  • I think we’re talking about slightly different things.

    What I’m saying is that there’s a practical reason why people don’t eat raw chicken, to do with the risk to their health.

    In my experience people don’t make steak tartare at home AT ALL because of the risk of food poisoning, let alone eating raw chicken. We eat cooked meat often because it’s easy to store it and prepare it safely. Raising chickens in a more sanitary way is obviously better regardless of whether you’re then going to eat the meat raw or not, but I don’t think it would be enough on its own to make raw chicken safe enough for people to eat safely, you’d also have to change the supply chain and maybe train chefs preparing the food to keep it safe.

    As things stand I’m not completely opposed to eating raw chicken and might try it in a controlled setting but I’d never eat it at home.

    Interesting related side note: after the UK left the EU there was a big debate about whether we would accept chlorine washed chicken imported from the US (answer: hell no). Food poisoning from chicken is way more common in the US than here due to different animal welfare and food preparation standards, but that doesn’t mean I’m cool with routinely eating raw chicken in the UK.

    It’s not really that common to eat steak tartare is it? Bit of a niche thing, I certainly wouldn’t prepare it myself at home.

    Saying “other animals do X so we should be fine doing X” is a daft argument, they have different biochemistry and they don’t kill stuff and leave it in the fridge for a couple of weeks before eating it.

    I don’t know if you’ve ever had bad food poisoning before, but let me tell you it is 100% not worth it.


  • Thanks, I find the names of Ubiquiti’s product lines pretty confusing particularly as they are often used together.

    I have an Edgerouter X, an Edgerouter PoE-5, two UAP-AC-LR (“Ubiquiti UniFi-AC-LR”) access points, and one UAP-AC-MESH (“Ubiquiti UniFi-AC-MESH”) access point.

    The access points came with UniFi firmware, whereas the routers were running EdgeOS. I’m no longer using the PoE-5 and I’ve replaced the firmware on all of the other devices with OpenWrt.
