Washing your chicken by Gavin Hegenbart https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn en-us 2023-03-29 16:02:54 UTC 2023-05-19 02:11:40 UTC hello@padlet.com This essay will explain why you should not wash your chicken before cooking it. First, let's just cover the basics. There really isn't a reason to wash it because most of the germs and stuff that you might be worried about are already going to disappear by being cooked off in the process of cooking the chicken. So, for one it is a waste of time and water. But now I'm going to talk more about the main reasons and why this can impact you, and the ones around you as well. gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596976805 2023-05-19 01:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596976805 One other solution is to have a short news story stating all of the problems about this and even letting people know to stop. This can help a lot because a LOT of people watch the news and for two, we are helping out our community by making sure everyone is safe. Now that all of the problems are stated and we know how to solve the problems, I think that it is time to take action!! Because I think that if we all come together we can help other people get informed by just simply letting someone know to not wash the chicken if you can see that they are about to wash it. gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596978840 2023-05-19 01:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596978840 One reason why this can be harmful to you and the people around you is because when you wash your chicken some of the water droplets that had just splattered from the chicken might get on your countertops, floor and even on to you if you don't wash your hands well enough. One one way this can go bad if you don't clean your environment like the countertops and floors that the water drops might have infected, then the other people who might live with you may touch those contaminated areas and can spread germs. may even get a disease that is very common to find in raw chicken called, Salmonella. Salmonella is basically a form of food poisoning with the side effects being weakness and lack of energy, headache, high fever, aches and nausea. Even though Salmonella is not deadly and hardly anyone dies from it, it is still something that no one wants to have to go through. Also, it is contagious, and you might not relive that you have it until you have already spent time with your family or friends. Currently most people think that it is a good idea to wash their chicken before they eat it. One way to solve this problem is when grocery stores sell chicken, one of the packages could be a label that has a warning to all the people to not wash it before eating it. This can help a lot of people by teaching them that it can be very dangerous to you and those around you. gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596988732 2023-05-19 02:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596988732 gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596990390 2023-05-19 02:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596990390 gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596991561 2023-05-19 02:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596991561 gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596996297 2023-05-19 02:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596996297 In conclusion, I think that we learned something today, that you shouldn’t wash your chicken because it can affect you and other people around you by the water droplets getting everywhere and contaminating the environment around you. That is why we should STOP washing our chicken before we eat it. gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596997047 2023-05-19 02:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596997047 Sources: Washing chicken 'spreads infection' - BBC News gh49355 https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596998257 2023-05-19 02:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gh49355/fmf3k0r9l5nfzltn/wish/2596998257
