Sainsbury's to introduce 'touch-free' meat packaging cos' millennial's afraid of touching raw meat

It's predictable as fuck how much they twist shit to attack the young these days.
This was my exact reaction.
Also, we need a term for all the people who incidentally fall within the age range of 'millenials' but who don't exhibit, and are frankly baffled by, all this weird behaviour.
Yep, boring as fuck. Old bastards who fucked their own lives up love it too, "THE YOUNG ARE TO BLAME FOR WHY I'VE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE 1988!"
Definitely the millennials to blame for their weird habits and not their boomer parents/media who raised them.
I've literally never heard of this. For me, it was my Mom who freaked out about raw meat - to the point that she was always worried about red meat, which doesn't even have salmonella. I'm way less paranoid than she ever was.
Anyway, grabbing a huge pack of latex gloves is actually super helpful in the kitchen, not just for this but for any time you're working with a lot of ingredients and don't want to wash your hands over and over. Feels necessary for chopping super spicy peppers if you ask me.

I'm a meat department manager. I handle raw meat all day err' day.
Chicken and pork still gross me out though, if I get it directly on my hands and skin.

Save the environment. I went to an enviromental school, built oven in Gambia planted trees, etc. and this shit makes me boil. Plastic should be reduced not double. People should stop crying about everything. Dont like touching raw food? Dont eat the things you dont like touching if you can and let them be prepared by someone else, but this shit right here is not a solution but a problem in the making. And i am a god Damn millenlial
How chicken bits dry to your hands after a while is pretty gross.
Indeed. I can squeeze any sort of beef all day long and not feel the least bit to up disgusted. Beef blood isn't really that bothersome... But fucking chicken juice is the worst. And pork is slimey.
I'm not scared because I'm competent in the kitchen and know how to make sure both hands and a surface stay clean.
I think the main fear of cooking raw meat comes from lack of education in schools about cookery and basic life skills.
Someone needs to tell these people that the cooking process is designed to kill bacteria. Just wash your hands after handling meat ffs.
I will say that I dislike handling ground beef with my hands when making burgers and the like. The fat just coats your hands and is hard to wash off.

But that is the best part.
I always season my fingers after preparing patties and lick em nicely and clean
Does anyone get irritated under the fingernails when handling raw chicken. I can eat chicken just fine but I think it's an irritant to me.
Also, Sci-Foo question (science-food) Fresh chicken meat has a odor to it and we all know that chicken that has turned (bad) has one of the worst odors. Yet there is a day between those points when the chicken doesn't give off an odor, anyone know why? I suspect competing bacteria.

I have an uncle who used to spray his mouth with Lysol disinfecting spray since he was so afraid of germs. Granted, this was after he went kind of loopy after the multiple strokes, and aneurysms.> a woman said she had 'sprayed her chicken with Dettol first before cooking it
I don't eat much meat at home and I don't mind the handling of raw meat but I always felt like I was not properly sanitizing everything so I never like took meat out of packaging then did anything with it besides put it into a pan or whatever it was being cooked with. Never onto a plate or cutting board or anything.
In my Home Economics class in middle school (do they still have that these days?) around 23-24 years ago, I remember the girls in my group being kind of squeamish about handling some ground beef we were making something with. I just wanted to eat whatever we were making so I went ahead and did that part.
I would prefer to not touch meat. Not because it makes me squeamish but because when cooking I would prefer not to wash my hands every time I have to touch meat.
I would like to state however there are very few instances where I would throw meat directly into the pan without prepping it.

As a Millennial I have developed telekinesis so I don't have to touch raw meat... wait I can handle it just fine because that's cooking.
You like eating meat tho, right? So then you do what you gotta do like anything else. I don't like getting up at 6am every weekday but I like electricity and indoor plumbing so I do what I gotta...
User Warned : Off-topic generalisation based on "gender roles".
you can't deny how 'weak' (psychologically at least) the young seems to be these days though.....like what's up with big grown guys in their 20s shrieking at the sight of a cockroach or a house lizard?
I know gender role is a 'open fluid' concept nowadays but still.......c'mon. They can't handle stress, they can't handle strenuous physical activities. They demand safespace but don't want to create it for themselves. They want to live their life based on what they want to be, not what it is.....such as this 'meat packaging' thing.
(p.s. i am a millennial as well by the article definition)
Oh I cook meat every night. Fish, pork, beef, chicken it doesn't matter to me. I also love cooking but it can be a pain if you don't organize well.
That's the only thing I could think of. But even for tacos I usually get a cheap pork shoulder, because I find ground beef to be twice the price generally. Ground beef is easier, but it costs more and tastes worse in a good taco
That would be for the best since most foodborn illnesses are caused by the staff
I'm 23, see none of the shit you just said. There are dudes of every age scared of shit, it isn't a bad thing. I see far more young people at the gym than old people and the people going to the gym starting younger and younger.
Stress is actually one of the biggest killers in the world these days.

Aha I guess we've had "millenial friendly" packaging here for a long time then. It's really rare to have invidually packed meat inside another packaging. I remember seeing something, but great majority of our meat is "touch free" already.
This is bollocks - supermarkets need to be working to reduce the amounts of all types of packaging.
The amount of plastic that ends up in my bin after a big shop is ridiculous. I've taken to standing at the big bins at the end of the tills in ALDI and trying to throw as much as possible away before I even get home.

You don't need a word for it. If you're a millenial, you're a millenial. Sorry.
You can just say "I ain't like that" and move on. No one is actively lumping you in with the "peculiar" types.
You're called marks for falling into the trap of targeted clickbait and poor research. Don't let us stop your chucking and jiving though. Maybe a boomer will pat you on the head and give you a thumbs up.
I do find it curious how this completely meaningless article can spawn such a "millennials amirite!" yet legitimate research pointing out that millennials are the hardest working generation and most educated is usually thrown to the wayside to make way for whatever garbage metric you marks come up with next to shit on your peers. And if we're lucky, we get to hear a couple of your shitty personal anecdotes.
Uh huh. Wow, that really seems to have touched a nerve. All I want is not to be associated with some dimwits who are apprently scared to touch chicken. Chill out.
Edit:
Well unfortunately whatever the word millenial started out life as, it's now mutated into a pejoritive term for cretins who find "adulting" difficult. So yeah you can't simultaneously say I am one, and also that I'm not being lumped in with these people. Because I am!
I'm the same. Mostly because my friend got pretty terrible food poisoning after handling raw chicken and not washing her hands properly and it made me super paranoid.
I won't go as far as Dettol-ing a chicken, but I do spray every surface the chicken even looked at within an inch of its life.
You wash your hands. You prepare the chicken, then wash your hands again.
I'm constantly washing my hands when I'm preparing food, it' almost like there is a nice convenient sink in the kitchen.
I can already see the stupid price for this.

Off topic, but it needs to be stated that this is a very well executed use of gifs. We should all hold ourselves to this level of accountability and polish in our posts.
