It's simple, their arguments are based on the absence of germs.

To those who reject Germ Theory, how do you explain food poisoning

Food poisoning is caused by poisoning in the food. Just as stated in the namesake in the title. He clearly does not understand that germ theory, has more to do with viruses then to do with food poisoning, which is caused by toxins caused by bacteria.

Looks like saner replies have surfaced since I originally posted this thread. Making this whole exercise moot.

While the absence of germs may not provide a comprehensive explanation for illnesses, dismissing alternative theories without considering them limits our understanding. Open-mindedness and further research are crucial in exploring all possible causes of diseases.

You aren't really addressing my point there, just repeating your original one. Food poisoning can be caused by bacteria. There's only a small number of bacteria that leave toxins in food... I think it might only be Golden Staph, honestly, but I'm no biologist... As well as any number of other things, like parasites and fungus. The umbrella term is "Food Poisoning". I don't think we differentiate between poisoning and getting sick from the bacterial diseases, if that's what you're doing?

Correct. I am not addressing your point. As it has nothing to do with their misunderstandings over at reddit. Which was the bases of this thread here in /s/MeanwhileOnReddit.

I think it does, as what you're saying is currently understood to be totally incorrect, and I think that's the point the original post was pointing out.
That being said, if you don't want to talk about it, that's cool as well.
