The internet is freaking out over this gross 'medium rare' chicken recipe

The world is a dark and terrifying place sometimes.

The newest #cleaneating fad is here and it's...salmonella?

It is according to Australian Facebook user Morgan Jane Gibbs it is. She posted a photo of her raw chicken "recipe" to Facebook last week, and it's fair to say people had some thoughts about it.

Read it and weep.

Gibbs' tongue-in-cheek responses to comments on the post make it pretty apparent that her recipe wasn't meant to be a serious serving suggestion. 

When warned that her #healthy meal was just a big ole dose of salmonella, Gibbs replied "its [sic] chicken not salmon?"

But despite her obvious trolling, some people on the internet have fallen for Gibbs' gag hook line and sinker, and are busily expressing their disgust.

Social media copycats have even picked up the post and are now spreading it far and wide, meaning it's becoming difficult to avoid the sight of raw chicken on your timeline.

Okay. That's today's quota of "raw chicken" content sorted, isn't it? Eww.
