why do people eat pork? i went to my nutritionist and they said that pork is the worst food u can eat... its because pigs dont have sweat glands and so they keep all their toxins in their body... sooo gross...

    If I were you, I'd worry about the education my nutritionist had, because while no, pigs don't have sweat glands, it's a myth that they keep toxins in their body which ruins the meat.

    wow. :) Honestly, she/he told you an untruth.\\


    BTW: Chickens and fish don't have sweat glands either. :)

    ummm, I would fire your source... pork contains less fat than a chicken breast. It contains vitamins such as B6, B12, niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin and one serving contains half of your daily protein requirement.

    MMM DELICIOUS BACON TOXINS

    I'd fire your nutritionist. Maybe they should spend some time studying basic animal biology. Or maybe PETA brainwashed them.

    Who knows...

    Anyways, I'd say the only GOOD reason to avoid pork for anyone is if they're limited to kosher meats.
