Should every food product and ingredient be “Ready To Eat”?

Do you agree or disagree with the statement that all foods should be safe to eat in the form in which they are purchased, even when foods that are intended to be cooked are not cooked properly?  Summarize the arguments on both sides of the issue, then state your opinion and the reasons that led you to your conclusion.  Be sure to include appropriate references that both concur and dissent with your point of view.

Your paper should be 2-3 double-spaced pages and be appropriately referenced.
