We descend from thousands of generations of people who ate meat without the benefit of refrigeration or USDA inspections. Unless you have other health problems already, the meat is fine. (I guess "mad cow disease" is an exception, but that's a really long-term exception.)
Yes I have lived in SE Asia. I never hesitated to eat at the restaurants next door to the meat markets that had never seen refrigeration.
YouTube Barnacle goosling. What you’ll see are small chicks jumping off a cliff and trying to fly with something like a 40-60% survival rate. Those chicks descended from thousands of generations that jumped off cliffs without the benefit of nets. That doesn’t mean that nets wouldn’t dramatically improve their survival rate!
This strikes me as an appeal to nature. So what if our ancestors survived without knowing better? We're all alive today despite horrific lack of food safety through the ages, not thanks to it. We have every reason to use modern, hard-earned scientific knowledge to ward off easily preventable diseases.
