I think we've all been there. You're walking around New York, or perhaps riding the subway, and you're feeling a bit peckish. Unfortunately you're a good five minutes from the nearest "Original" Ray's Pizza, so you start looking for more ...immediate options. Since the big apple is a veritable wonderland of weird stuff lying around on the sidewalks and floors there's a good chance that you can spot some tasty looking mucus or feces.
But wait! NY1’s Errol Louis has a warning for you! No matter how tempting your newly-discovered treat may be, you should NOT eat it!
Here he is to explain:
Thank God he's here to tell us these things.
While the rest of us - apparently - roam the streets, eating whatever bloody mess we manage to scrape up off the pavement, Errol Louis is thinking. He's come to the conclusion that eating random bits of "strange mucus and feces" is not the best idea. That's wise, wise, advice, and it's why he gets the big bucks.
Heck, I'd be willing to go one step further. Maybe - and I know this may seem extreme - you shouldn't eat any feces or mucus, strange or otherwise.
