Another point: They may have started advising against washing meat to cover their butts from lawsuits when it became apparent that their industrial meat is always going to have trouble with pathogens & contamination. (BTW, what idiot turns the faucet on full-force, splattering it all over the kitchen? They think they need to protect us from ourselves?)

Also, aren't they now saying it's just as good to wash your hands in cold water as hot? Right, that's why dishwashers & washing machines use cold water...not! (I know you can select a cold water wash for delicate items). I wonder why they also say to wash meat cutting boards & knives in warm, soapy water?
