Ten Foods You Should Never Really Eat

Sometimes I wonder why I save things on my computer. Here's a little gem I came across while going through my files. I'm not too sure why I saved it, or even where I found it, but the title speaks for itself. I'm assuming the names of the people at the bottom are those who researched this list.

I'm a vegetarian and most of the items on this list wouldn't be an issue for me anyway.


Ten Foods You Should Really Never Eat

1. Raw milk (Salmonella dublin)
2. Raw hamburger (E. coli)
3. Raw roadkill (you never know how long it’s been lying there)
4. Raw shellfish (hepatitis)
5. Organically grown lettuce (Listeria)
6. Polar bear liver (vitamin A poisoning)
7. Live goldfish (it’s cruel)
8. Food from a swollen can (botulism)
9. Home-processed sausage (botulism if prepared without nitrites) and improperly cooked pork (trichinosis)
10. Poorly identified wild mushrooms (mycotoxin)
