 Is a fact. That the probability is low if you source the food from top notch farmers is another thing

 Being a top notch farmer, whatever that even means, doesn't just magically stop all microorganisms from existing.

 Why would you want to kill all the microorganisms in your food? Do you drink purell to get rid of all your gut microbiome? 

If you’re gonna drink water from a dirty pond then it makes sense to boil it first. Water from a glacier is probably fine to drink as is.

Same applies to food. If it’s low quality and dirty then cook it. If it’s of great quality and pristine then it’s fine to eat raw.

It’s not rocket science. Just common sense

 no but it does very likely mean that food from them is gonna hurt 99% of ppl. Although today with all the allergies fake and real being on the rise in USA i can't really say that with the same confidence as I can in my own little EU country
