    Yep, my grandmother went through the Great Depression and didn’t eat pork unless it was well done. For example, bacon had to be crispy.

    Turns out trichinosis can kill children, and not silently in their sleep.

    These days, commercial pork is highly regulated and safer to the point you only have to be cautious with smaller ranches.

    Unpasteurized milk has a similar story, but my grandmother swore drinking that as a child was why she never had osteoporosis.

    Me? It’s 2024, most food lacks nutritional value, so I cook everything to temp and take supplements

    As with most legal matters, it depends: https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/index.html

    Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. This does not mean, however, that all nonprofit education and noncommercial uses are fair and all commercial uses are not fair; instead, courts will balance the purpose and character of the use against the other factors below. Additionally, “transformative” uses are more likely to be considered fair. Transformative uses are those that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work. Nature of the copyrighted work: This factor analyzes the degree to which the work that was used relates to copyright’s purpose of encouraging creative expression. Thus, using a more creative or imaginative work (such as a novel, movie, or song) is less likely to support a claim of a fair use than using a factual work (such as a technical article or news item). In addition, use of an unpublished work is less likely to be considered fair.

    I don’t know many schools willing to bother finding out whether the use was fair.
