The facts about eating pork

69

By Queen Tije

Have you ever ate pork and upon your last bite it came along with a headache? I have, and there's a reason for that. Did you know Pigs will eat anything including worms,rats, garbage, their own feeces and other pigs? Yes, its tue! and shortly after a pig has eaten "whatever", it then turns into meat on the pigs bones and this is the meat we eat; bacon,sausage,ham, salami, pork chops, etc. Sound's yummy huh? Here's more, did you know The Center for Disease Control stated that well over 100 virus come from China to the Unites States each year through pigs! In fact, majority of flu viruses that we encounter come from the lungs of pigs. Also, pigs foster many other toxins that are concealed with diseases and contain worms. Pork is the main source of taenia solium tapeworm. This kind of bacteria spreads throught the body and goes undetected for years! The bacteria takes nutrients from our cells and encourage inflammation and decline within all tissues. This helps to make an enviornment within our bodies, contributory to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, acid reflux, fatigue and depression. If this isn't enough to make you stop eating pork, let me leave you with one last fact: A retrovirus lives in all pork cells and this viruses lives through the heat that we cook in! so we eat our tasty meat ,and guess what goes inside our body? You got it, a retrovirus! Ok, I've poked fun in this article a little, but please understand the seriousness intended of eating pork. Honestly, it causes many problems with our human body and the headaches that are often associated with eating pork is just one, that we should pay attention to as a warning sign of a food/meat not good for you. If a food is good for you, it will give you energy, nutrients and make you feel good; not headaches, fatigue, tapeworms, viruses and just an overall decline of health. So now you have it, the facts about eating pork! I trust you will make the right decision for the sake of you and your family. oink -oink!

I heard from this master homeopathic doctor that is jewish but says for practicality, we should not eat pork because of the virus that live in it even after cooking it. And since pigs are so similar in DNA to us, the virus does not hurt them but does hurt humans. Just because as a Christian you think you are forgiven does not deny the fact of a scientific truth. Something to think about.

Pigs may have the reputation of liking to eat, but that doesn't mean they do eat everything in their sight. The farmers who run the facilities across the United States, where most of our pork comes from, feeds our pigs plentiful amounts of corn and soybean meal. Pigs don't just eat all the time, they eat until they are full. So really, how are they going to eat garbage, rats, worms, etc. Garbage, rats, and worms aren't going to get into their pens. Do you really think a rat is going to walk into a pen with 20 head of pigs? As for the comment of how they eat their own feces too, if you knew anything about the pork industry in today's day and age, you would know that the majority of pigs are raised on slats. This means that their feces falls through the slats and into a pit that is below all of the pens. I can honestly say I have never seen a pig eat it's own feces. As for the so called "worms," pigs are vaccinated and dewormed as they are piglets. American pig farmers aren't going to neglect this practice as they have to make money somehow and they have to eat this pork as well. Why would they sabotage something that is their life? There is a program called PQA plus or Pork Quality Assurance. It's a program that producers must take to be able to raise large amounts of pigs. I would like to know where you got your information from...because it is not credible. Next time you decide to write an article on pork, please make sure you have your facts straight.

ok, farm raised pigs eat what farmers give them. But give them the chance they will eat ANYTHING, and they don't need to be starving either. Toss in a dead animal, they'll gobble it up. Throw in a few turds...down the hatch.

I have grown up and lived on a farm all my life, and we have always had pigs, and I can honestly say that they are one of the cleanest animals. They wallow in mud to keep themselves cool and to keep the flies and insects away from biting them. And as for eating their own feaces?? This is the biggest load of crap ive ever heard.. My pigs are free range and run around in the grass and have their own barn they sleep in... and they only go to the toilet on one corner of the paddok they are in...and that's the only place they go...they keep it far away from where they eat their food and from where they sleep. Pigs are very smart animals, and yes they will eat pretty much anythign you give them, but that doesn't mean you feed them garbage! It is very easy to raise good healthy pigs, there is nothing dirty or disgusting about them at all.

