Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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.
A little information is a dangerous thing, it seems
