I think he’s talking about cleaning the meat.
i don’t think they’re new age. I think these stories are written by unemployed PhD students who want to explain certain human behavior. Clarification isn’t a bad thing.
After you “clean the meat” you clean up the area you were using before attempting to prepare/do something else in the area. Some of us use cutting boards for our meats.
This is nothing but a corny don’t contaminate your food psa.
Ayyyyyooooooooooo!!!!!!
PLEASE tell me this muhfucka staged this with some spoiled drumsticks. The way he smelled that tray and said 'uggh.'
That's dat Crakkka shit don't listen to that article bruh. Black folk will ALWAYS wash their chicken first. 
Dem honkies don't know what the fuck they doin with that chicken anyway.

I'm not worried about random bacteria. Heat from cooking should take care of that.
I'm worried about dirt or other contaminants that might have gotten on there due to bad handling. People always go in about bacteria, but never say shit about that.
Yes, in a perfect world, your butcher is clean, and nothing gets in anywhere. But you're telling me that's where we live? I'm going to at least rinse that shit off, and I'll bonus clean whatever I need to afterwards to manage it. But it's getting cleaned some kinda way.

Long thread on this in the past. Old argument/discussion...
Do you wash your steaks before cooking?
I've been cooking steaks since forever and a day and I've never once washed them straight out of the package from the grocery store. I may give it a pat down, and then season with salt and pepper but that's about it. I brought it up cause this girl says she not only washes her steaks, but her...

If I go to your cookout and you put the chicken in the grill without washing it with vinegar or lemon juice, I ain’t eating shit at your house. Nasty motherfucker.

And bust suds when they're done eatin' dinner.
he look uncomfortable as fuck over a grill.We sure do!!!
u can tell he dont know what the fuck he doin.
ole dusty spare tire face ass nigga....
This is not true at all. You can wash anything provided you wash it correctly.
And anyway, I was in reference to jeans worn months or years. Where in there did I say right away? Stop adding shit to what I said.
Vinegar, wine or spirit rinse on all animal protein except burger patties and sausage.
I wash my hands after every time I touch raw animal protein. Bleach and soapy water for all cutting boards and prep utensils.
Don't believe the cacs

You don't have to. It does nothing.
Shit like this is why we are out of sanitizer, soap, vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Cac's don't use this shit on the regular and then decided to hoard everything.
So shitty.
So shitty.
THIS is what I'm talkin bout... fuck bacteria at the nasty ass arab market rats done peed and shitted on the meat, the fuckin rab done dropped it on the floor, handled it with his booger fingers and the middle finger he had up in his nasty ass hairy ass wife.... I wash EVERYTHING!
Some folks just lazy on some out of sight out of mind shit. Nah not me mayne.
Seems just about every opinion on the net says I been doing it wrong all my life and washing grocery store chicken, or any other raw meat for that matter, is DANGEROUS!
Should You Wash Raw Chicken?
Should You Wash Raw Chicken?
Should you wash raw chicken? Many people think so, but Consumer Reports has better advice to keep you safe from food poisoning.www.consumerreports.org
This common practice may be putting you at risk for food poisoning

To wash or not to wash: When it comes to chicken, that is the question many cooks have. One survey report published in the Journal of Food Protection found that 70 percent of people do it.
“People think they have to wash or rinse chicken before they cook it for many reasons—because their mama did it, they think they need to remove slime or blood, or they think it’s safer,” says James E. Rogers, Ph.D., director of food safety and testing at Consumer Reports. “But doing this may actually increase your chances of getting food poisoning.”
Rogers’ assessment was backed up in a recent study from the Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service. Researchers filmed nearly 300 people preparing a meal of chicken thighs and a salad in a test kitchen the same way they did at home and found that those who washed or rinsed the bird were leaving a trail of bacteria around the kitchen. In real life, that's a situation that could make you or others sick.
The study included only people who said they had washed chicken the last time they prepared it. Its main purpose was to test whether sending participants food safety messages before they came to the test kitchen, telling them not to wash chicken, would prevent them from doing so. But as part of the study, the researchers also spiked the chicken with a harmless strain of bacteria that acted like salmonella, then they traced where the bacteria went during the meal prep.
Being told not to wash chicken did stop the majority of people from doing so—only 7 percent of the people who got an email message washed the chicken during the test, compared with 61 percent of those who didn’t get an email.
In those who washed the chicken, 60 percent had bacteria in their sink afterward; 14 percent still had bacteria in the sink after cleaning it. And 26 percent of them transferred bacteria to the salad they were preparing, compared with 20 percent of those who didn’t wash.
The lettuce contamination caused by the people who didn’t wash their chicken probably came from improper handwashing, the researchers said. Just 25 percent of all the people in the study washed their hands every time they should have during meal prep, and only 2 percent did so correctly. The most common mistake was not rubbing their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.
“Not following proper food safety precautions when you’re preparing chicken is risky,” says Rogers. “The chances are high that chicken you buy is contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as salmonella and campylobacter, and I always assume so when I’m prepping it.”
Staying Safe
To stay safe, follow these meal prep steps:
Wash your hands before you start cooking. Use soap and rub your hands for at least 20 seconds—the time it would take you to sing the ABC song in your head—rinse, then dry your hands on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Only 4 percent of the people in this study performed all these steps correctly before they started to prep the meal.
Prep foods you’ll eat raw before prepping raw poultry or meat. If salad greens and other foods you're not going to cook are taken care of first (and removed from the prep area), there’s less chance of contaminating them with harmful bacteria, the USDA says.
Do not wash the chicken. “You won’t remove salmonella or other bacteria that can cause illness if it is there, and, as this study shows, you only increase the risk of contaminating your kitchen or other food you’re preparing,” says Rogers. If there’s anything on the chicken you want to remove, pat it with a damp paper towel and then wash your hands immediately, the USDA advises.
they want us to catch something lol i been doing this my whole life and nothing happened so i am not stopping now.
the reason why you dont get sickness cause yo fatbody used to bacteria. stankass.
you still my unc tho. fat ass nigga
I still can't believe that folks(cacs) have to have a discussion about this...most cacs dont season their food, sooo........
When has water ever been a disinfectant? Washing meat is pointless
I washed chicken until I got to college and majored in biology and realized that it made zero sense.
What's the point of washing off the surface of a piece of meat when the vast majority of bacteria resides INSIDE the meat? Does anyone wash the inside of meat? No. It's literally impossible. Then how does the bacteria get eliminated? By COOKING.
Washing the outside surface of raw meat is pointless, but traditions are difficult to break. If it makes you feel better to do it, then do it, but make sure to disinfect everywhere afterwards.
The only food that you should really be concerned about washing is food that you are going to eat raw. Chicken does not fall into that category.

aggressive
If there is no harmful bacteria on the outside of the bird, as you say,why would you need to disinfect everywhere afterwards?
