It can be true. But tape worm can be found even in vegetables. I have come across people who don't eat pork yet get tape worm. I eat pork a lot. But whenever I eat pork I cook it very well. And so chance of getting tape work is almost nil. I think the chance is higher for those who don't cook their food items well. I think the risk of getting tape worm through vegetable and pork is equal.

Yes even I have heard of it too. But I think if the pork is cooked at high temperatures thoroughly, the tape worms die. I love pork and have eaten it many times without ever falling sick.
