1. Sushi

It’s perfectly fine to eat sushi at your favorite Japanese restaurant, but when it comes to buffets, you should most definitely avoid this pick. “I would never eat sushi that contains raw fish,” says Kendra Busalacchi, RDN, a registered dietitian at Sharp HealthCare.

Fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, it is a heart-friendly choice and it also works as an immune booster. However, raw fish shouldn’t be consumed at buffets—it could put you at risk for foodborne illnesses, especially when it is kept out for days. So, if you’re a sushi lover, try making your own sushi at home (this sushi making kit will help you a lot).

  1. This is one of the most ridiculous questions ever. Independence Day is July 4th. Period. Juneteenth is a black holiday only; it has no business even being in the conversation.

    I don’t have dessert at home so if I go to a buffet, I will try about three or four. I think it doesn’t hurt if it is once in a while.

  3. Guess we should put all the buffets out of business by staying home and make all our own food by your standards. You go out to eat as a “treat” to have something you would NOT make or fix at home, or at last have it prepared in a way that is different to what you usually eat. It is a once in a while “treat” to eat out, so you do not have to cook. On those rare times to eat something that is ‘not on the skinny diet’ should be allowed I would think.

  4. Wow, I never knew all these different foods are not good at a buffet, and I can say I have done every one of these no,nos. What an eye opener for me! You are right about going to a buffet when you are low on money. I;ve done that several times with friends. I can say I have never been sick eating from a buffet. I always watch when they bring out fresh dishes. Is that still not safe? I will have to pass this on to my friends. I’m a big sushi eater, but going to a sushi resturant is very expensive where I live. But what I do is go to my grocery store that has people making it and I take ones they have just made.