I am environmental biologist and in my humble opinion most of fat soluable toxins are accumulated in the fat tissue of a pig.Those pesticides, herbicides, dioxins, hevy metals have tendency to bioacumulate over time. The rest of biomatter might be processed by the liver of the animal with the exeption of the parasites such as tichinosis. If the meat was toxic the pig itself would be sick and died.If someone consumes pork they should chose leaner pats of the meat, cooke it very well and eat less of it. Problem with pork is meat curing agents - nitrates used for sausages, salamis etc. that are somehow carcinogenic. So the best bet is to cook pork yourself rather than consume it "cured"

As they say, use common sense.

Charlottes web, hello prime example with the rats!

I quit eating pork 10 years ago! I have had it given to me accidentally, mainly restaurants or someone cooking with pork grease and not thinking about that. Everytime this has happened I am sick in the bed for 3 days! I mean ill, beyond imagination! So you can't tell me there is anything good about pork! I won't lie and say on occasion I want a slice of pepporoni pizza from pizza hut. I just go and bye some turkey pepporoni and make it at home! The people talking about working pig farms aren't gonna say anything bad about pigs! I'm just glad I am no longer eating pork!

There are at least six verses in the Bible directly forbidding the pig/swine meat and there is medical evidence of the desease attributed to this meat. Just type bible verses forbidding the pig or swine meat, then type seseases associated with eating of pig meat.

There are also dozens of other places in the Bible the Lord has warned about those who even touch the pig will meet their end

First as a response to Rick Douglas and i quote "And since pigs are so similar in DNA to us, the virus does not hurt them but does hurt humans. Just because as a Christian you think you are forgiven does not deny the fact of a scientific truth. Something to think about". Well as a Christian as you say you are A scientific revelation about eating pork is told to us in the bible.You must understand with pigs being a canabilistic animal it is contaminating itself just like mad cows disease ect it then goes into our food chain. Just as a human eating another huuman apart from biblical reasons not to do so but the human body isnt built to tolerate such food and also contaminates the body. Also Chris asked about Bottom feeders from oceans what do they eat? It also highlights this scientific revelation in the bible that we shouldnt eat them either, only for the purpose that they do eat all the crap in the oceans including toxins and perserve all the eatable fish. With all the shell fish ect being in high demand the are actually risking the health of everything we do eat from the ocean. So many diseases and illnesses are linked to eating pork. Countries will pass the eating of pork as its probably the cheapest of all live stock to breed and rear that can make good money. Pigs are bins. Would you eat out of your or anyone elses bin? Take care.

In My country in West Africa, pigs eat all sorts of things including worms, garbage and human feces. They are the dirtiest animal you see. In fact someone who does not stay tidy is often referred to as "dirty pig". So if someone calls you a pig, it means that you are very nasty, beyond dirty.

You all need to buy or rent the documentary "Food Inc." Just as I have suspected and said for many years our whole food chain in the U.S. is tainted. Grow your own food and raise your own livestock or buy from local farmers who free range their livestock and grow crops organically. We are all being poisoned by everything made commercially. Government and Big Business DO NOT have our health and safety in the forefront...it's all about the almighty dollar to them.

If a hog, or any other animal for that matter, is eating its own feces, it is because the farmer/care taker is not practicing proper husbandry. Why are people allowing their livestock to eat anything other than the food that is provided for them? Yes, a hog will eat garbage if that is all that is offered to him. In the US we call that neglect.

For all of you who have did proper research, God Bless.

For all of you who want to deny facts, ignorance is one of our worst enemies. Just because another creature can eat something and get away with it does not mean it can't or won't harm humans. We don't have the same bacteria chemical make up. Swine or pigs have puss veins on their front legs that drain some of the poison and toxins out, because they can't digest all the nasty stuff they ingest. As far as worms or parasites, just because an animal eats grain, hay or proper feed of any type does not make them immune to parasites. Some animals are born with worms, like most puppies. If we eat pork with Trichinae worms in it, there is no cure, and they are deadly. But think about it would you eat a Turkey Buzzard, Bat, Dog, Cat, ect. there are creatures who have been put on this earth to clean up waste that we should not eat, period. Remember the saying, " You are what you eat" So don't make your self FULL OF IT.

