Life without Pork!

It is not a surprise, that numerous beliefs worldwide find pork to be an abomination!

Why, If you're any kind of way at all familiarized with the " Book of Life " The Holy Bible, Leviticus 11 verse 1- 12 clearly states that swine and any living creature of the water that has no fins or scales are abominations.

Look,  no matter how you look at it pigs are rather extremely filthy animals. On the farmland they are considered the scavengers , basically created to eliminate any waste ( yes even their own).

  Gross right?

 Well I'm not done, This waste also includes bugs, insects, and whatever leftover scrapes that they find laying around, as well as the dead carcasses of sick animals, including their own young. This in itself s a perfect explanation as to why the meat of the pig can be so dirty and not healthy to consume.
And I agree while being " grossed out " may or may not be valid reason not to eat something, it's a vital importance to understand a bit more about pork.

Known Facts

• Pork is one of the most consumed meats in the world.
• The infamous H1N1 better known as the " Swine Flu" a virus that has made it's leap from pig to human. Of course this is not the only disease to fear from the pig, there are other sicknesses you can get from eating the meat of the pig.
• Pork meat is loaded with toxins, mores than most other meats like beef and chicken.
• Pigs digests whatever it eats rather quickly, approximately 4 hours. On the other hand a cow takes a good twenty-four hours to digest what it' eaten. During the digestive process, animals ( including humans ) get rid of excess toxins as well as other components of the food eaten that could be dangerous to our health. Pigs store their toxins in an adequate amount of fatty tissue ready for our consumption
• The CDC recommends thorough cooking of pork as well as freezing the pork prior to cooking to kill off any worms. I don't know about you, but  don't feel good about eating anything that I first have to kill off its worms to eat.
• Another issue with the pig is that it doesn't have any sweat glands. Sweat glands are a tool the body uses to be rid of toxins. This leaves more toxins in the pig's body.

Actually pigs carry a variety of parasites within their bodies and meat. Some of these parasites are difficult to kill even when cooking. This is the reason thee are so many warnings out there about eating undercooked pork.

 

Whether it's by coming in direct contact with them through farms or by eating their meat we put ourselves at higher risk of getting one of these painful, often debilitating diseases ( not to mention put our bodies on toxic overload).

 

 

Pigs are primary carriers of :

• Taenia solium tapeworm
• Hepatitis E virus (HEV)
• PPRS ( Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome
• Nipah Virus
• Menangle Virus

Each of these parasites and viruses can lead to serious health problems that can last for years to come.

 

Remember!......

What you choose to eat is up to you. But as far as my family goes, we choose to stay away from the abomination of life " the pig" and the finless, non scale water creatures. I advise do your own research and carefully consider reading what the Bible for many years warned us about then make your own educated decision about what you choose to feed yourself and your loved ones.
