Street Meat

-
This is why I keep getting food poisoning: here is a cart of livers or hearts or something on the sidewalk.  There is non-refridgerated meat everywhere around here. It smells bad. I try to avoid it, but it's all over the sidewalks in carts like this. I can only imagine how far these germs spread.
