I really don't know what the answer is but I am always sure to order chicken well well done because it is horribly disgusting if undercooked!

beef and most seafood are safe enough to eat if they have been cooked to 140 F, and this is due to the fact that they contain e.coli. However, most poultry contain salmonilla which cannot be killed until the meat reaches a tempertature of 165 F. Which is why, if you worked in a restaurant, you would find refrigerated uncooked poultry always lies below the uncooked beef, seafood, etc. And likewise, all cooked meat would sit above that on another shelf.

This is what happens when you work in a restaurant. Some of the rules actually stick in your mind, along with the reasons behind them.

They are all recomended to be fully cooked. If you notice on most resturant menu's there is a disclaimer for food poinsoning if you order your meat anything less than well done. It is just a matter of what you like.. no meat or egg is safe under cooked!

Some animals contain e. coli or salmonella in their intestinal tracts or in their feces and blood.

At the moment of slaughter, this may come out and infect the meat. Slaughterhouses do their best to keep clean facilities so there is no recall. They also do their best not to allow the meat to get dirty.

However, it is in the blood of many of these animals. In order to kill the e.coli or the salmonella the meat must be cooked to a certain temperature. This is true for all poultry and beef. I believe it is 160 degrees.

Because of the density of the meat itself this means that some meat must be cooked thouroughly before it reaches 160 degrees inside. Others will reach 160 degrees and still be rare on the inside.

Pork must be thouroughly cooked because if it is not then you end up with worms.

All poultry must be cooked thouroughly because of the e. coli salmonella problem.

Beef has to be cooked to a certain degree (160) in order to be safe to eat.

Salmon is cooked through but the meat is pink whether it is cooked or raw.

Cod must be cooked thouroughly because of worms.

Now that you know more than you ever wanted to know about your protein resources, please keep in mind that your body needs two servings of protein a day for a healthy diet.

For all it’s worth…I’ve been eating raw meat my entire life and never been sickened by it for even a day! Now Foul on the other hand…well, look at the word…foul!
Many cultures of the world consume raw red meat and the more natural (organic) it is, the far better I believe it may be for you to consume in any way.
I do not make an everyday practice of eating flesh harvested meat any longer and stick with fish and veg., but I am never adverse to eating some raw meat every once in a while. Carpaccio or call it what you may depending on your culture (mine is German and we eat raw ground sirloin with raw egg, onion and spices)! Eat up if that’s what you like!
Live a little! Life’s short! Enjoy!
P.S. Salmon is eaten raw too, hence sushi or sashimi! Foul on the other hand…once again…foul! And as far as "which meat is which"…well if you don’t know then don’t eat meat at all! They’re not remotely alike!

A big clue is in what the animals eat. Beef cattle eat plant materials; a few ants in the grass don’t count. Pigs are happy to eat meat; given the wrong chance, they will eat a farmer. Natural chickens eat grasshoppers and other things that have lots of contact with the ground.
A second clue is size. Small animals like chickens, rabbits, and squirrels have thinner skin and more skin area per pound of meat. This makes their hides a better harbor for parasites, and it makes them hard to skin in a sanitary fashion.
Fish (and the fish they eat) don’t sleep on the ground, and they are hatched wearing a wrapper that is more hygienic.

To start Chicken have parasites in their blood which are like poision to humans but steak can be bloody because nothing in their blood (should) poision you, the same thing with samon. So birds as in ducks, chickens, etc. should be fully cook. Beef and salmon along with others can be partially raw.

Just like everyone else agrees on, ground meat is more vulnerable to contamination.

I only eat meat that is fully cooked, pork especially has parasite worm eggs, and they can hatch inside you if you don’t cook it thoroughly.

Check out this video and you may never eat Pork again!
