Why eat Pork (e.g. bacon, ribs etc.)?

[Delta Squad]

The only reason you don't eat pork is because your religion forbids you; to say otherwise would be disingenuous.



Cooking animal flesh really makes it safer to consume.

i'f have to agree with jimmy on this one.

the FDA has inspections and has standards food suppliers must adhere too.

this helps keep us safe, granted if you don't cook it throughly enough you may get sick, i don't know about you but when i eat anykind of meat i enver really think about the animal it came from.

once you try meat you never go back.

your veggies have to be cleaned aswell don't they? you just don't go pick some out of a guys feild and pop one into your mouthe do you?

no you take it home, wash it and cook it.

meat is the same way.

First of, if you knew you were going to get infracted for this then why post in the first place? Secondly, that's why I asked for people to EXPLAIN why they eat pork. Pork is indeed harmful to the health as pigs can harbor Trichinella (http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/trichinellosis/gen_info/faqs.html). There are more sicknesses that can be caused by eating pork (uncooked or improperly prepared) http://dpd.cdc.gov/dpdx/HTML/ImageLibrary/Cysticercosis_il.htmThird, your argument about intelligence? You clearly lack it. How?

First of all, it should say "This is the intelligent section". Second, you should have a comma or semi-colon after the word "section". Third, "Pig's" should be "pigs" to agree with the following word, "are". I'll point out more mistakes but that's not what this thread is about.

Stop flaming threads, learn how to write correctly and learn what an intelligent conversation is about. I would also recommend READING a post before replying to it based on your emotions.

Your last comments make no sense. If you can provide proof that pigs are related to lamb (has to be scientific proof, not wikipedia or something), I'll agree with your point.

There should not be a question mark since you are not asking a question.

There should be a colon before "are" instead of a comma.

Wikipedia should be capitalized.

The comma after the sentence encased in the final two parentheses should be placed after the word "lamb" as it is not part of the main sentence which you had used.

If you're going to be pedantic with spelling, syntax and grammar, you should learn their rules before you embarrass yourself.

Before posting in a critique fashion you should read the thread, and then consider posting on topic. While grammar is highly valued you have failed to make an argument that contributed towards the discussion.

On topic:

Pork is a great meat source then even the pigs help recycle food refuse, and refusing to eat them due to outdated fears isn't an argument.

Any animal is nasty, dogs eat their own poop, yet you still pet them and let them lick your faces.

In a recent study it said that there is feces on 80% of the surfaces around us.

And frankly BACON IS THE SHIT.

Oh boy. I really didn't expect this thread to blow up this much....I value all these comments and opinions very much! (Even though a majority of them were arguing about somewhat irrelevant things)
So in summary, pork tastes like: angels on your tongue, heavenly, divine, a portion of heaven in your mouth, orgasmic, indescribable.
Any other reasons for eating pork?

I don't know if anyone really remembers it or knows about it but there was a book wrote in like the 20's or 30's called the Jungle and it was about the meat processing industry. A lot of it was pure sensationalism but it initiated a lot of beneficial legislation dealing with the meat packing industry.

Just thought it was relevant.

It's a great book (although horrifically detailed...) Thanks for bringing it up

Thanks for correcting my post. I appreciate it. However, you do have to take into consideration that not everyone learns the same thing. In this case, I am pretty sure that what I've learned differs from what you have been taught. Saying "post" rather than "post it" is just as grammatically correct and makes just as much sense. There is a question mark because it's a rhetorical question. Otherwise, your other comments have increased my own knowledge and I'm more aware of my personal grammar mistakes; for that I am grateful.

However, you missed one of the important points of my post: I clearly said I did not want to be "pedantic with spelling, syntax and grammar." I was merely pointing out minor mistakes with the intention of increasing my fellow members' knowledge. I do hope that you don't take this post the wrong way. ^_^

It provides energy/nutrients to your body and is a healthier alternative to red meat?

Mud and dirt never makes it into the cardiovascular system or muscular structure of a pig unless its skin is cut open when it's rolling around in the mud. And even then, their immune system eliminates dangerous bacteria. If it's slaughtered before the immune system can complete its job, cooking it kills off bacteria.

Their blood runs through a what's called a "Closed System", meaning the blood never exits the blood vessels, and ideally only oxygen enters via the lungs, not the stomach (eliminating the danger of swallowed mud contaminating their system). Blood runs to the muscles to deposit the oxygen directly, so muscles aren't getting contaminated with mud. And all throughout the process, the blood is filtered in the liver and kidneys.

