the same time. Black people saying "I wash my meat because my parents used to pick cat litter out of the shit they were sold by white butchers in the 70s" are getting mixed in with white people saying "I wash my meat because my grandma always said 'clean meat, clean wheat, clean skeet'; and she was the best clay pigeon shooter in all of Rochester county".I can see why it's fucking irritating, but I don't think that the snarky comments are being purposefully aimed at minorities. I thought I was talking to a bunch of posters who weren't a million miles away from anti-vaxxers, I didn't realise I was also talking to minorities who were describing a shared, culturally-specific, lived experience until the poster above me couched the issue in a racial context.First off, it took me longer than expected to read this because I was laughing at the end of the first paragraph. "clean meat, clean wheat, clean skeet." Wat? 😂Second, I don't think people are doing it on purpose either. But I think it's the natural conclusion to uppity, know-it-all white liberal attitude that permeates this forum. It's poisonous to trying to bolster a welcoming environment here for minorities who happen across threads like this and just don't bother. Which is why in these threads about different kinds of practices of which I have some insight about, I am quick to point the reasoning out in the hopes that people will actually just take a moment to back off. Maybe learn something about the history of a group you probably haven't even seen in person!Alas, this will all be forgotten the next time white people balk at the use of wash cloths or something or other.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/wait-not-everyone-washes-and-dries-their-meat-before-seasoning.558760/page-3#post-83067406 Yes, Nepnep, it's a "cultural" thing, not something borne out of ignorance of how pathogens spread. I'm sure you'll find some way to say drinking turpentine is superior to white folks' fancy vitamins and cold remedies next.
QuoteI get why people did it, I don't get why people continue to do it. Habit/being taught by parents isn't an excuse.I don't understand difference.

White people take any opportunity to condescend to POC as this thread shows.
Quote from: Nintex on March 03, 2022, 04:04:54 PMMore shocked that they aren't vegan literally colonizing and killing the planet like thatYou're surprised they aren't vegan? Being vegan actually requires you to do something and inconvenience your life and work to adopt new habits. These people can't even be inconvenienced to accept that they're wrong when produced with bold-faced facts.
Decades of sociological factors from white supremacy lead up to this point, ergo changing it now would be white supremacy. Go wash your feet.
QuoteMy Gma used to wash chicken back in the day because....She was born in 1925 and black folks didn't have access to quality meats/etc. Its 2022, my black ass aint washing chicken I got from Publix.To be fair, Publix is a blessing. But the meat from Wayfields? Nah son.

Wayfield Foods was founded in 1982 by Ron Edenfield and Ralph Calloway with hope to be the store of choice in the community. The name Wayfield is the combination of the ending of the co-founders’ last names, but it quickly began to stand for quality meats, superior service and competitive prices. In 1989, Ron Edenfield bought out his partner, making him the owner and president. Since that time, Wayfield Foods, with the help of its extraordinary staff and dedicated managers, has opened stores throughout Metro Atlanta, has supported the surrounding communities, has provided college scholarships and is known as a leading community employer with more than 500 employees throughout its various locations.In an effort to encourage and show appreciation to our associates, Wayfield instituted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This allows all eligible associates to enjoy part ownership in the company as they dedicate themselves to working hard to build the value of our business. In 2005, Wayfield established an Employee Care Chaplain program as a voluntary, confidential benefit to any associate and their families in times of need.

Hmm, I'll admit that I was washing chicken for years due to parental upbringing before I learned about the higher chance of contaminants spreading around your cooking area when you do that.
I don't wash my meats because I've been taught not to but I wasn't aware that for cultural reasons (aka racism) other people might have been taught otherwise and for good reasons.I fully admit I first was tempted to make a snarky ass comment here but instead I actually learned something. So thanks for that.
