I have heard many people say they don't eat pork and wondered what's their beef w/ the other white meat. I did some research (self proclaimed science nerd) and it makes sense to me now.
The old Testament forbade eating pork and for legitimate reasons. Pigs have fast acting rudimentary digestion that allows them to eat anything, ie slop, swill, excrement...which goes thru a simple stomach and is excreted in 4 hours. Cows, deer, goat etc. feast mostly on veggies and chew cud so that their digestive time is closer to 24 hours.
If you are what you eat then cutting out nature's garbage cleaners or pigs is advisable. The twist for me is shellfish are bottom feeders dining on fish waste, and analyzing their meat is a great indicator of water pollution b/c they are little water cleaners. I love crab, lobster, and shrimp and will just have to mentally block out their poopy diet the next time and indulge in them.