There's nothing unhealthy about pigs, it's all entirely psychological and metaphysical if you think it's bad to eat pork.

 

[isuckathalo1]

well the reason i eat pork is because it tastes delicious!!! There is nothing better (besides steak) on a summer day then BBQ pork chops on the grill. Alos ribs are amazing!! And bacon is the best breakfast food around!! BLT sandwiches with plain Lays . Also bacon is not just a breakfast food anymore have you seen/tried whats new at Burger King??? take a look at this picture!!!! (BTW IT IS DELICIOUS ALSO!!)

That is not the case, "why post" implies the questioning of posting in a general sense, not specifically as a reply in this thread. Whilst there are minute differences in spelling between American English and British English, their grammar rules are identical and universal for the language.

My apologies. It seemed to be an ambiguous question in terms of whether or not you wanted an answer from the person who you were referring to.

Sorry for being pedantic, but there should be a semi-colon instead of a colon after the word "post" since you were not typing a list.

That's fine, it's actually the first time I've received a positive reaction as a result of my corrections.

 

[that tank kid]

Bacon is pretty much orgasmic, that is why.

 

[bigfate]

Have you ever tasted and smelt sizzling bacon? Nice and salty and crunchy and oh so delicious. That is why I eat it

OT: People who don't eat meat don't really get all the protein they need.. sure eat peanut butter or beans but there is (or was im not sure now) a study being done about eating meat and pros and cons.. it was the discovery channel btw and they said that you have to eat around 4lbs of beans or peanuts to equal the protein of a steak.. eating red meat also provided some chemical i forgot which vegetarians are without

 

[xxaaronxx46]

I can be honest with you and make a very clear point as it seems everyone here has stated.

The reason I myself eat meat or any food, is not because I think it's healthy, or because I think it's cleaner, it's because generally I like the taste of it. I enjoy foods that excite my taste buds.

Now that's me, however the feelings and beliefs of others varies a lot. My religion does not negate what I can or can't eat. Now I'm sure if I followed another religion that went against eating selected foods I wouldn't eat those foods, regardless of the "taste" of the food.

I would never tell anyone to go against there religion for a food, nothing is worth turning you're back on a god. Guilt will always come back and haunt!

Please don't eat me.

Annex: It's a healthier alternative to red meat? Really? I never knew that!
Mohtasa Unique: Thanks a lot for your great insight! I learned something else from you as well! I see.

Isuckathalo1: Well technically I could say there are some foods better than steak or pork chops on a hot summer day But I do understand your point

Grammar Syntax: True, but then what would be the "it"? The poster said he would probably be infracted for posting so I merely asked "Why post?" The generalization I made was that if someone knew he/she was going to be infracted then why would they post at all. For that reason, I deemed using "it" unnecessary. Yes I realized my colon mistake after posting yet Sythe was down so there was no way to edit my post. L0L really? Well that wouldn't be hard to believe haha.

xxaaronxx46: You make a really good point there. I can say the same thing; I only eat foods that I deem delicious, tasty or appealing. For that reason I despise eating tomatoes x) I also have to agree with what you are saying about religious beliefs and such. It is not my place to pull away someone from their religion nor teach them about it.

Pro Porkchop: You have nothing to fear from me

Why not eat pork is a better question, it has been eaten for millennia ever since our ancestors moved to places where wild pigs inhabited. Fire (cooking) kills most if not all of the harmful bacteria, its a tasty food source, provides the nutrients we need ect.

This is a good point, although, the process of gathering animal protein was different a millennial ago. It was hunted and butchered in small counts, as to now it's just an industry slaughterhouse that does the work for us.
I feel people should know more "behind-the-scenes" facts about what they eat and how it's processed, because then people may think twice about what they put in their mouth. I myself, am a vegetarian and live a happy, healthy life. Yes, it's a personal choice and I'm not forcing anyone to change their opinions... but, the fact of consuming anything that has a heart, and emotions is just very heartbreaking. The animals we eat also can't stop us from what we do to them either. Overall, I believe you don't need to hunger for meat to obtain protein because there are different healthy choices people can make.

Dude, I've seen movies/videos about "factory farming" and yea, the food we eat seems pretty disgusting but c'mon, you can't hate bacon once you've had it.

 

[The Red Panda]

I really enjoy the taste. Of ALL meats.. :3
