Question

A classmate believes that vegetarians who drink raw milk (unpasteurized milk) are the safest eaters with the least chance of having food poisoning. Using your microbiology knowledge, explain whether you agree that a person’s chance of contracting foodborne illnesses decreases with reduced meat intake and increased consumption of unprocessed, unpasteurized milk.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:  Regardless of the amount of meat and milk a person consumes, as well as the intake of vegetables, this will not make a pledge of guarantee that prevents such a person from becoming intoxicated. Since, according to proven scientific studies, poorly washed and undercooked meats, unprocessed milk and improperly washed vegetables are potential sources of diseases transmitted by the intake of these foods that have not been given the right treatment to avoid spread of pathogenic organisms. Food poisoning can occur due to chemical factors that can be classified as synthetic and natural depending on its content in the product to be consumed.
