I think the worry isn’t food poisoning or parasites, it’s cancer from the latest imported beef.
Or maybe mad-cow. I just remember it was somehow worse than explosive diarrhea.

So, the effects are rare. But China turned away beef that tested positive. Then the US government announced a mystery-origin meat to help lower prices. Maybe it was a false positive and a coincidence on the trade deal timing.
But I remember when mad cow disease was a concern. It was rare too. But also not a good way to die.
I feel like we are living the hypothetical, “if a bowl of skittles has up to 1% of them poisoned, do you eat them because your odds are decent?”
If I was only going to vomit a couple times, maybe if I’m hungry enough. If I’ll die an agonizing death from a poisoned skittle, then no, I’ll ty to find something else.
I haven’t had meat since I heard the laws were relaxed.
Haven’t had a hard time at all. Beans, seitan, impossible meat. It’s all delicious!
Never going back.
My daughter started calling Seitan “wheat meat”, and that’s its name now.
You’re right that’s a one way road 😂 It’s forever wheat meat to us now too
I wouldn’t be surprised if beans are the next thing in their list of stuff to ruin.

Sadly, it’s more common to get food-borne illness from (uncooked) produce than from meat.

Was it not metal contamination? The cows had screws and worms in them or something.
Screw worm is a parasitic blowfly that eats by burrowing into living mammal flesh.
