North Carolina's Rare Burger Ban Makes Red Meat Illegal

[bobzilla]

I've watched my butcher grind meat a few times. No big deal to me. I don't really care how people eat their food (they pay for it), but to be called an animal because I enjoy, and pay for, my food the way I like it is irritating.

So is being told over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over(and that's just today's posts) how overbearing and controlling our fascist gov't is is irritating as well.

The horse is dead, and the stick is but a nub. Time to beat another topic to death.

Hmmm....apparently you were absent on the day they mentioned that you can always not read a thread if it irritates you? If you don't like the subject matter then stay away. That's what adults do.

I have been known to eat raw hamburger...I know I know...REALLY dangerous. Yummy though.

I love me some properly prepared beef tartar

Goes both ways.... why don't you quote the other person that was "irritated"?

Didn't see anyone elses post. Notice you're still hanging out in an "irritating" thread, tho.

 

[bobzilla]

It's quoted in my post. Must be hard to see. I hang around to see what other off the wall crap y'all come up with. It's usually very....ummm..... "interesting". Sometimes disturbing. Always entertaining.

 

[Blind Squirrel]

My point is that preventative laws don't work and are idiotic.

Let's try something different instead of making more of them.

I'm all ears. What would you do differently?

 

[Blind Squirrel]

It doesn't sound like you have ever read about the problems associated with total government control over everything we see, hear, feel, smell, taste, and touch. I mean seriously, we are talking about hamburgers. Is there no problem that the government can't solve for us? Yes we can!

Until the Libertarian's start winning elections and making policy, sounds like you're SOL Rambone.

 

[A_Brit_In_Indy]

We just got back from Destin FLA and in one of the most popular restaurant/Pub they offered a cannibal burger (raw meat totally uncooked with onions) I did not try one.
Even the French delicacy Steak Tartar is raw shredded steak usually served with French Fries

u mad?

We are all SOL. The regulatory control grid governs us all. Hope you like your burgers well-done.

 

[Hotdoger]

And I was going to say the exact same thing. If you have a problem with the regulations then I invite you to take a history lesson in why we have them. Heck if people have a problem with food regulation then they must clearly have a problem with fire regulations, right? Same concept, but you never hear people complain about the extremely restrictive fire regulations that are enforced by inspections. Maybe its because the history of fire regulations is actually remembered.

I complain about updated fire regulations all the time.

It is always the newest and best thing with them. If a 40 BC extinguisher was what was required and now a K is required, was the 40 BC not good enough to put out a fire?
If a 20# dry ansel system was required , why is an update required to a 20 wet system? Why now is a 30# wet system now required for the same coverage area a 20# was required for before?

The updates have cost me a lot of money and my questrion is always the same: If what you required before is not good enough why did you require me to have it?

I DO like my burgers well done.

My mouth is watering so much that I'm afraid I'm going to short out the laptop.

On my list is Kobe beef served au natural. I've heard that it virtually melts in your mouth.

 

[Naptown]

Know where your meat comes from and that's not an issue. Hell, it's not an issue in most restaurants.

WRONG. Jack in the Box is a good example of a company that thought they had a safe supply.

Let me google that for you

 

[shooter1054]

I know where my meat comes from....the rolling hills of Brown County in Yellow Wood SF. I love venison.

One instance out of how many millions of others? The Jack in the Box instance is really statistically insignificant, in comparison to the rest of the market. It also goes to show that the businesses involved normally react with speed, as do their suppliers and the situation is rectified. Most instances of meat borne pathogens occur with "cheap meat" and come from grocery store "chubs" or mass produced patties. Knowing that a restaurant uses quality meat, and not the most overly processed, low quality product will do more for you than anything.
Shoot, I went to Bub's last night and had a medium rare Elk burger. I will not become ill because of it and neither will any of the other customers that were there ordering elk or beef.

Bold statements. Hey, we have something in common - I love Bub's too!

I think you are missing the entire argument here. If you cook your ground meat (dead cow, elk, deer, etc...) to 160 degrees, it will kill bacterial food borne illnesses like e coli.

If you don't cook it to 160 degrees, you are hoping that the ground meat has been properly processed, properly transported, and properly stored before it is served to you. There is always a strong possibility one of those aforementioned geniuses messed up there duties.

 

[Naptown]

oh yeah, taco bell went on a little e coli bender too. It can happen to anyone - you cannot just trust your source. You have to take steps to prevent that you would serve hundreds or thousands of people something that was infected before it got to you.

You are also cooking out all of the flavour and you end up with a juiceless puck. It's worth the minuscule risk to have it your way. Or you could frequent McDonald's, a company which follows that particular advice. More people don't get sick than do.

Again. Cheap, low quality "meat", (or meat food product). Know what you're buying, and from whom you're buying it and the risk of contracting a food borne illness goes down to virtually nothing.
