Imagine you're making some meatballs. You've got pigs, spices, and a stove.
If you're in Germany, there's no problem -- kill some pigs, grind some pork, mix in the spices, and cook your meatballs. You could make sausages the same way (as long as you've got tubing). And you're free to sample your food as you cook it to make sure it suits your tastes.
If you're in the US, you've got two options:
1. Give up on sausage entirely. Make sure your ground pork is well cooked before you even think of eating any of it.
2. Carefully vet the pigs for trichinosis before introducing their pork into your kitchen.
Unsurprisingly, we use option 1.
Germany, like the rest of Europe, has opted for a blanket solution where they're not allowed to have pigs with trichinosis. The US has opted for a different blanket solution where you can't eat raw pork. Nobody is suggesting that we carefully inspect individual pigs and treat the meat according to whether they had trichinosis.
