The fact that there is a 13 minute long video attempting to discourage people from eating putrid or rotten raw meat is one of the reason i weep for humanity...

As soon as you said they were experiencing feelings of euphoria and hallucinations from eating the "high meat", I immediately went "ah, so food poisoning".

There's a reason why we have an aversion to rotting meat - everything from the smell to the appearance to the taste and texture of it, our brains have been evolutionarily conditioned to be revolted by it, because that's what has kept us alive.

I used to work in a lab that did shelf life testing for the FDA. We would literally let food rot and then culture bacteria from it to establish a product shelf life. I remember i used to be able to tell strains of bacteria by the smell of the culture. Its absolutely insane for someone to smell that stench and think it would make a nice snack.

I do some of my own fermentation, specifically jalapenos for making hot sauce. And if I see anything fuzzy or smell anything off, I pitch the whole batch.

NEVER EATING FOOD THAT SMELLS OFF.

Our ancestors knew this, the ones who didn't died quickly.

South Korean here.
We have SPECIALIZED Kimchi fridges to make sure the fermentation doesn't go awry. The whole matter of fermentation is NOT easy. Do not think you can just pull it off without adequate knowledge and experience, folks.

In tropical countries, meat is rinsed off and then rubbed with turmeric, a natural antiseptic. The reason so much tropical food is highly seasoned is because all those spices are there to prevent food poisoning...mustard also inhibits bacterial growth.

There is a reason why we are disgusted by the smell and look of rotting foods, it's to keep us safe. It boggles my mind that people go out of their way to do this

As a chef… I firmly believe EVERYONE MUST take a servsafe food safety class.

How do you even stomach that without immediately throwing up? 🤢 I don't think any high is worth the experience of eating rotten meat, let alone the risk of having eggs laid in your brain...

My estranged mother once served me and my siblings some bad smelling meat because she thought she could ‘cook the bad bacteria out of it’.
I guess she didn’t want it to go to waste.

It was coming out both ends the next day.
I would have been 8 or 9.

For about twenty years after that incident, I couldn’t eat another rissole (I had two that evening and that’s what made me violently ill).

High Meat sounds like something Gordon Ramsay would find in the back room of a restaurant in Kitchen Nightmares.

a while back I legit saw a YouTuber put a calfs brain in a jar and had it just sit out in the sun for a month.

He ate it described smell and taYe kept vouching for it. Literally his next video he is in pain, sick, throwing up all that and he blamed the fact he didn't have it sit long enough.

.
...at this point its natural selection.

A note about dry-aged meat: in addition to what's mentioned, many dry-aged meats do actually involve molding the meat. However, they use thick slabs of meat and dry it out over a very long period. About an inch or more of meat is cut off of the slab before they get a finished product. This allows the mold and other factors to flavor or change the meat, without actually exposing the part you eat to dangerous contaminants. These methods are quite costly though, so are much rarer these days and produce premium products with high price tags.

I remember once finding an ill pigeon on the sidewalk so I scooped him up, brought him home, got him fed and watered and put in a warm, dark place for recovery, then investigated his symptoms a lot more thoroughly and discovered he had E Coli and was too far gone to save. Had to euthanize him to prevent the longer more painful death he would have had otherwise. :( But the scariest part about it is I had found him right next to a neighbor's chicken coop that I know the neighbor's use for eggs and meat. I didn't know what neighbor owned the chickens ( it was kinda located in the cneter of their apartment complex ) so I just left a note on the coop about the E Coli pigeon and within a few days, there was no more chickens there.. Turns out the entire flock had E Coli and thats where the pigeon got it from, because they shared food. While it was unfortunate for the birds, that pigeon ended up saving people from a potential e coli risk especially as eggs are often eaten without being cooked all the way through

me before watching this video: "oh i wonder what kind of recipe it is, is it really that bad?"
me after watching this video: "i don't want to live on this planet anymore"

Working as a microbiologist in a food safety lab I can't begin to tell you how dirty meat can be.