Anyone who thinks homeopathy doesn't work should try a "poison ivy" homeopathic preparation the next time they get it. It kills the itch and heals it in no time at all. And Arnica cream/gel is a great for bruises and sore muscles. A plastic surgeon I know dispenses Arnica pills to her patients after facial surgeries. It works! Read this!

Oh, yes. Jesus says that those who teach others not to obey the law are the LEAST in the kingdom. But those who observe and teach others to observe the Law of Moses are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Who do you believe? Jesus himself repeated 3 times in the Gospels, or some one time event?

@Plain old me "For those that believe, no proof is required"

Please sit back and thoroughly examine the words chosen there.

I 'believe' things based on the 'proof' of things around me. Thats why I don't believe in 40 foot purple mice.

Faith/belief is the complete acceptance in something when the evidence supporting it is non-existent, even damning.

A closed-minded, weak state of mind develops, easily manipulated and susceptible and worst of all, unable to take in information from the world around them and combine them into cohesive, new, individual ideas and theories, constantly leading them closer to the truth.

How can you be so sure you have found the truth? Have you looked elsewhere and checked? Are you sure you haven't just found a comfort zone?

It is mindsets like this that result in barriers obstructing the advancement of mankind. Please wake up, disown your power-driven war machine organisations, step out into the world and discover the true spiritual experience of uncovering the mysteries of our universe. It is 100 million times more magical, breathtaking and religous than anything you could imagine.

Oh, and btw - pork is nice, but as with all meat products, fail to cook it properly and you may get sick. I'd call that more a fact of meat than damning evidence from the Lord.

Yes pigs will eat anything! If its there, they will eat it. During the war in Bosnia in the early 90s, which is y i am now in NY, the Serbs slaughtered villages of Muslim men, women and children. They thru the bodies into dried up rivers/streams. They became so full that the Serbians brought in PIGS to feed on the corpses! So yes, pigs are filth on 4 legs. And the only animal that can't lift its head to look up to the heavens. just a couple pieces of info. Ktnxbye :)

If you don't like pork, don't eat it, but don't make up stupid crap about why it's terrible. Not liking it is enough explanation for not eating it.

I haven't eaten pork in 3 years. Everytime I smell it cooking I get sick to my stomach. I will eat fish & chicken, but pork is off my list. I recently sat down to eat a porkchop & one bite had me sick for 4 days. I come from a background where everyone eats it and I'm the one looked down upon, because I won't eat it. The African American community is known for h.b.p and diabetes. Maybe if they put down some of the grease salty fried food they wouldn't have a problem

So, this article is poorly written and barely researched. You obviously don't know what you're talking about because you called a tapeworm a bacterium. They're not even in the same Kingdom, taxonomically speaking. Also, it appears that you don't even know what a retrovirus is because you don't even go into the details of why it's bad, leading me to believe that you just assume it's bad because it has the word "virus" in it. It is a bad thing... but your obvious lack of general high school biology knowledge is sickening. Also, there is a grammatical error in your first sentence.

you asked, why did GOD create pig in the first place if its forbidden?

everything GOD create, have their own function in this world. so you assume that everything that GOD created have to be consumed? would you eat a stone? or your own friend then? if GOD forbids it, then one should obey. be it judaism, christianity or islam, it is obvious that pork is forbidden for consumption. it might be tasty but as a believer, why would you argue and refuse to obey?

i believe, one of the reason why pigs are created is to see who will listen and obey HIM and who will not listen for their own pleasure/advantages.

no matter how many scientific findings or religious verses being put forward, those ignorants will never listen. they had their tummy to control them (and the support of big companies that sells products derived from pigs).

more people who are in denial will argue with the truth. yes, and people who are in the big pork companies will argue. people loves money than they love GOD.

How do you know if pork is harmless? if an advert can be too good to be true, what makes you think that the 'good scientific facts about pork' are true? its so easy to bend the truth for one's own pleasure nowadays.

may you be blessed.

