pork and shellfish

[joshua 1 9]

Yes, there is. As just one example we now know that pork is OK to eat. So is shellfish. In the case of pork, all you need do is cook it enough.

The problem with pigs is that they eat just about anything. They are scavengers and they are not worried about toxins. They actually are not able to remove the toxins from the food and it gets stored in with the fat. The problem then is two fold. First you have fat to deal with and that is not good in terms of cardio disease. Second you have the toxins that are in the fat that could be a carcinogen and a cause of cancer. You have the same problem with shell fish, toxins & carcinogens. The shell is a filter to filter the nutrients out of the water. Only problem is the toxins get filtered out also. In fact science uses shell fish to determine how much toxins are in the water of rivers. Science has established a good cardio diet, they are still working on a diet to remove the toxins and carcinogens that have varying degrees of risk for causing cancer.

I know that people argue that you can eat so called organic pigs and fish, sense so much of that if farmed. They claim they can control the toxins with the food they feed them. But wild food is better then farmed food because of the often poor quality of the feed. But I do not want to turn this into a organic food discussion.

Of course if you do not care how long you live and what you die from then eat whatever you want. Even when the time comes some people still don't care. But others decide they want to live and they start to eat right so they can maintain good health. So we all have that choice, life or death, sickness or health. God give us that choice to make.

I've been to pig farms for weeks at a time and inside
hog production enclosures. Toxins are not on the menu.
Poor food is not an efficient option for hog raising.

I'll eat swine on occasion, but if you were to try and get me to eat filthy scavengers like crab/lobster/shrimp/prawns you'd have to do it at gunpoint, and even then I'm not 100% convinced I'd do it.

That is what my wife says. They use to raise their own pig, they saved it for special events. She said they knew what that pig ate so they were not worried about it. So this sounds like an argument for organic farming. Food is safe as long as it is grown or raised properly. If you were to go to a fast food and get a ham my guess would be that it was not raised properly as they are trying to keep the prices down to compete with the other fast food restaurants. In general we cook all our own food so we know what we are eating and I try to avoid processed food and esp processed food that is from fast food restaurants.

The champions of eating just about anything are goats, but they are considered 'clean'.

That would not be a good guess. Fast food chains have a huge liability
situation regarding food safety, health, and reputation. They are subject
to endless examination by government and consumer groups as well.

If you are concerned about food quality, it's the individual restaurants
that may or may not cut corners. Nutritionally, people need to do their
homework on what they eat.

And tasty in a curry!

So no recipes then? Aw....

I am not allowed to eat any processed foods. My instructions are to: "eat food, not to much, mostly plants". So now I am eating right, I just have to cut my portions down and condition myself to eat the right amount. There is a general guideline that applies to everyone and then of course we need to adjust the diet to fit out needs. If you got 20 stints you may want a very low fat diet. If you have a sugar reading over 300 you may want a very low sugar diet that is high in fiber. Esp as we get older if we want to be healthy we have to eat right.

Would a goat eat anything if it can make choice? I don't think so.
Pig does not eat grass.

Indeed. Contrary to the stereotype, pigs can actually be quite picky eaters unless they are starving. However, the preservatives used in sausage, bacon, etc. are known to be carcinogenic, and the reason we still use them is that nothing else works quite as well, and the alternative is botulism.

So we get to choose between food poisoning and botulism?

I still eat bacon anyway. But don't forget the third option of not eating the pork products preserved that way.

As a general rule people that want to live long need to learn temperance. Diet often needs to be customized for each individual. If someone has 20 stents they may want to cut back on eating a lot of meat or fat in their diet. If someone has a blood sugar over 300 they may want to cut back on processed carbs and eat more whole food with more fiber to slow down their sugar spikes.

If someone has 20 stents...

What's a stent?

I prefer a 60 year happy existence than achieving 100 by ruining a ton of the things I take joy in.

they put them in major vessels to prevent plaque clots

 

[Care563]

I thought I heard that pigs don't sweat and that is why they are so full of toxins..?

That is an option, because cardio disease is fairly symptom free right up to when you have your heart attack. Some people decide to eat right when they are given a second chance and some decide not to. About 25% stick with the program for up to five years. 50% go through rehab and 50% of the graduates stick with the program. Some people have a full recovery, some have a partial recovery. I have one friend that is enjoying a pretty good recovery and he is excited to get out and get active again and to be adding years to his life.

For me I do not like the toxins in my food. I believe if I eat better food then my brain is a lot more clear and I can think a lot more clearly. Although there maybe people on here that do not go along with that Some people like to take drugs and drink and they seem to enjoy their confusion. College kids who need to think clearly often have the worst diet and drink the most. Perhaps it all does not catch up with them until later on in life.
