Hmm. Poser you posted it with no comment. Personally I don't think or believe bacteria fly and rinsing a bird doesn't mean using the vegetable sprayer or dripping water all over countertops. Plus, I bet the SME is under 30 and has germophobe leanings.
If anti-washing is bad, whatcha supposed to do with raw vegetables? Seems as tho I recall that Fox lettuce problem with some kind of nasty germ was due to wild pigs peeing on the lettuce and not getting it rinsed off between harvest and table. Plus, I no like aphids in my lettuce, a common occurrence.
And does anyone think field hands South of the border wash their hands after every time they urinate in the fields?
So Poser, where you stand on his? You think she'd taste some of your Vension sausages? (you have any left over?)

I have never really thought much about rinsing meat before reading this article. I always rinse poultry and chicken...never rinse store bought beef or fish.
As for wild game and fish I guess I rinse as I am cleaning them, but can't say I ever give them another rinse upon thawing prior to cooking.
I guess I just rinse what I have always seen other people(probably starting with my parents) rinse.

Does anyone know anyone who has ever gotten ill with whatever that bacteria is that people are always warning you about related to chicken not being well cooked? I think a lot of this is germaphobia gone wild. Just like not stuffing a turkey because bacteria won't be killed during cooking. BTW, my wife cleans up after chicken prep like she was gonna do open heart surgery on the counter top right after dinner. I mean she clorox's the sink. Drives me crazy.

I know a child that got Salmonella from chicken eggs...but no not from the actual meat.
As a side note why does Salmonella sound so delicious? Ebola and Listeria sound scarey as heck but Salmonella sounds like some delicious desert. we gotta rename Salmonella.

As for the rinsing part, I rinse most of the packaged meats I buy to rid it of the slimy packing liquid that builds up. Chicken, pork, etc.
However, Whole Paycheck....er, Whole Foods has some air-chilled chicken that's ready to throw in the skillet. That stuff is REALLY good.

That and a lefty (NPR).
I always rinse my chicken. In the sink. And I cut their little triangular butt part off, and dig out the blood stuck in the cavity. After this, the chicken has less bio-burden and a lower bacteria count. After I put the chicken on to cook I clean up my work area with a fresh batch of Clorox at about 2%. Always use a plastic cutting board.
When I see "NPR" my antenna goes up to max and my filters go to 11. My Mooshell Obama helped them with this bit of advice.
