Never gotten it all my life despite medium rare burgers and even if it did, Reddit is the last place I’d come to complain 😂

Ohhhh I forgot that if something is a law it must always be for a rational and perfectly good reason! Anyway, the risk is so ridiculously low of getting a serious illness from a non well done burger that I’ll gladly decide for myself lol

Have you bothered checking the math on your odds of dying if 100 people die against the number of burgers consumed a year? 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, and then take that number against the number of burgers consumed a year. You’re worrying over nothing dude. Not only are the odds of dying extremely low (and by that point we can get into other countless more dangerous things), but simply the odds of infection are ridiculously low

Untrue. You absolutely can and the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that you don’t get sick. “Riskier” =/= sure change of getting sick. You really should look up a thing called statistics

Most people are okay with the ridiculously small risk of food borne illness in exchange for a better tasting burger. People like you exaggerate

Yeah you can. How likely do you exactly think you are to get sick from this? People severely overestimate the likelihood of illness from some medium rare/medium ground beef. Absolutely every restaurant will ask you how you want your burger cooked and this would quickly die out as a practice if it was making a substantial impact.

No, you absolutely can do that with mince if you want to and the risk is pretty minimal all things considered. Countless people do it everyday without ever having an issue. Also, color isn’t a 1 to 1 relationship with safe temperature. People will often cook pork to shit just because they think it needs to look ghost white to be safe to eat.
