[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2001597, member: 711"] Dumed down? I think we are already there. And getting dumber. But I'm a little puzzled at your reaction to accurate information being offered on the tube. Un or undercooked pork is dangerous in ways other meats are not. No one is born knowing that, and (see first paragraph above) many haven't learned it. Trichinosis, which is the special danger, is a worm, and can be deadly. I'll bet the uninformed public (and don't confuse uninformed with stupid) doesn't know that eating undercooked polar bear also includes a high risk of trichinosis. A few arctic explorers learned that the hard way, along with the problem of eating too much polar bear liver--vitamin D poisoning. Again, nobody knows everything. The boob tube occasionally hits a note of truth. And I don't give a $h!t about who Oprah is talking with or not talking with. I do wish she would send me some of the gigantic amount of money she is worth . . . [/QUOTE]
