pork question

I was just wondering if most folks here are, in practice, ignoring the comment

that Sally makes in NT about pork meat? She says that there is some evidence

that the *meat* of pigs is linked to cancers... and she suggests that perhaps

the meat is suspect, but the fat is okay. (ly, the statement seemed weak to

me, but I haven't done any research on it.) Sally doesn't include any pork

recipes, correct?

I ask because it seems like quite a few people here eat pork and I love the

taste and would like to feel okay about eating it. In an email a few months ago

someone pointed out that the diet of pigs can be the problem: they don't just

eat grass, so what is going into them varies more and could be problematic.

Bacon sounds SO good to me, I wanna eat some. And probably will.... :-) The

farm that I am buying from raises pigs in a humane way, but isn't using organic

grains and such. I am not really sure about what all they are feeding them.

[P.S. Thanks Tim for your response to my " testing cows " question! that

helps...]
