Why you should never eat pork
http://sorendreier.com/why-you-should-never-eat-pork/
There are many religions that specifically forbid the consumption of pork. The meat is considered “unclean” and non-kosher. Is there a reason for this? Is there more to this religious teaching that we should all be aware of?
It seems as though the religions that condemn pork consumption are on to something, in fact there are many scientific claims to back this up.
Pigs are scavengers by nature, which means that they will eat almost anything, including rotten food, feces, urine, carcasses and even cancerous growths. Unfortunately the digestive system of a pig is incapable of effectively removing these accuмulated toxins from the body because a pig will digest its food entirely in about 4 hours. This is simply not long enough to remove the excess toxins that were ingested, these toxins are then stored directly in the fat cells and organs of the pig itself.

There are also "many scientific claims" to "back up" the theory that man evolved from apes.
And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind. And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat. But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean. And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
The Acts of the Apostles x:ix-xv
I'll take that over scientific claims Noahide propaganda any day of the week.

The author of that moronic article - Alanna Ketler (oy vey!) is a member of a pagan New Age organization called "Collective Evolution" (I'll be darned, sort of redounds to my initial point about "scientific claims," doesn't it?).
Peruse their website: http://www.collective-evolution.com/ and Miss Ketler's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/oVivaLaRevolution/videos and then decide if this person (who has linked to an instructional video on "Meditation for Opening Third Eye Chakra Point") is really someone whose word you'll take over that of Sacred Scripture on any subject at all.

My family and I enjoyed a few delicious rashers just this past Saturday.
God be praised for the gift of pork. Those тαℓмυdists and Mahometans don't know what they're missing.

The Noahide Movement is proof that there is a sucker born every minute and the Jews are there to take him.
The Jews teach their children that Noah was a drunk and a bum. Yes, they teach, he was the most righteous man of his era - his era - but wouldn't even be considered righteous in the most broad definition if he walked the Earth during the times of the patriachs.

I just had some bacon gouda in honor of Saturday. Italian sausage for dinner.

I spent too much time avoiding pork, no more. Quality beef is getting too expensive. I buy it from a local farmer to ensure it's free of additives. (pork is a great source for dopamine btw)
May I ask, what are rashers? I could look it up, but would prefer a down home answer vs. wikipedia.

Rashers are long narrow strips of bacon which are eaten with eggs at an English breakfast. They are scrumptious!

God's laws for the jews before Jesus dealt with a lot of things to do with purity.
Off the top of my head there are the laws of, no sex when one's wife is on period, not eating certain foods because of uncleanliness (impure), not using 2 fabrics in one clothing item, etc.
These cultural laws God gave the jews a lot of time dealt with purity- but these laws were fulfilled (although it looks like they were abolished) by Jesus- One of the reasons why (according to my understanding) is that these are pure on a material level, not a spiritual one.
There are benefits and negatives to pretty much any food, pigs are dirty and unclean-but that is why we cook meat, we wash away the toxins or diseases.

Nadir, I thought you were in, Indonesia was it? please pardon my faulty memory. or perhaps that was vacation?
Regardless, good old bacon and eggs is still the best breakfast.

Yes, though the bacon we ate was goold old American pig-belly bacon (as opposed to British back bacon), I (like most in my family) retain the habit of our Irish and Maltese grandparents, who frequently used British terminology (thus, "rashers" instead of "strips," "pram" instead of "stroller," etc).

ah, that's why I've picked up the impression that you are 'an Englishman in New York'.

Very handsome, contented-looking beasts. Much more than can be said of the poor wretches who live out their days in the cramped pens of the big industrial conglomerates.
Those healthy little porkers you're raising should yield some excellent meat.

I want to go on record as saying that I am a fan of pig fat!

duly noted and applauded :cheers:
JohnAnthonyMarie, I have various relatives who were gentlemen farmers in Maryland. They said that the slaughter of pigs must be done quickly and humanely because they are intelligent and intuit danger, become extremely stressed and the meat doesn't taste as good.
Would you concur?
Interesting turn of topic.

I hate factory farms and slaughterhouses. They are unnecessarily cruel to farm animals, whom I have a soft spot for. Were I in politics they would be the first things banned.

For those of us familiar with your rough and tumble style, this is an endearing statement. Compassion is a fine Catholic characteristic when measured with prudence.

I am here in this thread to support an honest man's right to bacon. Screw the Jew wannabe's.

On a side note, has anyone else noticed bacon prices going up? Here in my neck of the woods (Canada) good bacon is going for $6-7/lb when not that long ago a good pack of double smoked was only $4-5/lb.
Bacon inflation is outrageous...

I completely agree - hogs are very intelligent. Bringing their end in a humane manner goes without saying, and you are very correct about being quick about it. As I would imagine is true for any animal, for better tasting meat, the task is to avoid any agitation or excitement that increases blood flow to the muscle. Last year, one of my two hogs decided she did not want to load, instead opting to be back in her pen (she broke a gate panel and put a 200lb. man to the ground for her effort). It was enough activity that I postponed finishing her for another day.

In recognition of Luker's statement, I would like to announce that I just now exercised my "honest man's right to bacon." Shalom!

This year's six month schedule, start to finish, is estimated at $2.58 lb. ($0.67 lb. less than my prior effort). Raised in pairs, my hogs generally weigh just over 300lbs, and typically yield near 50% of that weight in meat. The quality of the meat is remarkable.

I attest to this. Once you eat pork or other meat from a local farmer who raises and slaughters the animals well, you can never return to eating commercially mass produced meat.

Agree completely!
We buy our eggs (chicken and duck) from a local family and they are night and day different in a very good way!

Of all my recent blessings, and they are many, I offer much thanksgiving for our local farmer for fresh eggs, unpasteurized goat milk, and fresh meat. Deo gratias!
(hmm, duck eggs? I will try them. I hear they are more nutritious than chicken eggs)

Considering your libertarian views (:P) good for you Quigg! It is quite obvious to me the two biggest haters of family farms are Wall Street who want to turn farms into assembly lines of production like factories, and Washington D.C. who on the one hand lets foreign farms have all the goods with free trade but on the other hand won't lift embargos on Cuba for instance so our farmers can trade.

There is a place for the assembly line (some people are on a tight budget) but I strongly prefer the organic stuff first and foremost because of how much superior the taste it - It really is great! I jokingly tell my boys "Look, I don't care if they beat the cows with sticks as long as this organic milk is this good!"
I have made a switch to organic milk, cheese, eggs and most definitely butter. Even though Kerrygold isn't technically organic, the taste is so over the top good that it nullifies the higher price tag.

With the duck eggs, fry them longer because they have larger yokes and the white will be runny if you don't keep it in the pan a couple minutes longer.

good tip! When not poached, I cook eggs on a very very low flame. It takes awhile, but it's healthier. Sounds like I'll need to pull up a chair and grab a good book waiting for the duck eggs :ready-to-eat: Good food is always worth the wait.
I'll let you know the verdict.
