    Yes, I understand that. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit will kill parasites. But health regulations on farms have essentially eliminated the risk of parasites to begin with, specifically to mitigate the idiots. RFK admitted to eating in a foreign country that doesn’t have the same safety standards. That’s the reason he was infected with parasites.

        The same applies for ground beef as well. It’s the grinding up of the meat that creates a zone for bacteria to infect it. The reason they changed pork to 145 is because they created health regulations that eliminated the risk of parasites and allow them to only cook it to 145.

      No, I don’t know what you think you know about farms, but there is no way to eliminate it from pigs except keeping them inside in a controlled environment.

      A pig will eat literally anything.

      A single mouse or bird getting to close can introduce it. They also love to roll around in their own shit, which can cause it to spread among a population.

      We can take steps at farms like precautionary medications for all pigs, but lots of people don’t want that in their food and it’s expensive.

      If you wait to treat till symptoms, some will be butchered while infected.

      RFK admitted to eating in a foreign country that doesn’t have the same safety standards. That’s the reason he was infected with parasites.

      He’s also racist and whether or not he ate undercooked pork he’s blaming it on a lower income foreign country.

      Dude literally had dead brain worms and was complaining about the mental effects, why are you taking his word as gossipal? In the quote even he says doctors can’t say where he got it, which is obvious.

      He’s guessing it was from Asia.

      If food safety wasnt such a serious issue we’d have been done a while ago. But it’s really important you stop telling people it’s safe to eat raw pork. not follow food prep regulations.

        I never said it was safe to eat raw pork. Stop creating strawmen that have nothing to do with this conversation…

          I confused you with the other person who keeps saying food prep isn’t important in this thread…

          Those are the type of people who are agreeing with you btw.

            Yes, they are agreeing with me because health regulations are responsible for eliminating parasites, not because people overcook pork.

            Seriously, take your own advice. Stop talking about food safety. You are not an authority, so stop acting like one.
