I love how this is a thread from two thousand and bloody five.

eta: in case it wasn't clear, I don't actually love that.

 

[Kanda]

Moody fucker

SInce this is a serious 'days gone by' thread it seems only appropriate to mention I think i am still traumatised by a ferry journey years back where I spent the entire night emptying my body in every way after some dodgy seafood in Brittany the night before. Jesus. Never had owt like that from meat, caveman points +1

I love how no one has picked up on the reply saying that pigs carry trichmanosis lol it is an std, pigs carry trichinosis!

Were you searching for pig std's?

 

[DaveCinzano]

In a way, we are all searching for pig STDs.

Has anyone seen the movie "Fast Food Nation" which exposes the slaughterhouse practices of employing illegal Mexicans in the Colorado meat packing plants with very little experience or skill in the gutting process ,leaving about 78% of the beef with fecal bateria from the cows. Completely cooking the beef does destroy the bacteria but I wouldn't trust eating rare cooked beef after seeing that movie. In fact, I will probably not eat any fastfood hamburgers or filet mignon for along time to come. I don't relish eating sh*t burgers.

Why not just look at a few of the many previous threads discussing/referencing both the book and the film for your answer?

Reviving a thread from 2005 not good enough for you?

There are ten whole pages of results for "Fast Food Nation" - So no, its not like that poster didn't have their pick of more appropriate threads!

Well if they're going to make their first post somewhere, they might as well make it on a current one.

 

[pogofish]

And if it is their first post, the posting conditions they just agreed to must be very fresh in their mind, no?

I don't know if posting conditions are made that clear when first signing up. How does it work on these new boards then?

 

[pogofish]

They are and a new member makes a clear and unequivocal agreement to having read them.

BTW - Welcome to Urban smartalec44!

 

[cesare]

I bet it's just a check box or some such rather than being directed straight to the FAQs with an accept/decline terms. And anyway, they'd would have had more stick for bumping a really old thread with their first post than just adding a post to one that had already been bumped. I think you're being a bit mean.

There's no winning with you. Start an already discussed topic - you moan. Resurrect an already discussed topic - you moan that it isn't the right one to be bumped.

Actually many cavemen would have foraged along the sea shore and seafood would have been an important component of their diet.

 

[The Octagon]

I've often wondered Pogo, what do you get out of this (informing of repeated threads)? Has it already been discussed in a past thread?

I daren't start a new one in case

 

[stuff_it]

is rarish lamb ok? I've always thought it is.....?

Where did BSE come from?

 

[pogofish]

Has it already been discussed in a past thread?

A few, yes.

 

[smartalec44]

I am sorry for breathing. I just watched "Fast Food Nation,2006" googling the subject matter and this thread came up. I have never been on an75.net/forums and didn't know that I had to research every freakin thread on here to see whether there was a more current thread or not. Go back to eating your mad cow disease burgers.

 

[smartalec44]

@Pogofish Why are you viewing and posting on an old 11-18-2011 thread anyway? I must have been generically googling about fecal bacteria in beef and not specifically about Fast Food Nation.

Because it's something that irks him so he has become annoying and repetitive to get revenge. He's been here too long (like most of us) has too much time on his hands (ditto) has read everything that can possibly ever be known on every subject matter and so busies himself policing how everyone else conducts themselves. Actually, I share his view that on some subjexts one thread containing all the info is preferable to ten million you have to source but that isn't without problems either. Some people don't realise it's been bumped and so start debating with posters who no longer post (and in at least one case the poster had since died) and then you get the people who start posting up zombie resurrection thread images, the moaners who are the polar opposite of pogo, as it were.

Welcome smartalec, have a hobnob. AFAK it's pretty hard to get food poisoning off a hobnob.

Where did BSE come from?

It's what makes us human; the willingness to eat stuff that might kill us.

Fugu

I think I'd prefer death by poison fish than slowly losing my mind after eating prion-laden beef, mind you.

That's not what I meant, I was pointing out that the prions originally came from feeding sheep to cattle, they are full of diseases (not that cooking deals with prions).

It's scrapie in sheep, innit.
