Food poisoning is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a narrow category including (edit: corrected spelling) enterotoxin poisoning and bacteria that don't invade the mucosa. To recognize the full impact of foodborne pathogens, you have to include the far more common category of foodborne illness. In the USA, per Wikipedia, foodborne illnesses account for 76 million cases annually, affecting 30% of the population, and causing 325,000 hospitalizations and 5000 deaths each year. Messing with those bugs is like playing Russian Roulette with two cartridges in the cylinder - exceedingly poor odds, to say the least. I haven't eaten chicken in 13 years, because Campylobacter infection causes me 12 hours of vomiting. And since the FDA doesn't regulate chicken, this is coming from Darrell the consumer, not Darrell the former FDA guy.
