Answers:
first not all sushi is raw!. The fish that is used for uncooked sushi like sashimi is a sushi grade!. It is handled and prepared a special way in order to keep bacteria low!. Its no different then eating a rare steak or rare Tuna!. As long as it is fresh and kept cool it is OK!. It is more risk to eat uncooked items but no more dangerous then if that piece of chicken you are eating is undercooked!. Whats the attraction to sushi!? I can only say why I like it!. Some is better then others and the rest is an acquired taste!. It is good but you will never like it if you don't get over the fact that it is what it is!. If you want to try it go for something like a Vegi roll or a California roll that has no raw items!. see if you like it and as you get comfortable try a Philly roll which has a small bit of salmon!. Then if you are still OK!. go for the sashimiWww@FoodAQ@Com

This is the problem that so many people have; what do you mean "how is it ok for your system to eat!?" That statement doesn't really make sense; are you a doctor!? A dietitian!? Do you know how "our system" even works!? Because experts say that not only is sushi safe, but it's very healthy and delicious!. Almost every person in the entire country of Japan eats sushi every, single day and they are among the most healthy people in the world!.

There is no meat that your system can't handle!. You can generally eat a quality cut of beef 100% raw and not get sick in any way!. The only danger to eating raw meats is in bacterias that may be present and killed off in the cooking process!. Pork and chicken present a high risk for these bacterias, but most beefs and almost no fish poses any sort of risk whatsoever!. It's not the raw meat that makes you sick though; it's the bacteria!.

Fresh fish is safe, and clean and healthy!. And, in almost all cases, sushi-grade tuna and salmon actually taste considerably better than their cooked counterparts!. If you can find me someone who got sick eating sushi, it's for no other reason than a cheap, unsanitary place selling it!.

I have personally been eating sushi my whole life!. Not only is it delicious and healthy, but I actually feel better after eating it; never weighed down or heavy, like after eating a large steak or some fried foods!.

Sushi is kind of a gross concept to people in Europe and the United States; but that is a cultural problem, not a nutritional one!. We were all raised with the believe that all meats MUST be cooked!. And this is simply not true!.

While I probably won't change your mind, I hope now that you at least understand why some people eat sushi and that it is not in any way unhealthy or bad for your system!.

The attraction is that it's delicious, nutritious and it's exciting to be an adventurous eater!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's been eaten for over a thousand years in Asia, and well over one hundred on the west coast!. People pound it down these days!. HOW COULD IT NOT BE OKAY TO EAT!? A lot of food is eaten raw!. We're not talking about intestines or poop sacs here, but muscle!. It's GREAT! Try it!. You'll like it!.

And you won't die, either!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In the USA all fish must be flash frozen to kill of certain parasites that exist in some fish (very rare) bacteria can still grow, but eat at a clean place and youll have no problem!. My system likes sushi better than cooked fish!Www@FoodAQ@Com
