    It is posted for discussion, and I think it stands unless you have some specific issue with it

    They presented an issue with it, it is misleading. It does not indicate what other avenues of cooking do to food as a fair comparison.

    There are people who advocate for raw-only diets, microwaving aside (they also oppose other heating methods)

    I’m pretty sure none of those raw-only diets tell you to eat raw meat. If they do, that’s stupid. There are also people who advocate that the world is flat, does that mean that they are correct?

    It’s not intended to be inevitable, as there are people who heat with other methods, and even people who consume raw meat (or fermented meat) without issues

    These people put their health at risk by doing so. Again, there are people who do all sorts of things “without issues” until they develop issues. People drink urine “without issues.” Should we all be drinking piss? No, that’s stupid. It is a risk to one’s health to eat raw meat. That’s it. No debate with science about that.

    I certainly disagree with the response here and the downvotes rather than a discussion of the issues but thank you for offering some counter-view argument

    Not all view points merit deep discussion. Are you anti-vax too? I certainly disagree with your insanity proposing people eat raw meat. However, if you want to do that yourself, go ahead. I’ve learned sometimes people want to harm themselves and don’t listen to reason. It’s best to let them do that and hope they don’t spread their misinformation to harm others.

      the world is flat

      That’s another topic, although people have become skeptical about the shape of the earth after realizing certain photos of the earth were “composites” rather than actual pictures:

      These people put their health at risk by doing so

      That is what is being argued by the OP article, that people in contrast put their health at risk by using microwaves

      It is a risk to one’s health to eat raw meat

      They’re saying it is a risk to one’s health to use a microwave to heat food, in contrast

      Not all view points merit deep discussion

      True, although it is unfortunate that some subjects which probably should have deeper discussion, don’t get the discussion needed

      Are you anti-vax too

      Vaccines have many problems; I’m open to vaccines possibly working, but sanitation may be more important (like quarantining and social distancing were used during lockdowns), they may be contaminated with toxic additives, they may be ineffective as recent flu vaccines have been, there are “free” alternatives that people might do like get Vitamin D by getting some sunshine that help prevent disease, there are financial incentives that may get in the way of recommending free alternative remedies, there is the placebo effect which may explain the “effectiveness” of some vaccines, and so on (to name some issues).
