Jacob: *holding a roll of cookie dough* unpopular opinion; cookie dough is worth taking the risk of getting salmonella
Seth: Jacob lull yourself together and go get a damn spoon it's cookie dough not a beefy 5 layer burrito
Paul: I'm so confused why would he think cookie dough would give him salmonella? What parent told him this. There's no chicken isn't here!
Leah: two words Paul. Raw. Eggs.
Paul: what kind of world do you live in where raw eggs carry salmonella or are in anyway unsafe?
Leah: don't ask me, ask the doctors. I'm just passing it on.
Emily: *deep breath: though the risk is small, raw eggs can carry salmonella. MORE THREATENINGLY raw wheat can carry E. Coli. However, if you don't mind making your own cookie dough, you can easily make it safely.
Take a standard recipe. Omit the eggs. Eggs serve as a binding agent to hold the cookie together. Since we are eating the dough raw, that's not needed. Take the flour put it in a pan and bake it at 350 for 7 minutes. Any E. Coli is now dead.
Sam: thanks so much for this wisdom
Quil: wait you're telling me I can get E. Coli just FROM EATING FLOUR straight from the bag??
Jared: why are you eating flour straight from the bag Quil?!