No doubt pigs are scavengers, God made them to clean up like the garbage truck. So then you would like to go out and lick the garbage truck? People will tell you just to cook the pork at a certain temperature that will kill the worms. Well, I'm sorry but I don't like to eat dead worms either! Pigs will eat human flesh as well, in the old west that is how they got rid of bodies. Eating pork is dangerous to your health, God knew what was good for us.

hey people, this is an article about PORK not religion, as for pork not digesting and rotting, that is ridiculous. I eat pork on a daily basis almost, and I am a perfectly healthy, in shape, 21 year old. I have made it 21 years eating pork, never have I had a problem. not even a headache. as for the non pork eater, that will happen with pretty much any meat eaten by someone who has abstained from that meat type for a prolonged period of time, talk to a vegetarian. After a while your body loses the ability to process foods which are not eaten and instead concentrates on processing foods which are regularly eaten, therefore, you become sick because your body is not used to it. Quit all this religious CRAP really, this has NOTHING to do with food preference and whether its really bad for you or not, although personally, I think that believing in a big bearded man in the sky who rules the universe is INSANITY to me. Therefore, I do not allow the laws of the insane to affect me. I'll eat my pork and enjoy it too! lets see who lives longer!

Read this quote from the bilbe do you agree with it?

Leviticus 12

Purification After Childbirth

1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

6 “‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.[a] 7 He shall offer them before the LORD to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood.

“‘These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. 8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

Please don't eat pig. The fewer people that eat pork, the cheaper pork will become. I love pork and eat it often. Silly religions and silly people think silly things and then set their silly thoughts to silly words.

Strangely, I can't find any scientific discussion on the internet about any problems with pork. That is because there are no studies to show that pork is any different from other animal protein. And if pork is so evil, why do so many have to make up lies about pork. Check it out. Pork fat/lard is kissing cousin to healthy olive oil in fatty acids kinds aka monounsaturates. Today's pork does not have to be overcooked. It can be cooked lightly. Yum.

This is the 21st Century, folks. Time to stop worshiping goofy gods.

ok i have read all these comments wow is all I can say. In the bible God gave Moses power to name the animals . so the names of animals was established by Moses. The scripture I read early someone commented on it about how He said dont eat certain animals which is in Leviticus 11:1-47 this chapter was the law in the days of Moses. This is were he described the different animals clean and unclean which is in the old testiment . But you forgot on scripture now this other scriptures speaks about when the LOrd bless food in the new testament which when you are new in christ you are now under the new convenant of the new not the old in Mark 7:18-19 And he saith unto them . Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man , it can not defile him. v19 Because it entereth into his heart , but into the belly , and goeth out unto the draught purging all meats? this is one scripture that Jesus spoke on how it can not defile a man .

For Romans 14:14

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

So if you think eating unclean meat from Leviticus is a sin, then yes, it is considered a sin

14:15

Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. now this scripture was talking about offending someone who doesnt , or does eat meat. that is the natural but there is spiritual knowledge to this . I dont eat pork because what I have noticed is one in my family who ate it either died from diabettes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Which let me know that it is not good. Also it takes longer to digest. So just because a person eats it doesnt mean they are bad that is their preference . But the ones that is slander the Lord one is Jesus doesnt look like some man with a big beard that isnt even him. Alot of people say they believe and worship Jesus but have idols of these pictures they want to believe is him when in fact the scripture says in isaiah 53:2 there is no beauty that we should desire him so Jesus is not the fair skin guy who is pretty. Also It spoke of in revelation 1:13-15 where it also spoke how he also looks v13 And in the mist of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man , clothed with a garment down to the foot ,and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. v14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire. v15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. so this also tells you how Jesus looks. Listen because you dont believe in something doesnt mean it doesnt isist . Look around you really think about it space there is no gravity so you float, earth look at all the creation around you everyone is made different , look at the animals ones that can swim in water and some that are on land. For years people argue about really anything and it just really ignorant to fact. If you dont know something educate your self before you make stupid comments that are not fact. I have learned that studying facts gives answers not opionion and if you gonna make comments one the word of God come with scripture not oppionion. Conversation over.

