Who want to eat a scavenger like pigs when there are so many other choices in the meat shelves at the local grossery?
To eat pork you can likely eat rats and lizzards and other creepy animals they also are full of worms and viruses not healthy for us as humans. We become what we eat, remember that!!! And the last but not least, what we eat also effect our soul so to maintain a good body and soul we have to eat clean and healthy food.

Now I have no particular religion but have read all the (very long winded) books and I believe Jesus said "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Which to most people must suggest he feels you should follow the Old Testament unless for some reason the rules changed.
I shall go eat pork happily, I have no one to tell me off… But Chris.. you really should feel a touch guilty and not just because of the calories

Chicken obviously has more protein, but Pork ain's doing bad at 18g per 96 cal. serving.

Thanks for another great article. This comment is about pork or bacon causing heart disease… it is in the presence of EXCESS CALORIES that our bodies go haywire… don’t “flood the system” (imagine a light rain on your garden vs. a heavy rain which causes a puddle) which means DO NOT OVEREAT whether it be carbohydrates, saturated fat, or protein!!! The solution is not to vilify a single nutrient, but to include ample amounts of cardio-protective fruits and vegetables along with daily activity in the context of a eucaloric diet (one that meets BUT NOT EXCEEDS your energy needs). To eat a diet with too many calories, thereby accumulating excessive bodyfat and a dysfunctional metabolism (insulin resistance and dyslipidemia), and then place the blame on a single factor such as saturated fat is INCORRECT. People do this and then go to the other extreme and say “we must cut out evil bacon” vs. trying SMALLER AMOUNTS OF BACON in the context of a “healthy diet” (not excessive in calories).

yes pork is great if chops are not over cooked, with a bit of pink. as to fat, it is what makes pork great even if you do not like to eat it one needs a little fat from like pork too and some evo oil. we cook ours in olive oil great. i do not like any over trimmed cut of meat!!! will not buy it as i say where is the fat!
