Oh and actually, the stackexchange debunking is just full of even more flat out nonsense. His link to the USDA actually also says there is no reason to prefer plastic to wood, and his link to the "Canadian Institute of Food Safety" literally advises people against dilute bleach, and tells people to "wipe [wooden cutting boards] down with a solution of vinegar and water". Dilute vinegar doesn't kill anything, and bleach is universally recommended, so this should tell you something about the stackexchange poster's complete and total inability to judge research and the reputability of sources.

All the reasons he gives for wooden boards being worse are literally directly opposite to the truth (plastic gouges more easily because wood self-heals; the absorbent properties of wood is actually a plus that promotes drying and kills bacteria). It is shocking how horribly uninformed that post is.