I raise pigs and of everything on my farm they are the cleanest pickiest animal I have. And I have a lot of different animals. They eat what I feed them they have there own barn and pasture and poop no where near the food. They don't poop where they sleep either!

I do not eat pork, beef lamb/mutton,shellfish,tomato,capsicum,cashews,dairy foods,wheat,and the list goes on, but it is nothing to do with religion, biased beliefs or monetary matters.

It is a simple fact that some human bodies do not have the capability to digest certain foods depending on your blood group and makeup. I was at a stage some ten years ago that my next thing to look forward to was throat cancer, not from eating pork, but from eating food I could not digest, causing increased acid production in my stomach and then reflux. I am not saying pork is good or bad or will or will not cause cancer, have a look at the bigger picture of what we are consuming in the twentieth century in the way of artificial substances, particularly 250 Sodium Nitrite in all the processed foods, mainly meat. Have a look at the book Eat Right For Your Type by Dr. Peter J. DÁdamo with Catherine Whitney. IT SAVED MY LIFE.It could save yours too.

Greetings.

I'll make this short and will try (not deliberately) to offend both sides of the proverbial fence. First. I am in the middle of a research on the topic after hearing from a good friend of mine, "the reasons I should not be eating pork." I know from research now that pigs are toxic. But what does that mean? Toxic sounds bad right? So we run away from it. But what about those toxins that we can't run away from? Like fluoride, aspartame, AZT, and others. Here is a list to show what I mean, you may even recognize some.

Acesulfame K

Sugar substitute found in pudding, chewing gum, non-dairy creamers, instant coffee mixes, tea mixes and gelatin desserts. May increase cancer in humans.

Acetone

Also known as Dimethylketone, 2-Propanone, Beta-Ketopropane. Inhalation of moderate to high amounts, even for a short time results in entry of acetone into bloodstream where it is carried to all other

organs. Nose, throat, lung and eye irritant, headaches, confusion, increased pulse rate, effects on blood, nausea, vomiting and unconsciousness, coma. Shortens the menstrual cycle in women. Effects of long-term exposure include kidney, liver and nerve damage, increased birth defects, metabolic changes and coma. Found in nail polish remover.

Acetaldehyde

Found in many nail care products. Known to cause cancers in humans and experimental animals.

Alcohol

Implicated in oral cancer. Found in mouthwash, astringent, toothpaste, cleansers.

Aluminum

Central nervous system damage and linked to Alzheimers. Found in antiperspirant deodorants.

Aspartame

Genetically-modified, synthetic sugar substitute. People report dizziness, headaches and even seizures. Scientists believe it can alter behavior due to altered brain function. Long term effects of this genetically modified chemical on human health has not been studied or tested. Found as a sweetener in foods and some body products, such as shaving gel.

Benzene

Inhalation of high levels of benzene can cause headaches, rapid heart rate, tremors, confusion, unconsciousness and death. Hodgkin’s and Lymphomas result from inhalation. Used in detergents, drugs, pesticides and adhesives.

Benzoic Acid

Inhalation affects nervous system and is moderately toxic by ingestion. Severe eye and skin irritant. Used as a food preservative and in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics

Benzoic / Benzyl / Benzene

Contains carcinogens, endocrine disruptor, may cause birth defects. Found in shower gels, shampoos, bubble bath.

Fluoride

May contain lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. Accumulates in body and contributes to bone disease. Carcinogenic. Found in toothpastes.

Formaldehyde

Suspected carcinogen and neurotoxin, it may be fatal if swallowed, absorbed through skin, inhaled or swallowed. Can cause spasms, edema, chemical pneumonitis and is extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membrane, this chemical is found in many nail care products. Known to cause cancers in humans and experimental animals. Found in baby shampoo, bubble bath, deodorants, perfume, cologne, hair dye, mouthwash, toothpaste, hair spray, nail polish.

Fragrances (Synthetic)

Some perfumes / fragrances contain hundreds of chemicals. Some, such as methylene chloride are carcinogenic. Some cause brain damage or are neurotoxins. Avoid unless you can be sure they are not

carcinogenic.

