Is this true? People have been eating rare or medium-rare meat since forever. Maybe it was more a cultural thing in Scandinavia to boil or steam. I certainly know people who order New Zealand grass bed beef steak well done (while the waiter cringes).
On the other hand if you offered me pink chicken I would be revolted.

It's not safe, one thing are the bacteries that you can catch from raw/undercooked meat that was not stored correctly, another thing is the parasites, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinella_spiralis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinella_spiralis
- j7ake 3y agoPeople also used to get tapeworms and other parasites from eating bad meat very frequently. Just because people ate it back then doesn’t mean it’s okay to eat it now. Being free of parasites now is expected but was not back then.
