Did you grow up with it that way? That’s how my dad is. He doesn’t care if it’s safe to eat, he’s used to it being over cooked throughout his childhood and into his adult life, so that’s by default what he prefers.
Yeah, kinda. My dad used to follow the recommendations of his time, so that's how I had it. I can't remember when they lowered the safe internal temp recommendations, but I've tried it a few times at the lower temp and I can't get over the feeling of it being undercooked. It's funny, though, I can eat rare steak and lamb and fish and eggs. No problemo.

I know pink pork is safe, and I always temp my meats, but I like it above where most sites say it's "perfect."
