Lean cuts of pork (loin, tenderloin) are good when they're not

I seem to recall Michael won't eat meat with even a hint of pink

That's a shame. Some meats need to be thoroughly cooked. Some are a
better when a little pink side, and some are far better rare or medium
rare.  I prefer beef and lamb to be medium rare. IMO a steak cooked
past
medium is a waste of good meat.

It's a
mental block that I've struggled to get over.  I'm not much for red
meat
either way, so when I eat beef, it's likely to be a pot roast or stew.
Jenni likes medium cooked steaks, but she usually makes those
herself in
cast iron to her preference.

There you go generalizing again.  "Americans" like things cooked lots of

I wasn't talking about "meats." I was talking about pork. Americans up
to the boomers and beyond were taught that pork needed to be cooked
fully in order to make it safe from parasites. It's the reason why
people cook pork chops for 40 minutes or more. Rare pork was considered
to be unsafe.

DUH.  I already mentioned that.  Did you even bother to read it?

 Duh. I said that Americans like their pork well done. Rare pork used to
be considered unsafe.

Yeah, and that was discussed earlier but you ignored it.  I'm not the one making sweeping generalizations.  "Americans" don't like their pork well done.

 My guess is you're the kind of gal that always had her food prepared for
her.

You'd be guessing wrong.  As usual.   learned how to cook when I was a teenager.  If you want to count rice, I learned to cook that on the stove when we were living in Bangkok when I was 9 years old.  Didn't need a rice cooker.  You're the one who often posts links to pics of restaurant food.  When did *you* learn how to cook rather than being waited on and served?
