My mom had "never eat raw meat; always cook your meat" drilled into her head so much the first time we went to a "sushi" restaurant she was terrified I might eat raw fish despite them only serving California Rolls and the like.
Meanwhile I only eat salmon raw I like it so much more than when it's cooked.
Will Americans get credit for getting over the "never eat raw meat" taboo in a single generation?
I think people are over it. There are particular things we eat raw: oysters, fish eggs. There are still things like beef that are taboo to eat raw. But fish is old news.
Eating out with vegetarians is impossible at most normal kind of restaurants. They deal with it, I guess.
I have dietary restrictions, now, and I have to deal with mine. Theirs is just worse.
