Answer 1

To prevent a bacteria borne illness that has the potential to cause diarrhea, vomiting, meningitis, and possible death, food should be warmed up slightly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because hot food makes the digestion process run smoother, nutrients from hot food are more easily absorbed. This makes more nutrients available to the body. Still, some cooked foods actually contain more nutritional content than they do when they are raw.
