Trouble with slow cooked pork

[Guest guest]

Whenever I eat slow cooked pork, I feel nauseous and tired in an hour

or so, but I don't have any trouble with a relatively quickly cooked

pork chop or with bacon. I would be grateful for any ideas on why -

what the cause of the trouble could be? Sharon

Emma,

> Are you cooking it at a hot enough temperature?

Usually 325 degrees for 2-3 hours, so yes, I think so.

> Are the chops and bacon from the same supplier as the slow cooked

pork?

Sometimes, yes. I have this problem with slow roasted pork from the

Amish farm I order from and also the regular stuff from the store. I

have to wonder if I am doing something wrong when I cook it because my

husband tends to have the same problems.

Just because it's Amish doesn't mean it's natural. I live near

Lancaster, PA - famous for the Amish tourism industry. I have

gotten meat from Amish farms and have been really disappointed to

see on the labels all the chemicals added at the butcher's. That

and the farms I see mostly use the fields for crops and keep the

dairy Holsteins in little muddy pens. They use Crisco in their

baking, and run some of the most awful puppy mills and chicken

factory farms around. Just because they don't drive cars or

tractors doesn't mean they do things right or the old way,

unfortunately. Not that they are all bad, but as farmers they are

just like anybody else, lots of bad information and a few

enlightened people who do do it right. You just really need to go

see the animals where you buy the meat!

All that to say, maybe it's an additive in the meat or something the

pig was fed that causes problems as it's slow-cooked and chemically

reacts with something else?

Yes, that is true. This pork is natural - this Amish farmer is a WAP

devotee. And I met the pigs myself last weekend - they were out

romping in the sun.
