Hey Brad, you don't have to worry too much about trichinosis. It's extremely rare in commercially produced pork in the United States. There are generally only a couple of cases annually and they are almost always the result of someone eating undercooked bear or other game.
My wife used to write for a company that specializes in food and farm safety products and as a result of that job learned a lot about foodbourne pathogens. She is extremely cautious about proper food handling, safe temperatures, etc., but she has virtually no worry about trichinosis. That's not to say there aren't other pathogens in pork, just that trich usually isn't one of them. It's actually pretty safe to eat pork that you might consider medium as opposed to the usual well-done. Of course the USDA and CDC recommend cooking pork to a higher temp because there is still a technical risk. Also, people raising pigs at home might have animals that are more likely to have trichinosis.
This has been Kerned's Food Safety Minute. Thanks for listening.

Haven't they bred pork in a way that can be safely eaten raw?
Yup. The other pathogens that you might find in commercially raised pork are the same sorts of things you would find in any meat that goes through the slaughterhouse/packing process. Those microbes are always on the outside of meat, not in the muscle fibers (except for salmonella in birds). That's why you can safely eat extremely rare beef, searing the outside is enough to kill things like e coli. If you were to trim away the outer parts of pork, there is no reason to think it wouldn't be safe to eat raw.
Don't worry guys, Brad is too COOL to narc, isn't that right SHOEMAKER???
I want this, but they need a super up close, slow motion, 4K camera shot of his mouth as the food is inserted and chewed, as well as his reaction to the foods.
Welp, we now know what floats Alo81's boat.
Jeff is gonna do DDP Yoga!
If it can literally save the lives of Scott Hall and Jake the Snake, two people who would've been deemed "next wrestler to die" on anyone's list a few years ago, what the hell is Jeff gonna turn into?
GERSTMANN FOR THE HALL OF FAME 2015!

Yeah. It's a requirement for all meats under the FDA, including sushi.

Wait, the package really was from Hamburger Helper/General Mills/whatever?
Don't think so. They must have saw the tweet then watched the entire video to figure out why he mentioned them.
I'm now imagining social media managers all over the world combing through GB content for references to their product.

Eagerly awaiting angry tweets from the distributor of of those haddock chips.
I always saw wrestling as a really extreme soap opera with only a little more violence. Unless anime is that too.

Fhew. If they weren't Team Boneless, I would have to start buying generic HH, and they have way less variety.

Oh shit
Someone needs to tweet that over to either Betty Crocker's Complete meals or Banquet Homestyle Bakes to start some boxed dinner twitter beef that hopefully will evolve into future emails.
I like sour cream.
But who the fuck puts sour cream in mac & cheese? I probably wouldnt want it either.
Holy shit, this works on so many levels:
"Brands stalking high-follower accounts for mentions"
"Are you following hamburger helper?"
"We can all do with a bit more accountability for internet bullshit"
Ryan was a prophet.
Let them worry about that, I feel like Dan is a rabbit hole we've only just began exploring. His oddities are going to keep delivering.

Wow, Vinny played The Fall. I finished it a few weeks ago. IT IS REALLY GOOD. I wrote a review on Steam, here's a link if you're interested: http://steamcommunity.com/id/hi-fi_famicom/recommended/

May the Schwartz be with you
Reminds me of my old WWF comics from when I was a kid. Still have a few of them
I know. doesnt mean i want it in my mac and cheese.
Freaked me out in my teens. I can accept its in things but i kinda dont wanna know about it if it is.
Being somewhat of a picky eater myself, its not fun. SO i know where Dan's coming from. Id love to be able to like how everything tastes, but wanting to take the safe route is a real, valid choice alot of the time.

Sour cream is absolutely disgusting beyond sour cream and onion potato chips.

Is a parody/redraw of Naruto.
Sour cream mashed potatoes. Dan's mom probably added it in the mac cause it generally adds a subtle tangy flavor. Embrace it.
And like all parodies of Naruto, it's better than the source material by miles.

I hear that if you eat a brain, you go crazy or something.
