I suspect that in practice, decreasing the culture of meat consumption would have more of an impact on the emergence of zoonotic diseases than increasing the culture of food safety.

In particular, zoonotic influenza spreads by contact with infected farmed animals, not by insufficient cooking, and E. coli spreads by animal farming contaminating plants that don't normally call for cooking.

Plus, cooking doesn't kill prions, and prions are horrifying.
