This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Apparently washing your chicken was an old practice to "rinse the germs off". In reality it just sprays germs everywhere. I can't believe anyone thought it was a good idea.
I think it's common where meat is sold in open-air markets. I read an article about the practice last year.
In the days before plastic packaging?
Those things still exist. Heck they might come back in the US once food prices rise and the FDA is disbanded.
It's a leftover practice from days when standards were lower. Just like cooking pork to 165, it's not necessary anymore, but habits die hard
