- koheripbal 4y agoNo, even modern farm raised pork is dangerous to eat undercooked.
- smcl 4y agoWeirdly chicken is dangerous to eat undercooked or raw, but there aren't as many cultural taboos against it.
- koheripbal 4y agoBecause it's not as dangerous as eating raw pork. Relatively speaking, raw pork is much more dangerous.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoThe data doesn’t back this up though. More people get sick from chicken.
- kentrado 4y agoWe are not talking about quantity, we are talking about severity. Plus, you can't use modern data for this because modern stock raising methods mitigate a lot of the dangers from pork. The parasites from undercooked pork can be very dangerous.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoWhy wouldn’t we use modern data? We’re not living in the past. Are you talking about trichinosis? I can see that being more problematic than salmonella in historical contexts, but again, it’s highly treatable today and rarely fatal if it isn’t treated. Am I missing some other kind of infection? Edit: Now I see it, you were referring to the past in the parent comment. I’ve confused this thread for another - sorry about that!
- peteradio 4y agoWere chickens present in the cultures 2000 years ago when the taboos developed? Honest question.
- tintedfireglass 4y agoYes, they were. Chickens are one of the oldest domesticated species by humans.
