Just like most yummy sugary things, taste is good but wreaks havoc on my no longer 15 year old body :P0

Pork. Absolutely disgusting and unhealthy. I don’t care what anyone says. I work in healthcare and see people regularly with cysticercosis and rarely with tapeworms. It smells awful and is a horrible food. Poison even.0

Poor pork gettin' the shaft for the misdeeds of the tapeworm. All the pork wanted was to be cooked properly, but noooooo, people be thinkin' they can treat pork like red meat and not like chicken. Poor pork just wants to be handled properly like any food product, as even plant products can contain harmful bacteria if not stored or prepared properly. Heck, eating the wrong part of rhubarb is poisonous, but people just loooove rhubarb. And that's inherent in the rhubarb. Pork just be sitting here being like "sometimes I've got tapeworm" and rhubarb leave's are sittin' here all like "this stuff is always in me, betta watch out".

IDGAF how well you have to cook the meat. Still gross AF knowing that that piece of meat or any food can give you tapeworms or make you sick. @nooshi713 I don’t blame you.1

Agreed. It is not even tasty though. I value my health and won’t eat that crap.

Do you...not eat? If everything's gross? I've heard of breatharians. Pretty fascinating bunch. Get all their nutrition from the sun. They must be plants in disguise. As long as they're not rhubarbs. Or maybe they're ALL rhubarbs because they have to go into hiding so they can poison people with their leaves. I wonder if a breatharians form of cutting calories is applying sunscreen. My Sunscreen Pal. That's an idea worthy of Shark Tank I think.

But what is your opinion on Rhubarb? Additionally, do you think breatharians are actually rhubarb in disguise?2 -

I have no idea what you are talking about. I haven’t tried rhubarb. No food is as toxic as pork though. I stand by that.

Wait, what do you mean by toxic, it has poison in it?
If you mean is the most likely to make you sick, I hope you don't eat chicken either.

Personally, possible worms are less gross to me than the e coli often found on fresh produce. Worms on my food > poop on my food IMHO.
ETA: It's also not uncommon to find little white worms in salmon.6 -

Speaking of Spam. I just bought bologna in a can last week. Curiosity. At the store, I picked it up, set it down and walked away. I came back, looked again, set it down and walked away. Third time, I just put it in my cart. Now I’m a little afraid to try it. Whaddaya think?

I say no. I used to be a canned meat proponent. I was like "get the canned chicken, it's just like tuna!".
Then I got a different brand of canned chicken.
Dear god.
I don't even think my cat could tolerate it, and she loves my normal canned chicken.
Not worth the risk, I say.0 -

Well, I'd bet the canning process killed any worms
Pop it out of the can, slice it up, fry it in a pan, melt some cheese on it, stick it between a couple of pieces of grilled bread, and wash it down with some diet soda <nods>. Or stir fry it with some veggies and sauce.
Then cross it off your bucket list!5 -

I like spam, I put it into the "sausage" category as far as taste/texture, even though it doesn't have a casing. I guess you could say the can is the casing, lol. Must be fried, spam right out of the can is not so good.1 -

I'm not sure what country you are in, but in the U.S., cysticercosis and tapeworms are very uncommon. Domestic livestock does not carry the parasite, so it's really not a worry here. It's much more common in Latin American countries.
Grilled pork chops and roasted pork loin are part of my regular diet and there's nothing risky or unhealthy about it.8 -

I think because of her job it probably ruined it even more for her.

Pork is delicious. And I say that as a long-term vegetarian.
Dangerous? Home canned not-quite-acidic-enough-for-water-bath foods, like some no-vinegar salsas.
Botulism don't play.2 -

For sure, which is why I asked what country she was in. If she regularly sees people with cysticercosis, then she is likely living somewhere where avoiding pork might be advisable.3 -

I live in the US and it is quite common.
