That's probably because the Chinese eat LOTs of it. I, too, would like to know the arguments for/against eating pork. I will eat it and actually enjoy bacon, but other than that it's the meat I like least. Lamb is my favorite. - ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 <<In NT, Sally and say no pork meat. But could this be biased simply because Enig is Jewish? >>...<<Also, in the " what we eat " article on the WAPF site, Sally and others eat bacon for breakfast on a semi-regular basis.>> Well then, there you are, religion is obviously not a factor - it can't be A and B at the same time. Pork has had a bad rep because of various nasties that once dwelt within, but pretty well **all** meat, including pork, is frozen before sale which kills any parasites etc. And I don't think that it is an issue with domesticated animals. But this is why its still a bit risky to hunt some wild animals without freezing them for a couple of weeks befoere eating them. <<I don't know what they could be talking about (in NT) in regards to the mysterious " blood changes " that supposedly happen from eating pork.>> Nor I, but its not holy writ, just very good idvice generally - she does have a few personal views on food though - " how very 60's " I remember thinking about something or other! <<And isn't pork, like, the most commonly consumed meat in the world or something?>> They are the easiest animals to raise because you can " farm " pigs on a very small scale, even in a town or the poorest of villages. This is because they will eat anything they are given if hungry enough. " Any old cr*p " I was going to say, which was literally true in some traditional cultures where pigs were scavengers - this is why they were sometimes considered to be unclean and were often carriers of various parasitical critters. I suspect no traditional culture ate pork medium rare - more lengthy roasts and stews or else cooked quickly but on hot temps in the chinese tradition. No doubt there are, but I can't think of any rare recipes for pork - it always seems to be well " processed " , by heat when cooking or else lots of salt and spices and even smoking if making sausages and so forth. Its a contrast to beef, which can be eaten raw. regards from edella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I eat pork chops from my buthcer? I know pork can be high in salt and cured with sugar so not sure if I should buy pork from the deli/buthcer shop? > Thanks for your help! +++Hi . Yes, you can eat pork chops, roasts, and other cuts of pork from your butcher, which aren't usually cured. You shouldn't have any smoked meats; some hams are smoked and/or treated with nitrates or sulphites. Bacon can also be treated with nitrates or sulphites. Read labels.
