The dangers of pork
JewishAmericanPatriot:
That first post reminds me of things my Italian grandmother used to tell me, lol.
Ulli:
--- Quote ---There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts and eggs will be killed.
--- End quote ---
Wrong! All proteins break at ca 70 degree celsius temperature.
--- Quote ---Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef and people that consume pork products all the time tend to be overweight and unhealthy.
--- End quote ---
True! But the gain of weight depends on your physically work. I.e. there are farmers in Switzerland on the mountains, who eat much more sausages and ham than every other people and they didn't gain weight, because they work so hard. Actually they are very skinny.
--- Quote ---
Pigs are so poisonous that you cannot kill them with strychnine or other poisons.
--- End quote ---
This is wrong. Strychnine is a neurotoxin. It will kill any pig very fast.
--- Quote ---Shellfish consists of lobster, shrimp, oysters, clams, crabs, scallops, and mussels. All shellfish can be a serious health risk. Like pigs, they are scavengers that live at the bottom of the ocean and eat the waste of other animals and the waste that is pumped into the ocean.

Some of this is true, but you put thousands of species in a container.
Scallops filtrate the water and they take a lot of poisons out of them.
But there are other species like lobster and crabs that basically live like fishes.
I think the sentence of Tzvi is right (for Jews):
--- Quote ---All non-kosher foods have a negative effect on the spiritual "body" of the person, the Tzelem, which is also connected to the physical actually.
--- End quote ---
But this sentence is wrong:
--- Quote ---But about it being also disgusting, etc. I would also like to add that non-kosher beef for example also is disgusting because w/o the proper koshering method all the liquids remain in the animal. That is why their are those who say that non-kosher beef is tastier then kosher.
--- End quote ---
People are willing to pay much higher prices for kosher animals than to non kosher animals. I mean a kilo of pork is a lot of cheaper than a kilo of beef.
This is obviously true. If pork would taste better than beef it would be contrariwise, because more people would like to buy pork than beef.
I personally prefer kosher animals. The taste is better and the texture is better.
Pork you can only make tasty by doing lots of cooking tricks with it.
But beef, goat or sheep you can put in the pan with only oil, salt and pepper and it is devine. :)
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
"People are willing to pay much higher prices for kosher animals than to non kosher animals. I mean a kilo of pork is a lot of cheaper than a kilo of beef."
I meant the same animal (one properly killed and salted, the other not).

Oh sorry. I apologize.
Sefardic Panther:
Pheasant those swiss farmers are probably very skinny because they have worms from all the pork they eat.
I advise people to research the above facts I posted. The diseases people can get from eating pork and the diseases men can get from not being circumcised are very serious! Trichinosis, cancer and syphilis are very difficult or impossible to cure. Is Hashem punishing people for not fallowing the Torah?
Yeshayahu 66:17 –
Hamithqadshim wehamitaharim el-haganoth ahar ahath batawech ocheley besar hahazir wehasheqets weha'achbar yahdaw yasufu neum-Ahdoshem
(Those who sanctify and purify themselves, in the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, detestable things, and the mouse, will perish together, says G-d)
Shabat shalom and enjoy your kosher meal tonight!
