Do you eat pork?

[DizzyDesii]

I’ve been trying to ease off of pork. I haven't eaten ham in a while. I’ve replaced hamhocks with smoked turkey. I never really liked bacon in the first place. I mourned over pork chops because I just started eating them a few years ago and am now back off them. Pork steak was never all that great. I’ve replaced pork sausage with turkey sausage. As for ribs, looking at them now disgusts me. Never thought I’d see that day lol. And beef ribs are just icky. I’m off the hot links and easing off the chili dogs (pork hot dogs). I tried beef dogs once and didn't like it but maybe again some day. The only weakness still gettin to me is pepperonis. I love those little bastards! I eat em 2-3 times a month.

On BBQs and special occasion only. So a total of 10-times-ish a year. I eat healthy most of the time. Eating pork or any meat once every 10 days in small portions wouldn't be a problem. Most important when it comes to diet! You must keep your metabolism active, eat less, 5-7 times a day. 3 main meals, and 4 in betweens, mostly fruits, oats, grains, low fat yoghurt and so on.

[DizzyDesii]

Well i learned something new today

[libsaretards]

I'm backing off of it. As I get older my body is having a harder time handling it.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i notice that too. Lets leave it alone together

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Never have, never will. Literally the most disgusting meat there is.

[DizzyDesii]

I love the taste but I've been sitting it aside

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Good. I think I might give all meat up

[DizzyDesii]

I said the same but i love beef too much

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

I can do without all of it tbh.

No, pork is not kosher. Since it violates both Leviticus 11:7 & Deuteronomy 14:8, I generally refrain from eating it.

In terms of my convictions as a Messianic, good works (as defined by Scripture, including the Torah) will not bring me to Paradise, since only faith in the Messiah will. But voluntarily complying with His instructions (even/especially the non-mandatory) with sincerity & without complaint should put a smile on His face, which is enough for me.

Yes, I miss American babyback-ribs, but Korean 갈비 ("galbi"; 「beef short-ribs」) are a great replacement.

On the beef hotdogs, is this the reason?

https://www.hebrewnational.com/kosher-beef-franks/beef-franks
As mentioned in the reviews, it seems that my go-to brand (Hebrew National®) has changed: What used to be 100% all-beef franks, now has soy-protein filler.

Little circles of bliss!

On pepperoni, the turkey-version also exists!

Good luck on your continued diet-change!

And in terms of gummies (since they are often made with pork), I buy Austrian-made Haribo® Kosher gummies via Amazon.
Do you eat pork? ↗

Turkish-made Halal version is also pork-free and is scattered across U. S. stores (among the original, German-made, pork-using version). Reading the labels is necessary to make sure you're buying the pork-free Halal version.

[N192K001]

Oops… wrong link. Here is the Amazon-link for the Kosher pork-free gummies:

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow i didn't know there was turkey pepperoni. Too bar the pizza shops dont offer it. And for hot dogs, i’ll come up with something, probably by Johnsonville or Ball Park

[N192K001]

Neither did I until just a few years ago. Now, I wish restaurants & frozen-pizza brands also carried those options! Until then, I guess I'm buying cheese, loading them with my own toppings, and firing-up the oven!

[LovingLoverReturned]

I thought i didn't lol, then i read the ingredients of hotdog usage... which I hate and rarely eat... but ate before..

Thankfully my family never liked it so I never really got it or a taste for it.

It just basically tastes like salty greasy meat, I can do without...

pepperoni is nice (a mix of beef and pork) but just eat another type of meat... the fact that processed meat , and worse yet processed red meats aren't healthy help me stay away.
You can eat fresh whole meats and season it up really nice and enjoy it... I haven't tried but I heard a vegan say Ohana's vegan burger tastes great (gourmet... they are not a vegan restaurant but they made a vegan burger), at least... in some places.

