Because it's processed in a way that makes it extremely likely to be contaminated

The person I responded to was saying that even if it was raised (and I assume processed) in a way that was fine they still wouldn't eat it.
That's the thing though, even if it's supposedly fine, it's still way more risky than other types of meat and Salmonella is no joke, my girlfriend's ex nearly died of it.
Salmonella (from raw chicken or somewhere else) accounts for way less deaths per year than red meat (cooked or otherwise) I think this is just one of those things people 'feel' weird about rather than have any rational explanation for.
Because it tastes like shit and has bad texture. I've eaten undercooked chichen before. I tossed it because it was horrible, not because of risk of sickness.
Finally, an answer that makes sense. Fair enough.
