15 years agao, a friend of mine who grew up on and worked on his family's farm in Rochester until age 35 once told me that 75% of all pork eaters have trichinosis and don't know it. In other words, no problem. That's when I started enjoying my pork medium. :) I don't know the answer, and maybe I don't want to know. I love pork medium.

Here are four paragraphs from what is purportedly an article in Acres USA: "During the 2nd World War, I. G. Farben (the Nazi chemical company responsible for Zyclon B, which was allegedly used to gas the Jews in the Holocaust and who used the inmates of Auschwitz as slave labor and as guinea pigs for testing of chemicals)developed a fluorinated nerve gas known as Sarin which was also used by the Iraqis during the Gulf Was. This is an organophosphate compound which is very similar to that used by farmers in low concentrations to spray crops and dip sheep to prevent tick infestation, but it is used in much higher concentrations to treat cattle against warble-fly infestation." "In the 1980's, the MAFF began a war against the warble fly and imposed a mode of treatment upon Britain's farmers. This was that twice a year a preparation of OP concentrate be poured over the backs of all cattle. ...... The OP kills the warble fly by attacking the nervous system. The reported cases of BSE have been in the areas of warble-fly infestation." "Several inconsistencies have been conveniently overlooked by the experts investigating this case: 1st that no organic farmer (those not using chemicals such as pesticides) has had a case of BSE despite using the same meat/bone meal feeds as everyone else, and 2nd, that despite virtually the whole of Europe using these same feeds, there have been very few cases of BSE on the continent. So it can hardly be the Scrapie-contaminated feed, can it?" "The Government has clearly been using the BSE crisis in Britain to achieve a political agenda. In Britain, the PM is seen as the savior of the British beef industry, whilst on the continent he has created a situation of alienation of Britain in the so-called "beef war", which could well develop into a swell of public opinion for further integration into Europe in order to reap the financial benefits of compensation for the crisis. Thousands of cattle have been slaughtered at a cost of millions of pounds (all profit for the world bankers) and GDP figures have benefited enormously. Meanwhile, the true cause of CJD is kept well hidden."
