fiat_money;178604 said:I watched both videos. Neither supported your claim that "the pig has more diseases than any other animal".
The first video was of a preacher describing the pig's diet and digestive process. Firstly, he attempted to use the fact that pigs will scavenge as a means to declare them unfit for consumption, however turkeys will scavenge and goats will attempt to eat almost anything if left alone; additionally, catfish, crabs, lobsters, and shrimp already do so in the wild. Secondly, he tried to compare the pig's digestive process with that of a cow, to imply there was some significance in the differences. When in all actuality, cows are herbivores, while pigs are omnivores, it takes considerably longer to digest grass, because plants such as grass have cell walls; which can not be broken down easily. This is why humans can't eat grass, we can't digest it. So of course different animals with different diets, will have different digestive systems, there no significance in it, for it is accepted that cows and pigs are not the same.
The second video was of another preacher who was trying to use the fact that pigs will eat feces as a means to declare them unfit for consumption. What it seems he doesn't know is that the feces of herbivores is full of semi-digested matter; which contains a lot of nutrients, and corophagia is quite common in the animal kingdom.
But the reason both videos fail, is that commercially domesticated pigs are not fed feces or carrion; so it's moot to use "what they would eat, if able to" to claim that their meat is somehow soiled as a result.
So, do you have a proof to support your "the pig has more diseases than any other animal" claim? Or is it anti-pork rhetoric?

have you ever smelled the house or skin of someone who eats a lot of pork. not pleasant.

fiat_money;1733168 said:Most anti-pork arguments are supported by common-repeated anti-pork rhetoric, that's irrelevant when talking about the meat of commercially-domesticated pigs in the US.
Vintage anti-pork argument ether:
Word, I don't eat pork, but I don't use bullshit to try to "justify" it.mostvigorousone;1733368 said:This^ and all that stuff he quoted
What's the point of the rhetoric? People treat pork hate like a religion.
To answer the thread, it's wrong b/c anything with that much flavor can't be right. But being the gluttonous people we are, many of us are willing to be "wrong."
Truthfully though, it should be eaten in moderation as someone said a few posts up.

People have different reasons, some hypocritical and others completely valid.
