Is pork safe, which pork is safe? The real red herring is not who funded the research (I doubt govt and university funding is sufficient, as long as there's transparency, I have no issue with funding sources coming from across the spectrum) ... the real issue is not who's funding the study, it's how responsible we are at analyzing what it's telling us and what "they" say it's telling us.

Notice there was no mention of MRSA. I think that's a bigger food safety public health issue than trichonosis. Notice too, that the "safety" issue did not get framed broadly enough to include public health issues from the waste lagoons from CAFO farms.
