  • Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.

    So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough. (Edited to add - if you haven’t tried basic homemade pie crust dough you haven’t lived. It’s not sweet, it’s just good.)

    I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.

    If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.

    white is thrown around but its a very imprecisely defined thing.

    The meme isn’t about what kinds of people are called white. It’s about non-white characters being replaced with white characters, and no one uttering a peep. Then a mermaid is re-imagined as black and everyone loses their shit.

    (another possibility is that I am not understanding your point)
