Raw foods are generally out of the question in third world countries. I love raw foods and it kills me not to be able to eat them, but it’s too risky. Fruits that have been peeled are usually safe unless they seem rotten or slimy. I tend not to eat raw foods in countries that have air or water pollution because the food is negatively affected by the climate and water sources where it is grown.
Don’t be peer pressured
into eating or drinking
something that you
think will negatively
affect your health. Don’t
worry about being
impolite, just go with
your gut if it is telling
you not to eat something
It’s better to be safe than
sorry.
Eating meat can be
dangerous depending on
where you are. If there is
a shiny rainbow color on
meat or if it’s slimy DO
NOT eat it. I never order
sushi when I am not near a body of water because there is no way that it can be fresh. Another thing to beware of is when the menu does not specify which meat they are serving. Make sure you ask the waiter to specify what kind of meat they are serving, where it is from, and how fresh it is before ordering. When in doubt, don’t eat it.
