    Well this week Health Canada released a warning about eating raw, delicious doughs and batters due to possible E. coli contamination in uncooked flour.

    "Health Canada is reminding Canadians that it is not safe to taste or eat raw dough, batter, or any other product containing uncooked flour, as raw flour can be contaminated with harmful bacteria such as E. coli," their alert says.

    "Do not taste raw dough or batter or any other product containing uncooked flour. Eating a small amount could make you sick."

    E. coli can leave you with stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and headaches. Basically they don't want you sampling the goods until they've been properly cooked.

    And obviously Canadians are being very mature about it.

    Apparently bloody poops aren't a good enough deterrent.
