Is it o.k to eat raw pork ?!


Question: Is it o!.k to eat raw pork !?
Answers:
Decades ago, pigs were fed slops and it was very dangerous to eat raw pork, or you could get trichynosis!. In recent years, since people are more health conscious, the diet of pigs / hogs has become very controlled, and pork is just as safe to eat rare as any other meat!. As long as it isn't a diseased hog, then it's ok (but not that tasty)!. There was a show about this on the Food Network recently; and the trendy way to serve pork now is medium rare!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tx2step has it right again

All meat processed in the US meat industry is inspected and graded by the USDA the process includes the health records of each animal
ranchers are the first to call the veterinary to protect their investment in the animals then there are strict rules to quarantine it 90 days to prevent any medicines to reach human consumer

Why would you want to eat it raw!?!?
Remember 160o to 180o F just may leave the meat pink but it is cooked
and most all sausages are cooked and smoked as well
