I don't eat pork ever since they came out with that slogan that promotes promiscuity:


Pork the other white meat.

If you've ever tasted pork without it being doctored it up, it tastes like $@&#.

Some parts of the pig are better than others - like if you get a good cut of Pork Loin, I think that's the best tasting part. But if you try bacon without it being smoked, cured, flavored, salted, etc. It is rather nasty.

So other than properly cooked pork loin (olive oil and lots of seasoning), no I don't like pork. And it's rather unhealthy to eat too.

Depends on the cut/ Lean Pork is as healthy as chicken or lean beef.


Here in Everett MA there is a Butcher Shop that sells Marinated Meats and their Chinese Marinated Pork Tips and Ribs are to die for, especially when BBQ'd. In fact I'm going to Grill some up this afternoon on the BBQ.

Pigs are generally fed scrap food - stuff that is moldy or spoiled. And because of their need to wallow in their own feces, they ingest a lot of parasites as well. Their digestive system is rather weak and much of the toxins/parasites they eat go into their meat and not just their fat. With other animal meat you can throw away much of the toxins with the fat because their meat doesn't store it. (this point also applies to the danger of catfish meat)

Maybe in Bangladesh but most Pig Farmers these days have to follow strict rules about the kind of feed they give their pigs.

BTW, you think Cows are clean Animals? Ever been by a Dairy Farm? You can smell them at least a mile away! How about Pultry Farms where they have Chickens living is such close proximity that they have to de-beak them so they don't cause bodily injuries to each other.

Yep, chickens are the nastiest grocest (is that a word??)creatures alive today.
The big commercial chicken farms are the most disgusting places on earth. *confirmed*

Vincent: You want some bacon?
Jules: No, man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish
Jules: No, I ain't Jewish, i just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: But bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mtherfkers. Pigs sleep and root in sht, that's a filthy animal. I don't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? A dog eats its own feces
Jules: I don't eat dog either
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but it's definately dirty. But, dogs got personality, personality goes a long way.
Vincent: So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filty animal. Is that true?
Jules: We' have to be talkin' 'bout one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
