That\\\'s the kinda attitude that I subscribe too. No doubt I enjoy my chicken as much as you do, if not more. Wont give a second thought abt eating roadside stuff, if its well made(including vadapao - my companion thru the years). And as you said, if its cooked, it wont harm you. The fear is validated for ppl who live in a foul(no pun intended) environment, or when you are buying chicken, or cooking it. No harm in being careful. Ofcourz no smartness in being shit scared of it either.
Till the virus reaches our borders, we should eat em all, I say, the chicken I mean.
hey man appriciate ur debate on having chiken(splyy the cutting stuff in mumbai..n i completly agree with u on this its the one of the most hygenic drink we can have..faar better that pepsi n coke....), but remember u've spoken lot about india n their indianess(casual/bindass..)approach...to just let u know there's nothing of casual/formal stuff..its a question of life n death....here u have the choice betn chicken n life.., i totally buy ur point of not getting infected by bird flu when its cooked @70 degree..but my dearfriend u never know......when ur badluck can be kharab ...n this (bird flu.....)an be a reason for ur trip to heaven/hell...........!!!!!
I have enjoyed all my vegetarian dishes as much as you have enjoyed chicken.
Food, like music and literature is abundant and the variety is astounding. If one has not heard or enjoyed western pop music, one has not missed much in life, if instead he has enjoyed classical music or some other form of music.
Some of us may not have read and enjoyed Shakespeare but instead we have read and enjoyed Kalidas. The variety of foods that are vegetarian is so great that it is impossible to eat all the vegeterian dishes possible in one's lifetime.
To each his own.
Please continue to eat chicken if you like it.
Bird flu or no bird flu, I will continue to avoid chicken and all non-vegetarian food because I am brought up that way and see no reason to change my food habits.
But if there is a major outbreak of a disease that affects potatoes, I will be prudent and avoid eating potatoes till it becomes safe to do so.
Likewise you will be prudent if you avoid chicken for a month till the threat of contamination dies down.
Is the momentary pleasure you get biting into the flesh of the bird worth the risk?

The persons eating vegitarian only will not have the independance of eating anything, they will always suffer because they can only consume veg foods, which according to me is provided in good quality only in certain restuarants that too at high prices....
a man who loves every type of food available on earth
