pigs ingest the parasite from eating "slop" slop consists of leftover table scraps among other things.

the parasite is also ingested when pigs "root" and eat off of the ground.

commercial pigs are fed a pelletized meal passed through a steam extruder and then baked to dry the pellets out.

this is why you dont have to cook commercial pork to damn death in order to be safe.

nc state offers several degree programs geared towards raising, processing and generally providing safe muscle food products



the more you know

now, having taken a food science class on muscle foods and eggs........i cook the shit out of ground beef because o157h7 i no fucking joke.........

o157 is a surface bacteria
its easily killed when you sear a steak

but ground beef is a collection of many many surfaces stirred up and chopped and mixed in on itself

WHO'S HAVING PORK FOR DINNER?

I understand that cooking pork to death is not necessary or tasty... however the idea of rare pork just isn't appetizing to me. perhaps it's lack of experience eating it... maybe it is a mental block from picturing trichinosis, but i enjoy medium-well to well done pork.

when i make bbq i often cook the hell out of it because it breaks down the connective tissue and it is so easy to pull/chop.

so why can't chicken or turkey be eaten undercooked? (medium or medium well)

because poultry are naturally filthy animals...


just like fish

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
