I won't eat meat that's not cooked through. When I was in the Army cross training with the Queens 1st Paratroopers in England, I learned that the only raw meat that is safe to eat is the liver. (survival Training)

How to Prevent Foodborne Illness\n\nCongress and federal agencies are examining ways to improve the meat inspection and production systems from farm to table to help reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Collectively, government, consumer groups, and the food industry are expanding food safety education efforts. Yet, even with such improvements, consumers must take the necessary steps to avoid food contamination in the home.\n\nPublic health experts believe unsanitary food preparation practices are major contributors to outbreaks. Errors made in shopping, transporting, storing, preparing, or serving food can enable bacteria to survive and grow. If foods are prepared a day or more before consumption and food handlers are careless, the chance of illness can increase because bacteria have more time to multiply. Following are 12 food-handling tips to help prevent foodborne illness:\n\nDon’t buy cans or glass jars with dents, cracks, or bulging lids.\nNever eat raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs.\nCook raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs thoroughly—to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit—to kill any bacteria present.\nThoroughly reheat leftovers.\nPromptly refrigerate cooked meat and poultry in small, shallow containers. Remove stuffing from chicken and turkey and refrigerate separately.\nRefrigerate perishable food as soon as you get home from the market.\nStore canned goods in a cool dry place for use within a year. Never put them above the stove or in a damp area.\nDon’t thaw food on the counter; bacteria grow quickly at room temperature. Thaw food in the refrigerator or in the microwave just before cooking.\nKeep work areas clean. Wash hands, utensils, and cutting boards in hot soapy water before preparing food and after handling raw meat or poultry.\nUse a plastic or other non-porous cutting board. Wash cutting boards in the dishwasher or in hot soapy water after use.\nKeep pets away from food, cooking and eating surfaces, and equipment. Don’t count on cooking or refrigeration to “fix” a mistake.\nDon’t take chances—if you suspect there’s a problem, throw the food out.\nLikewise, the following FightBAC! safe food handling tips are provided to help consumers prevent foodborne illness in the home.\n\nCLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often\nSEPARATE: Don’t cross-contaminate\nCOOK: Cook to proper temperatures\nCHILL: Refrigerate leftovers promptly

Well, the skin is good and healthy. If you are going to fillet, the skin will fall off of the meat when you cook it and imparts no bad flavor.

If you wash them off in water first, yes they are safe.  Make sure none of them look like they are dying, or have any greenish color to them.  I cannot imagine why you would desire to eat them though, to me that would be completely disgusting.

not at all , its very healthy!   the only time you have to limit  your  ingestion of seafood is when you are pregnant , due to the possibility of mercury, but other than that , enjoy!

they do have calories, but if you eat them raw and without salt then they are safe

Bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella have been found in raw seafood. I've been eating canned tuna for many years. It's great on crackers.\n\n                                                                 HANK

No, you are at no risk at all from Salmonella unless you ate the contaminated food also. Assuming that Salmonella is all the infection they have you should be fine.

I like the white meat. If you cook the turkey right, the white meat will not be dry.\nI just ate my turkey and it was delicious! Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving!

When you cook this meat, the pathogen is getting destroyed by the heat. Besides, you have to take care when you prepare the uncooked meat. It is always preferable to use  gloves.\nI have put in a search engine as key words, usda.gov and chicken flu and I got great information. Do the same...\nThere is also the site of European Union \nwww.eu.int that has interesting and valid information.\nGo under the consumer's section.\n\nKaterina

it all depends on how long ago it expired.  If it has only been a short while(days or a few weeks) it would be fine.  Anything longer and I would throw it away.  Keep in mind it is not because the protein is dangerous to consume, but because the molecules of the protein will begin to break down and become less effective.  The longer you wait the less nutrition you will get from each serving.

I’ve a vegetarian so I’ve eaten my share of tofu based products.  I have a rule though; it can’t try to be something it isn’t.  Last year a person brought a Tofurkey to Thanksgiving dinner and no animal alive would even dare touch it.

# Fresh fruits and vegetable are safe to eat if they’ve been washed well. \n# Meats, steaks, and roasts are usually safe if they have been cut at the store.  Pre-formed, frozen hamburgers are rarely free of MSG. \n# Chicken and turkey are safe only if it is fresh.  Many brand-name chickens and turkeys have been injected with Hydrolyzed Protein.\n# Breads, muffins, and baked items: some of these contain autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, or other hidden MSG.  To be sure, consumers should check with the bakery departments.  Bakery items filled with fruit normally contain MSG.\n# Canned Tuna Fish, Salmon, etc. almost always contain MSG in some form.  Labels must be checked to be certain.\n# Lunchmeats and Cheeses are usually NOT safe.  Almost all lunchmeats contain MSG.  Imported Italian cheeses are safe – others sometimes contain MSG under “whey protein”.\n# Bacon and ham are rarely free of the additive.\n# Basic cereals such as Cheerios or Shreaded Wheat are more likely to be safe.\n# Most common brand-name salad dressings have MSG.  Gourmet dressings are usually ok.\n# Cake mixes almost always contain MSG.\n# Almost all sodas contain natural flavors.\n# Almost all caned or frozen soups have MSG.\n# All yogurt and most cottage cheeses will most likely contain MSG.\n# Most candy and gums contain MSG.

I don't see any logic on that. \nMaybe it is ture,as you say, but it is not true. In certain diseases it is recommended to eat meat.\nLet me tell you also that your Q is very generic.\nFirst, we know that (almost)everything depends on quantity. Do you mean that eating big amounts of red meat will harm yourself?\nThis is true. Consider the pyramide of nutrition and you have prooved that.\nSecond, it depends on age, sex and nutritional requirements on the basis of our job. \nThird, we have to specify that meat quality depends on the quality of food that the animal eats.You can have low fat meat.\n\nFor further information, go to http://www.usda.gov click on the consumer's section and then click on food and nutrition.\nThere is a plan that can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you.\n\nI don't refer to any religious convinctions that prohibit meat consumption or the philosophy which states that life is unique so we can't eat similar species. \n\n\nKaterina

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI have to differ with the people above. For about the first fifteen years of my life, my family was living heavily off of upland game taken by shotguns. This would include rabbit, pheasant, quail, duck, and the occasional deer. All shot with lead and none of it shot with steel or the modern blends.\n\nIt's hard to believe a person could eat game and not notice shot in their mouth while they were chewing the meat. You just spit it out. While preparing the game, you would see the entry points and most of the shot would pass through. \n\nThe concern about lead contamination is generally associated with lead dust. None of us suffered from lead poisoning. We never had to toss meat because of lead contamination. Lead shot is so small, in most instances, it should pass through your body. I doubt you have to worry about a pile of lead accumulating in your tummy. \n\nGame shot with lead shot is safe. The reason waterfowlers have to use "non-toxic" steel shot or bismuth is because of ingestion by bottom feeders which is more an anti-gun campaign than a health issue.\n\nBefore I worried about ingesting game shot by lead, I would be more concerned about all the food at the grocery stores that was steroid enhanced! There is a greater risk of complications from second hand steroid ingestion than game killed by lead shot.

Any food that is raw is an exception. Also it contains good fat not bad fat.  The way that you have been taught to eat by this society is responsible for making obesity (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) the # 1 health problem in the world soon to surpass hunger and infectious disease. So you are a victim of this pandemic (epidemic).\n\nYou need to re-learn how to eat. The site below covers everything you need to know. Make sure to learn all of it. Do this and you can be thin. Do this not and you will remain part of this pandemic. Obesity will keep getting worse while people worry about imaginary pandemics like the bird flu.
