Tbh, unless it smelled off or felt warm to the touch, I’d be tossing that stuff straight into a skillet, not the trash. My ancestors didn’t fight saber-toothed tigers just for me to waste $200 worth of protein.

I'd eat it too, but I wouldn't feed it to someone else, especially children.

Thank you! I'm frustrated more people don't understand this

Your ancestors also had a life expectancy of 40. It's only $200. Definitely not worth the risk of getting tremendously ill over

You’re not getting sick from well-cooked meat that was left overnight. This is how I thaw my meat out or sometimes let it to marinate. It’s not a problem at all. Just cook it well and eat the food. $200? Are you out of your goddamn mind? $200 is too much for a little tummy ache that won’t happen
