No it is not ridiculous.

We had a 20 yo restaurant that went out because of contaminated ground
beef, beef that was contaminated at the plant! This guy put 20 years
into his place and went under because of bad press. He was serving
burgers the way the CUSTOMER ordered them. They got sick because of
poor factory standards and poor government inspectors. I was not the
only place in town that required a waiver for rare and med. rare meat.

You drop a $100,000 or so into a joint and then tell me how stupid a
lil waiver for semi raw meat is.