[LovingLoverReturned]

susage

[DizzyDesii]

The greasiness is my fave part lmao

[LovingLoverReturned]

Ylu can Put some oil on your other meat 🤭

[Hulk30]

no i dont and that's for different reasons not to say i dont eat meat at all but if ya actually read the holy bible it actually exposes the fact that are bodies weren't really designed to take in lots of meat also i noticed that eatin meat only once a week on saturdays actually does miracles for my body keeps me super lean which actually keeps the women lookin and brings out the freak in em as well and i say all that not to say i do everything for women quite contrary but at the very least i keep women in mind with my energy on a spiritual level which is why i stay winnin in the datin game to begin with

I've dropped in excess of 80 lbs on a mostly meat diet so not sure about that. Consuming high fat and moderate protein and little carbs creates ketones that burn fat like crazy. People on keto have been proven to have a higher brain function and are far less likely to become diabetic than people of any other dietary lifestyle. My dad reversed his type 2 with it as well.

[yosef999]

It's the most disgusting thing on the planet!! It's an animal who can literally eat his own shit if it's hangry!! It will eat rotten corpses , it can eat any disgusting thing that can cross your mind, plastic, paper, garbage literally ANYTHING
Like half of his meat is fat and 38% of them humans can't digust that causes huge amount of cholesterol to build up in your body.
Pig's get rid of only 2% of there uric acid and the rest distribut through his tissue and his meat i don't think have to explain.
If you'll really interested to know what are you eating just search it and don't bother yourself to start a argument i have a problem in this app i can't reply to anything :''

[DizzyDesii]

I already said above that i was quitting pork

[TheUniqueOne96]

No.

I were raised religious and things like pork, alcohol, etc were completely out of question and despite not believing in religion, none appeal to me at all.

A few years ago, I were out and some girl next to me was eating a bacon sandwich and it smelt horrible, almost felt like I were going to throw up.

You can get it in different forms, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea alcohol doesn't appeal to me and pork no longer appeals to me

[lilyanony1]

I haven't been eating much bacon for about a year but I treated myself to some parma ham to make my pizzas a month ago.
I also had pork tenderloin for two nights in a row.
They were actually really nice...

Generally pork is a quick and lean meat if prepared right.
But people tend to sweeten and have the fattier pieces

[DizzyDesii]

Do you eat pepperoni on pizza?

[lilyanony1]

I do but I haven't done for quite some time
When I made my pizzas recently it was parma ham

[Lliam]

Oh yeah! Bacon, Canadian bacon, pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, baked ham (also make a great addition to some bean or veggie soups), pork chops, prosciutto, sausage, pepperoni, BBQ pork fried rice and chow mein, ...
BBQ baby backs are one of my favorite foods in the world. And I can eat my weight in good Korean dwaejibulgogi.
When I make spaghetti sauce, I use Italian sausage.

I don't eat pork all that regularly but I don't have any problem with it. It can be delicious.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea baby back just haven't been good this year in my opinion. So its helping me to quit them

[NathanDavis]

pork is a religion in Mexico, so yes... and the best, my favorite tacos anyway, are made with pork

marinated, slowly cooked/roasted, pulled glorious pork... lol

simple, sheer happiness... never in excess though, besides some good tacos two or three times a month, I don´t usually consume pork in other styles, but I am not against it

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaha stop tempting me lol. I saw this tampa restaurant the other day that look like they made good pork tacos. I think it was called Crazy Burrito

[NathanDavis]

stay away from Tampa... lmao

[DizzyDesii]

Oh gosh whats wrong with it? I wanted to go to busch gardens

[NathanDavis]

no, I mean... stay away from great tacos... because you will want to keep coming back, lmao

[DizzyDesii]

Ohhh haha

[HighlyVolatile]

I eat a lot of pork but mainly because beef is so expensive in Japan (maybe 3 to 4 times the price in the US). Pork and chicken are very cheap so I eat a lot of pork, chicken, and fish.

