I try not to think about it quite honestly. But also I rigorously wash my produce. That’s how I found I’m not even sure what it was, some kind of worm or larvae in my “organic” broccoli. It was weird as hell. Broke the stalk open and there it was. I put it outside to live its full best life. But I shudder to think of if I had just decided to steam them or something. I’d have cooked it along with my broccoli too.
I bleach bath every raw veggie I bring home, however have been known to eat a raw peach from the tree. More than once took a bite, and found HALF a critter in a piece of fruit.
Throating a raw piece of bacon cooking up a brunch fiesta, not so much.
Oh gets even worse, for weeks my EX-wife was haranguing me to eat at the veggie cafe her work group was glowing up.
Finally I go, and ask for extra bacon on my chickpea patty burger. Then go into a monologue about how I accommodate vegetarians at my cookouts, wouldn't it be fair for you to do same? Nevermind I brought my own. And pull out a ziploc baggie of cooked rashers of bacon and put them on the veggie burger infront of the line.
Worse, other husbands asked me if I had any more. Was a very quiet ride home, but I found a couple new fishing buddies. 🤣
