Whether correctly or not, Americans in urban areas tend to grow up with the impression that raw food is dangerous, and that even something like eggs sunny-side up, or rare steak, can be life-threatening.
In part, I think this is a way to let American food industry off the hook for their lax cleanliness and safety procedures. In part, I think this is part of the deliberate campaign to make Americans scared of basic food stuffs, and to make them forget what real food tastes like. When a whole generation is raised thinking Chef Boyardee tastes good, they're less likely to learn how to cook for themselves.
That's a typical cover-yer-ass disclaimer to fend off lawsuits. En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
It is preferable (but not for agribusiness) to have more stringent food safety regulations et the level of food production and processing so people can eat things without nuking them out of all flavour.
