Much to my wife, Debra’s chagrin I have decided to stop eating pork. The pig is a very nasty creature. Pig’s bodies contain many poisons, worms and latent diseases. A pig will eat any kind of food, including rotten meat; worms boo boo, garbage etc.  There are religious reasons also for avoiding the consumption of pork.

In the book of Leviticus, Chapter 11,

   Verses 2 through 8, in particular, verse 7:

    1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2

    2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts

       which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

    3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the

       cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

    4. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or

       of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the

       cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

    5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the

       hoof; he is unclean unto you.

    6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the

       hoof; he is unclean unto you.

    7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet

       he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

    8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not

       touch; they are unclean to you.

Eating pork increases your blood pressure and cholesterol. Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. 
Blood pressure rises and falls during the day. When blood pressure stays elevated over time it is called high blood pressure. 
High blood pressure is dangerous because it causes the arteries to harden and the heart to overwork. As a result of high blood 
pressure other medical conditions can occur: congestive heart failure, kidney disease and blindness. 

Pigs are biologically similar to humans. There are people who eat human flesh and say that the flesh of a pig taste similar to the 
flesh of a human. People with insulin dependent diabetes usually inject themselves with pig insulin. A pig can catch the flu. 
Sausage contains bits and pieces of the pig’s lungs. If you undercook the pork you could catch the flu if the pig was infected. 

Remember Jesus cast out “evil spirits” and sent them into a herd of pigs, and then caused the pigs to jump over a cliff to their 
deaths. Just think, a great amount of the world’s population, throughout history has disagreed with eating pigs.

So what is the Pig’s price? YOUR GOOD HEALTH AND POSSIBLY YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!!

In the words of my dad: “Stay away from the pig ears and fried pork chops.  Eat more fruits and vegetables.”