If it wasn't for the cost, I'd always favor a steak over pork chops and far more often beef roasts over pork roasts, but it's a bit expensive if I did that all the time. I do love a good pork belly though with very crispy skin along with baby back ribs.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea pork is cheaper but as i get older, im more willing to pay the extra cost for healthier foods

[HighlyVolatile]

Is pork considered unhealthy here? Here it's usually not considered so bad. We don't eat such fatty types though like greasy bacon (we tend to favor more lean ham). We also eat a lot of the organs as well as pork liver and heart. It's also a staple food in Okinawa (they eat lots of pork and cook everything in lard) where people tend to live over 100 years old.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea but more so on the heart disease end

[HighlyVolatile]

I see -- I wonder if it has to do with how fatty pork can be. I think our pork tends to be leaner perhaps given the difference in how they're farmed. Actually it's beef here that tends to be very fatty (ex: wagyu) and served with loads of butter and so forth -- delicious but extremely fatty!

[Kaamraj]

Yes I do, pork and good quality pork is difficult to find in my country in butcheries, but we get processed meats like sausages, salami slices, bacon, etc. and I enjoy that. Funny thing is that lots of people buy it and don't know that it's not chicken.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow

[t-8900]

Yes I do eat pork and it's helped me lose weight and stay healthy along with lots of beef mostly and shrimp. I eat less poultry due to the low fat content and high protein which spikes blood sugar. Since I'm in the habit of building ketones to keep weight down and keep my blood sugar, hypertension, and anxiety in check I mostly eat beef, probably 4 days a week at least. I might eat pork like 1-3 times a week. But I love red meat most. Beef, bison, elk, venison

[DizzyDesii]

I like beef as well but you dont worry about too much leading to gout?

[t-8900]

It's a myth, not true. There are plenty of people on the carnivore diet that way strictly beef and nothing else and have no issues. To get gout from eating need your uric acid would already need to be very high or you'd have to have some preexisting health conditions

[kellytheman]

Yeah that probably my favorite meat actually I just had some thick pork chops for dinner last night. As a Iowan (person that lives in Iowa) we have to eat pork because are state is the leading producer of pork and hogs/pigs in the country. Every country fair we have a big fence with the biggest hog in Iowa and they always weigh over 800 pounds. I also love bacon, ribs and hotdogs/brats.

[DizzyDesii]

Holy smokes! And i actually like brats

[Guido]

I eat lots of pork. Usually back bacon, always cook a ham for Easter and New Years Day dinners, regularly have pork loin chops or a pork roast to make pulled pork.

Pork is a lot cheaper then beef these days so it makes the budget go a lot further.

[DizzyDesii]

The pork doesn't effect your health?

[Guido]

Not at all. I trim the fat and use lean cuts of pork loin. The back bacon is very lean and healthy. Proper cuts and cooked right makes a good meal. And the glazed ham is absolutely delicious. My kids make sure to be here when we cook one as they wouldn't miss a meal of it.

[20yearsolder]

Yep, I love it. I raised hogs, had them as pets until it was time to butcher them

[DizzyDesii]

Omg did you shed a tear

[20yearsolder]

Nope, I knew from the beginning that they were being raised for food

[BLP11520]

Not very often, I like ham and shy away from bacon. Doctors say bacon is one of the worst foods to eat.

[DizzyDesii]

Ham is full of sodium so both honestly

[loveslongnails]

Yes, I eat pork, but only from farmers who are designated humanely raised, biologic, or the equivalent of free range (as with chickens). Many of the biggest meat processors, like Smithfield, keep the pigs in stalls where they can't move. They just eat, shit and get slaughtered. That meat is horrible.

Someone below said "literally the most disgusting meat there is". Hmmm. Not by a long shot in my opinion, unless you're eating Smithfield, Oscar Mayer, Triumph or Seaboard.

[Кураж]

Pretty much every day lol.
This is how my average dinner plate looks like:

[DizzyDesii]

Holy smokes

[Uptowngirl88]

Is steak considered pork? If so 1x a month or 1x every 2 months. I like to order steak teriyaki from those hibachi places.

Other than that no I don't eat pork. It's usually turkey , fish, or chicken

[Uptowngirl88]

For some odd reason I've never understood the fascination with ribs

[DizzyDesii]

Steak is usually from a cow. Pork is from a pig

[Uptowngirl88]

I'm not gonna lie I did not know that🤣. I do eat turkey bacon like twice a year

[n4meAL]

me and all my family never eat pork because it's disgusting

[DizzyDesii]

Fair enough
