Wikipedia:

>Unlike many other forms of livestock, pigs are omnivorous scavengers, eating virtually anything they come across, including carrion and refuse.

Hence tapeworms and why people don't order their pork chops rare.

But cattle also have tapeworms: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taenia_saginata

Yet we do eat beef rare.

Feel free to order your pork chops rare. There's no trichinosis in restaurant pork, hasn't been for two generations. These old stories die hard.
