Steve Gustafson, program manager for a California county’s Division of Environmental Health, shared some frank words wth the Eureka Reporter about poop:

"Most people like their beef and steaks undercooked. It’s a delicacy. For a whole cut, that may be OK. But, ground meat — beef or poultry — is suspect because it’s been handled. It could have bacteria and must be cooked to safe temperatures to kill the bugs and waste produce. … Eating cooked feces can’t hurt you. That’s our joke and it’s true."

Don’t eat poop. Either keep it out or cook it.
