From the “cinnamon challenge” to the “chubby bunny challenge,” the Internet has seen many viral trends that spread like wildfire thanks to a combination of boredom, curiosity, and a desire for online fame. Some were even conceived for a great cause, such as the “ice bucket challenge,” born as an initiative to encourage donations for ALS research.
Still, not everything seen online should be reproduced. A Florida man named John has recently inspired jaw-dropping reactions online after announcing that he would embark on a challenge to eat raw chicken every day until he “gets a tummy ache.”
John is a seasoned veteran in the field of consuming raw food—and receiving online criticism for his questionable diet. As an ex-vegan, he recorded himself tasting uncooked meat two years ago on a series of YouTube videos titled “Eating raw meat at Whole Foods every day till I die from bacteria.”
