Why I don't Eat Pork

By: Venus

When it comes to food, im far from picky. I believe in the 'try everything twice' motto. Ive tried squid and calamari (same thing, prepared different) and i can honestly say, trying to eat it makes me gag. Crab i will not eat due to an allergic ive had, Head cheese, tried it, it is not fucking cheese okay!! lets just clear that up!! Pigs feet, chicken hearts, Did i mention im not vegan (which is surprising to some people which is surprising to me), I love eggplant and veggie soups and what not, so don't get me wrong about my willingness to eat different dishes, actually with my dad being dutch, ive probably tried quite a few things that normally people wouldn't like salted herring and sauerkraut regularly. Im actually a bit of a foody but after years of bbq'd pork chops and Easter ham, one day i changed my mind completely about eating pig. It wasn't because of religious reasons or anything like that, My refusal to ingest that dirty meat came one day making macaroni salad for my daughter. I had purchased ham probably 2 weeks prior to this, and used half and froze the other half, for this salad i was unthawing the frozen half, which as most people know, it's much easier to cut meat at the near thaw stage. As i was doing this, these white 'worms' started sprouting out!! I was mortified!! I tossed that ham and decided 'never fucking again!' After this, i started doing some research on this crap! Turns out that pigs are parasite infested animals! They don't sweat so these parasites just build up inside of them. This is probably why they are considered 'dirty' since before jesus days. I mean call me crazy but do you really think that eating little parasites cooked or not is fucking healthy for you? And here comes the critics 'mmm protein' but my research brought me even deeper into this disgusting fucking so called 'food'. I've had people argue with me that 'there's no way that minced up, grinded pork meat like in sausage can possibly allow the survival of these parasitic worms' but i hate to break it to everyone, but they lay eggs, and these eggs will make it through whatever grind process you put them through being how minuscule they actually are. Its not just the actual worm you have to worry about! So you ingest these eggs, and if they hatch in your stomach or throughout your intestines, or even if they don't, they get absorbed into your bloodstream (yuck right), and even if they pass thorough your butthole, if you wipe and don't properly wash your hands, you can ingest them again! Now once they make it into your blood, they end up in your brain where they like to nest. Once they nest, the burrow holes in your brain. Remember how people used to say that drugs like ecstasy would burn holes in your brain? Thats what they used to think until many patients who had these holes in their brains never even tried drugs like ecstasy so that myth was debunked. Now this may seem farfetched to skeptics so i encourage you to look up things like ' Cysticercosis, Taenia solium, And Neurocysticercosis. Or just go on YouTube or Google and search up 'pork brain parasite' for yourself. So when I decided not to eat pork, it wasn't the eww factor of sprouting worms, it was the parasitic damage they cause afterwards. Here's a great informative website just on the topic alone, enjoy https://www.merckmanuals.com/en-ca/home/brain,-spinal-cord,-and-nerve-disorders/brain-infections/parasitic-brain-infections Venus
