The Food in Your Fridge is Disgusting

Not all of it, of course, but some of it is making you sick. Men's magazine has identified the 10 dirtiest foods that are making you pee out of your bum. The top 5 include:

1. Chicken
In one study cited by Men's Health, more than 40 percent of chicken samples contained bacteria that can sicken, including E. coli.

2. Ground Beef
Simply because of the way ground beef is made through heavy processing, it has the potential to be loaded with deadly E. coli bacteria and more.

3. Ground Turkey
One in four packages of ground turkey tested by Men's Health contained bacteria. This becomes a greater concern as more people substitute ground turkey for ground beef thinking it's a healthier alternative.

4. Oysters
Beware of raw oysters! Many are tainted not only with bacteria, but also the Norovirus.

5. Eggs
The incredible edible egg is also associated with more than 600,000 cases of food poisoning each year and more than 300 deaths. Cook eggs completely and never eat them raw.

I know, none of those foods surprise you, but there was one that caught my eye:

8. Pre-Packaged Tossed Salads
These bagged salads are one of the greatest conveniences of the past decade, but they can also be one of the biggest sources of food poisoning since the contents are often contaminated with E. Coli.

I mention this one because I happen to know quite a few Pre-Packaged salad eaters, and I have seen the inside of their disgusting fridges before.

Listen folks, this is simple, if you see a food in your fridge that is green, and shouldn't be, through the bastard out. I know you might think it's impressive to have a fridge that is abundant with food, but when that food is one step away from a science experiment that has gone terribly wrong, it kinda makes you look like a filthy animal, so do The Mayor a favour and throw that dirty shit away.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some green eggs and ham to eat.
