It's funny... the side of my family who ate the most pork (rural folk, pork is cheap)... ZERO heart problems, no stroke, not anything that would indicate coagulated blood.
(talking grandparents here)
They ate generous amounts of both fresh non-cured pork and bacon. And always reserved bacon fat to cook in.
Both still mentally fully healthy, and alive in their mid 90's.
The other side of my family.
The city folks who were more "health conscious" and replaced pork/bacon with margarine and leaner foods when those fads came along, but still worked an active labor job.
Heart bypass... prostate cancer... Alzheimers in both... much poorer health in their later years.
Both deceased.
One just passed at 96.
The other passed several years prior.
The pork isn't worrying me.
Our body is our subconscious mind, and anybody who thinks that their conscious mind is running the show is seriously mistaken. In fact the conscious mind just may be the most narcissistic entity in the universe, it thinks it's running the show. It's not.

can do, pass me all that except the squidOriginally Posted by JoanieL
Here's the thing. If you vary your diet, none of this should be an issue. I feel that I eat a fairly limited range of food. Even so, salmon, squid, oysters, chicken liver, chicken meat, pork, beef, cheese, and eggs offer me enough choices that I wouldn't ever really need to eat any one of those things to excess.
So pass the pork steak - I haven't had any in days!

The cannibal tribes of the South Pacific referred to human meat as "long pork". Seriously.

Pork makes me nauseaus, ever since I was a kid. A piece of bacon very occasionally is all I can do. Don't care ... Plenty of other choices.

LOL. That alone will probably put me off pork for a month. But I can't help myself, I love bacon. I have cut way back on pork chops and such like that since reading about pork being so similar biologically, but bacon is my weakness.

Note to self: no squid in the bunker.
