I would probably kill some anaerobic bacteria. |
|
|
Atomic oxygen is a very efficient biocide. Molecular oxygen (O2) much less so, and would really only affect the stringent anaerobes. |

// only affect the stringent anaerobes// You
shouldn't really have string in your mouth anyway. |

See link. I am not sure how much awareness there is of this stuff in England, but it really works for those recalcitrant pieces of steak / kidney. |

If you had a greyish-white, tough, fibrous steak in the US,
you obviously weren't eating steak in the right place, and
I'd personally call into question the patriotism of whomever
served it to you. |
|
|
Sadly, the majority of chain restaurants these days will not
serve rare steak for fear of food poisoning-related
litigation, but I assure you most assuredly that a True
American Steak is at least 1 1/2" thick, seared dark brown
on the surface but vivid crimson all the way through, and
as tender as the day it was born. |

Those who prefer their steaks 'well done' are delusional,
hopeless individuals who must have had very sad
childhoods. |
|
|
I apologize for the rant, but this is an issue about which I
feel very strongly. |
|
|
Speaking of childhoods, what events developed such a strong set of feelings in you regarding this issue? |
|
|
Being fed large amounts of healthy red beef,
cooked properly rare, and having grown up to become a
(physically) healthy and strong and intelligent, well-
informed patriot who hates to hear of honored guests in
this great land being served overcooked, poor-quality, un-
American steak. It's poor hospitality. |
|
|
Patriotism, not Nationalism. Very important distinction.
Also, not the blind, spoon-fed, frantic flag-waving Sarah
Palin type of so-called 'patriotism', either. |
|
|
As to your question, I have no idea. Most of the steak I eat
is locally grown, but I don't think BGH is as big a deal as
some people are making out of it. |

|
Perhaps I can help out with this one (link). |
