This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Washing Chicken Spreads Germs
My source is the CD Fucking C.
Hostile response tone aside, seriously: cooking chicken kills the bacteria. Trying to wash it just splatters disease around your kitchen.
Hear me out, fill bowl with water. Place chicken in bowl. Swirl a bit. Wash chicken. Dump water. No splashy splashy.
Are you dumping the water straight into a black hole?
That's just wasting water and accelerating the water wars! I re-use my chicken water to wash my vegetables, and then my dishes. It's such a first-world mindset to callously single-use water like that!
Onto the neighbor's dog so the stray cats annoy it!
I splurged on my garbage disposal.
If only there was a better way to kill bacteria in food than just washing it.
Fucking lol!
Idk guys. I'm not scrubbing my chicken with bleach to kill bacteria. I just want to rinse off the shit from the factory. "Oh but they wash it!" I don't believe they care enough to do it well. Whatever regulation is set forth by the CDC is kind of irrelevant if there is little enforcement.
Are you eating it raw????
TIL American's don't cook their chicken
No. You don’t wash chicken. Take a paper towel and pat it down, and that’s it. Washing the chicken one way to contaminate your sink, cooking area, and other foods with salmonella. It’s super important to properly cook your chicken to kill any bacteria.
I'm cleaning my sink daily.
And everything within a couple feet of it, too?
Yes, I wipe down counters and stove daily with disinfectant cleaner.
Ok keep doing you and good luck. Hopefully any microdroplets don't land elsewhere.
If you cook the chicken properly, salmonella isn't a concern.
Wouldn't this be eliminated by cooking it
But rinsing chicken under water will do what now?
