Why many of people eat pork?

[amirhp]

do you know disadvantages of pork? if "yes" why eat it?

[NearlyNapping]

Looking at your comments...

Have you ever lived on a farm with pigs? I have. Pigs are NOT dirty animals. They are cleaner than many other animals, like cattle. If a farmer puts animals in unclean environments, that's the farmers fault, not because the animal is less clean than others.

Will a pig eat a variety of food? Yes. But that doesn't mean it's unclean, it just means it has a versatile diet - you know, kind of like humans. Animals take in nutrition from various sources, and turn it into something else. Whatever they ate no longer exists. It becomes something different. Even when we eat vegetables or fruits, we are eating recycled animal carcasses, decayed plants, animal poop - it's what we generally call dirt. It is no longer any of those things, it is something else.

pigs are not dirty animals... a common misconception but they are no dirtier than most animals

since we can cook our foods at a temperature that kills all dangerous bacteria there really isn't any danger in eating pork.

to me a bigger question is why people eat veal

[CocoRachelle]

Some people like the taste. There are tons of other things people eat all over the world that make others go "Really"? Like certain delicacies (caviar, raw fish - sushi, bone marrow, live octopus tentacles, fried locusts, etc).. What other people eat doesn't effect me. Bacon tastes really good, and I miss it sometimes. But I no longer can eat meat. I have a hard time digesting protein.

[kaylaS91]

Because it's delicious and a good source of protein. I don't eat it often because it's pretty fatty as far as I know, but I enjoy it when I do have it.

No matter how you think about it, pigs are a rather dirty animal. They are considered the scavengers of the farm (created to eliminate any waste on the farm), often eating anything they can find. This includes not only bugs, insects, and whatever leftover scraps they find laying around, but also their own feces, as well as the dead carcasses of sick animals, including their own young.

[kaylaS91]

Not many animals are 'clean'. Have you seen the environment most live in at farms, whether it be cows, chickens, sheep, etc? I don't think about the life-style or diet of my food before I eat it. If that were the case, I might as well think of how the animals would feel about my eating them, and turn vegan out of guilt. Also, cows regurgitate what they've eaten and eat it again at least once... not exactly the most 'classy' behaviour either, eh?

I eat pork and enjoy it and i also love bacon and egg butties with brown sauce so why ask and any way if people knew half of what goes into food nowadays they wouldn't eat at all

it doesn't bother me we are going to die of some thing one day

[33adam]

Bacon meet is just very tasty, Parma ham love it or pork medalion roast with dried prunes is just too delicious. I wouldn't share the opinion that pork meat os lesser valuable than other meets, at least has not to much antibiotics and hormons in comparison to poultry and beef. And is not as fatty as lamb meet. However I would recommend to all eat lots of seafood, that the most healthy food and grate source of omega 3 and 6 acids.

[jraje]

I guess it's because they were brought up eating pork. My mom never buys pork or beef so I don't eat it. She occasionally buys chicken, fish, and seafood for my sister and little brother though.

[RedThread]

Because it's delicious? Although if I come at this using logic and reason that is not the only reason.. I hear whale meat is delicious but I wouldn't eat that. I guess it's part of my culture? It's plentiful and if you eat it sparingly then it won't negatively effect you.

Well lets see I'm from the south we eat pork on a normal basis why one its cheap two its good and three ever heard of BBQ really and most of our vegetables even have pork in them for flavoring people here eat pigs feet and Bologna and chitterlings and yes we all know what it is and where it came from oh and hog head cheese is a thing here I don't know just saying

[Sara413]

I eat pork because pigs are magical, delicious creatures!

Meh. Still delicious!

[Anonymous]

I am vegetarian ;) I dont eat any meat. Man!! Any animal can be dirty just because they are pigs does not mean they are dirtiest of all. Such a stupid ancient question.

[Bards]

1 they eat garbage
2 its not healthy like chicken
3 can make you sick

[Mesonfielde]

And that is why you cook or fry it like any other meat *eyeroll*

[Bards]

@Mesonfielde because fried food is soo healthy :)

[Mesonfielde]

Well i sure am not eating it raw o_o

[Bards]

@Mesonfielde what the fuck made you think I meant eating it raw? Meat doesn't have to be raw to make you sick.

[Mesonfielde]

... hasn't happened to me before and I have eaten pork before a few times so eh

[Bards]

@Mesonfielde O. K.
Great comeback.

[Mesonfielde]

Okay okay, technically eggs can make you sick, milk can make you sick, even water can make you sick if it's contaminated. I'm not sure if there's anything in the world that cannot make you sick at all under any circumstances whatsoever. Anyways, this is a pointless argument, I'm fine with pork, and I think the only reason why it bugs me if someone claims they don't eat pork is because some particular religions made it a doctrine and I think that's just excessive and silly. I'ma just eat some bacon instead :p

[In-sight-ful]

Because pork is delicious and bacon is gods gift to humans. And its not like were eating their stomach contents or eating them straight off the farm raw. Plus you cook it...

[Mesonfielde]

Because pork is meat like any other meat, and good quality pork is really delicious!

We got past the stone age so I would assume most people can afford to eat it not-raw.

[BrieLove]

rarely do i eat pork i normally don't like to eat pork because well your eating a pig! it feels gross when i eat pork because i think of the little pigs. T^T

[Littlett25]

I only eat it if I have to, I don't like the taste.

[Anonymous]

Do you know the disadvantages of (your) religion... why do you follow it.

Please inform me of the evils of pork as you have been taught to hate.

[Scrambledagain]

Pork is amazing. And it's damn healthier for you than most things.

[douride2]

Please enlighten us on the disadvantages of eating pork.

[vekin]

almost 2 years ago I stopped eating pork (not completely honestly)

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Sometimes but usually no

[mutedaisy]

Bacon is sinfully delicious.

[9mfeo]

[CourtJester]
