>Have you bothered checking the math on your odds of dying if 100 people die against the number of burgers consumed a year?

Dunno about you, but I'd worry about the odds of getting sick as well. 265000 a year is not an insignificant amount of number. Equally important, the reason the numbers are so low to begin with is precisely because of strict restaurant rules and population education. People know not to make a pink burger. If everyone made pink burgers and the numbers were still this low, you'd have a legit argument

​

>Better yet, check the math on how many of those 265,000 infections were caused by burgers, how many of those were definitely because the burger wasn’t cooked enough

100% of them, because e.coli dies with temperature. So all of those burgers were inadequately cooked. The only argument I'll give you is that some of the cases have been because of cross contamination with vegetables, which aren't all necessarily suppose to be cooked. But I'd still point you to my previous argument. Just because no people have died from a nuke in 2022 doesn't mean setting off nukes are fine. The numbers are low precisely because people don't generally eat pink-burgers

Countless people also get sick every day. In the US alone, 265000 people get infected with E.coli every year, and roughly 100 of them dies from it. Yes, you will be fine 99/100 times, but it's not a risk that is in any way shape or form worth it

Not at all. Contaminations like e.coli are on the surface, as explained earlier. You can cook regular steaks rare, because the surface gets the temperature treatment required to make it safe

For the purposes of bacteria, ground and minced is the same; you mix the potentially contaminated surface of the meat in with the rest

You'll be ok 99/100 times indeed. But over the scale of an entire population, that's still a lot of unnecessary illnesses, some of which could be deadly. E. coli is still a thing that affects 265000 people in the US alone yearly, and kills 100

Correct! The inside of a steak isn't where the bacteria lives, it's on the surface. Hence why a medium rare steak is fine, because the surface is cooked. When you mince it, the "surface" becomes mixed in everywhere. So it becomes unsafe to undercook it like a steak would be

The only way to serve rare/raw mince safely, is by removing the surface of a steak, and mincing it yourself. This is how tartare is made

Looks good, but that burger is slightly under cooked. As much as I like rare meat myself, you can't do that with mince (Unless you freshly minced it yourself. In which case, go ahead and eat that shit tartare if you want). Save the pink for your steaks

Does it tho..? Maybe I'm naive, but I fail to see the invasion of privacy from "looked left" or "made a smile".

Every article which talks about privacy forgets the fact that we haven't had any in a long long time. We traded it for convenience
