Reject food poisoning, go vegan ๐
Food poisoning is entirely possible to get from improperly cleaned vegetables, and they are frequently sources of e coli outbreaks in the US.
Unfortunately going vegan only protects you from animal product provided foodborne illness.
I have been sick three times from ecoli outbreaks, triggering mass recalls of vegetable produce but never from animal products lol
Reject e-coli, fertilize vegan ๐
MFW I am in a "make vegans look stupid" competition and my opponent is an actual vegan...
Ah yes, because meat is the only place things like that come from... wait...
The CDC currently lists 4 recent E. Coli outbreaks. Three of them are vegetable related. One is raw dairy related, which specifically does NOT use food safe practices like pasteurization to kill bacteria for safety. The product is specifically sold as a raw product with the lack of food safety being some sort of idiotic selling point.
And if we look at things like Salmonella, oh buddy. There's a current outbreak related to cucumbers spanning 15 US states. In just the last couple years there were Salmonella outbreaks from Cantaloupes, Diced Onions, Fresh Basil, Flour, Peanut Butter, and Alfalfa sprouts in addition to the meat and other general animal issues. There were outbreaks related to turtles and geckos, and those aren't even related to eating meat products.
Eating Vegan doesn't magically make bacteria ignore you. And acting like it does just puts yourself and others at risk. I think one thing nearly everyone can agree on is that people that put others at risk, are objective worse individuals than those who don't.
There was an order to stop selling a particular company's ruccola temporarily in my country a few years ago. There are merits to veganism but this isn't one of them.
You're getting downvotes because meat isn't the ONLY way to get food poisoning. But let's be honest, you're living on easy mode when it comes to food poisoning if you don't eat animal products.
Not a vegan, just think people are too easily triggered.
Never
