Homo sapiens have been around for 300,000 years or so. But, as a species, we have much less genetic diversity than one would expect for such a long period of time. Why? One hypothesis is that a genetic "bottleneck" occurred after the Toba supervolcano eruption around 75,000 years ago. According to this hypothesis, the volcano lowered global temperatures so much that the world population fell to just a few thousand people.
The US CDC writes here (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6401a1.htm), that even though the risk for trichinella infection has substantially decreased, "the continued identification of cases related to both pork and nonpork sources indicates that public education about trichinellosis and the dangers of consuming raw or undercooked meat still is needed."
I reject the counter-claim that all pork is fully cooked. Surely a small percentage is not cooked to the requisite temperature. Certainly there are plenty of other food borne illnesses that result from improper handling of food. If there was a risk of trichinosis we would see it. But there's not, so we don't.
I am sorry that this fact challenges your outdated, preconceived, and parochial American notions. If you are worried about food safety, then maybe you should start worrying about raw oysters.
Don't know why this is making me rage so much, lol.
Just because there is low level of trichinosis doesn't mean you go eating undercooked meat. There are still high risks of food poisoning through e. coli and toxoplasmosis, as well as taenia solium.
The "fact" reads like saying there is a low risk of contracting HIV from driving without a seatbelt, so feel free to drive around unsecured.
On a serious note, this quiz needs to be update to use North Macedonia and Eswatini. It is still showing the older names; Macedonia and Swaziland.
