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!

It's both, regulations during the animals life and cooking. Wild animals have way more parasites than domestic ones.
It's not both tho...
Proper preparation is what works.
Mitigating infection of the animal is a step we do because we know a non zero amount of idiots won't follow food prep regulations.
It lowers the chances, but doesn't make it impossible.
Hell, 100% clean meat can still pick it up between butchering and consumption.
Is it common? No. But it is with people who habitually flaunt food prep regulations.
Regulations cover both. That is what I'm saying, regulations. And regulations both contribute to food safety. I'm not saying that safety during animal life is enough, as you seem to want to suggest. I'm simply covering that regulations cover both, and both contribute to food safety.
If you want to put it another way, we're talking about different things. I'm talking about the entirety of the food and regulation system, both animal and cooking. And you're focusing exclusively on cooking. (I also recognize your username, so I'm out.)
Live animal regulations are like seatbelts, they don't prevent a crash, they just hopefully mitigate injury.
They're there in case someone doesn't prepare it correctly.
But if everyone prepared it correctly, no one would get the parasites.
They're the emergency parachute. It's stupid to not bring one, but if everything goes right it's not necessary.
Then block me so you stop replying and I stop having to reply because misinformation about food safety is a big enough deal I feel obligated.
