"Although a well-prepared meal may be an unalloyed pleasure, the act of eating is one of the most dangerous things many of us do every day. Ingesting bits and pieces of the outside world provides a free pass to the bloodstream for whatever lurks within. Microorganisms and toxins are pervasive--benign or not, they are almost always present at some level in the food we eat."