GMO/Genetically Modified Organisms

Plants, animals or foods that have been genetically-modified, genetically engineered or BT/Biotechnology modified. Genetic engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occur naturally. Minimal testing shows that animals fed GMO feed refuse to eat it. When force-fed the feed (corn, soy, tomatoes etc.) the animals developed stomach lesions and malformations of organs. GMO food is not labeled as such in the U.S. Almost all other countries have banned the use of GMO in food and body products due to insufficient testing.

High Fructose Corn Syrup/HFCS

High fructose consumption has been fingered as a causative factor in heart disease. It raises blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. It makes blood cells more prone to clotting, and it may also accelerate the aging process.

Hydrogenated/Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Hydrogenated oils contain high levels of trans fats. A trans fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been radically changed by high heat. Trans fats are poison: just like arsenic. Partially hydrogenated oils will not only kill you in the long term by producing diseases like multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to arthritis, but in the meantime they will make you fat!

Isobutylparaben

Potential breast cancer risk. Itching, burning and blistering of skin. Found in body products.

Isoproponal/Isopropyl Alcohol

Moderately toxic chemical causing flushing, pulse rate decrease, blood pressure lowering, anesthesia, narcosis, headache, dizziness, mental depression, drowsiness, hallucinations, distorted perceptions, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting and coma. Used to clean/disinfect skin.

Methylparaben

Potential breast cancer risk and endocrine disruptor raising concern for impaired fertility or development of fetus, and increased risk for certain cancers, itching, burning and blistering of skin. A close cousin of benzoic acid: poisonous and moderately toxic, it is found in body products.

Mineral Oil

A derivative of petroleum, this additive clogs pores, locks in toxins, suffocates and dries skin and inhibits your skins natural oil production further increasing dehydration. Causes testicular tumors in the fetus, deposits accumulate in the lymph nodes and prevent absorption of vitamin A from the intestines. Found in blush, baby oil, lotions, foundation and creams.

Monosodium Glutamate/MSG

MSG is an excitotoxin, which causes nerve damage and allergic reactions. Found in hundreds of foods, often under other names.

Neotame

Neotame is a reformulated aspartame that will require smaller amounts than aspartame to achieve the same sweetness and the same toxicities. Neotame, like aspartame, contains aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and a methyl esther. Animal studies reveal aspartic acid and glutamic acid load on the same receptors in the brain, cause identical brain lesions and neuroendocrine disorders, and act in an additive fashion. People who are sensitive to processed free glutamic acid (MSG) experience similar reactions to aspartame, and people who are sensitive to aspartame experience similar reactions to MSG. People who currently react to MSG and/or aspartame should expect to react similarly to Neotame. Found in soft drinks, pharmaceuticals, processed foods of all kinds.

Nitrates – Nitrites

While nitrate itself is harmless; it is readily converted to nitrite. When nitrite combines with compounds called secondary amines, it forms nitrosamines: extremely powerful cancer-causing chemicals. The chemical reaction occurs most readily at the high temperatures of frying. Nitrite has long been suspected as being a cause of stomach cancer.

Nitrosamines

Extremely powerful, cancer-causing chemicals formed at high temperatures when the preservative nitrite combines with compounds called secondary amines.

You are all going to die anyway. You can't run from that now can you. Well you can, but you have to know about it first. Just start with the word conspiracy. It always ends with enlightenment.

Cheers!

jews and muslims don't eat pork because they obey their imaginary friend/father, then they look for rational reasons not to eat pork. even if pork were the healthier food available they wouldn't eat it. this is laughable, just as this blog post that cites no study or anything. i encourage anyone reading this ridiculous blog to look for proper information (a google search will do well if you read more than the appealing result titles)

Pigs are one of the cleanest animals there are! they love food but do not eat their own faeces! A pig will have one place where it will do its business and do it in that same place every time!

The reason it is bad to eat pork is because their DNA is so similar to ours and we can catch anything they might have had. Human meet has an enzyme in it that causes schizophrenia, pork also contains this enzyme but only in small concentrations.

Pigs are also VERY intelligent, they are the 6th smartest animal in the world. Not even dogs and cats make the top 10. People should not eat intelligent animals!
