I eat all of those items on a regular basis.

I enjoy them all -- especially the raw oysters and rare beef

"Raw" is my favorite food group. You do have to use some common sense, though - like, don't eat sushi that has been sitting under a heat lamp.

That would be for me only raw vegetables after I wash them.

There are a few things on the list I won't eat but that's a result of my not liking them or having no idea how to even get them.

Raw milk or juice - never heard of such a thing, probably wouldn't even try it if I had heard of it. If by raw juice they're talking about fresh squeezed, I get the bottled stuff they sell at the store - like the Simply Orange or Simply Grapefruit. I don't think those count.

Raw sprouts - don't like them.

Meat that isn't cooked well done - THAT I'll eat. I prefer steaks and burgers rare to medium rare, I cook pork to 145 which is safe, and I really don't eat chicken - unless I'm forced.

Prewashed or precut fruits and vegetables - won't eat them because I don't buy them - too expensive, unless you count canned cut fruit but I haven't had DelMonte fail me yet with my canned pineapple rings so I'm not worried there.

Raw or undercooked eggs - won't eat - don't like them (raw or undercooked, that is. I'll eat them if they're cooked - properly.)

Raw oysters or other raw shellfish - don't like.

I do use prewashed/precut salad mixes a lot. I just don't like buying a head of lettuce at the store and having to wash off clumps of dirt.

Raw eggs, sure, in cookie dough and homemade mayonnaise. Have been eating both for 40+ years without ill effects so I have to say the risk of salmonella must be lower than is generally thought.

I buy prewashed greens once in a while, too.

I eat cookie dough from Coldstone every nite. Ain' killed me yet. After chemotherapy a few years ago sometimes it was the only thing I could eat. I don.t recommend it for everyone though. They took out the raw eggs years ago. They buy it from Sysco, like many other retail food places.
