Bacon

[HiTech]

Pork is horrendously fatty! The butchers may trim it better today, but it's loaded with fat. Beef that's marbled with fat can be a somewhat better health choice due to the amount of blood retained in the cell membranes. Venison is even better since it has virtually no marbling, same for squirrel, antelope, elk, etc. Now thats's lean meat... provided one can develop a taste for it.

Man, I love Venison! It is great. I have had some tender Venison steaks around here too. We get them up around Lake Lanier.

I get my venison from up around Lake Reindeer!
They are also referred to as Pennsylvania Jumping Beef!

Nigel-like, where?

 

[demeanor]

yeah, i agree with hero999, liver is substitute source of iron for those suffering with iron deficiency....i prefer liver than those capsules, atleast i can taste them before they get scrambled down in my stomach..

for bacon, i love them but they are rarely affordable most in third world countries such as where i am now. it is exclusive for the rich. but i agree that all bacon are "garbage" but i wish i could eat lots of them...

What?, you mean where do you get black pudding from?.

 

[Space Varmint]

You eat allot of bacon, you will be dead. That stuff will kill ya!

Bacon, sausage, black pudding, scratchings, pork, gammon - yum, yum!

Nothing is wasted except the squeal.

I don't eat pork, nor potatoes, nor apples, nor oranges, nor nuts, not mangos, nor sweet melons, nor soya. I drink goats milk, not cows milk, it's just not made for the human body that stuff.
A pig is a disgusting creature, almost as much as the human.
Did you know pigs have a special drainage channel that ends up between the hoofs. It helps to get rid of the muck in their systems, but these normally get clogged up, much like your arteries from consuming too much bad fat, so where does the muck go.
Into your bacon.
Where does the muck come from, simple, they eat it. yuck.

Seeds are good, you will never hear about a pigeon with high cholesterol.
If you must eat meat, eat fish, followed by chicken without the skin.

My opinion

It sounds like you have a very boring and unhealthy diet - half the things you've listed are actually good for you.

I you look at it that like that , vegetables are quite disgusting, they grow in soil which is made from rotten plants and feces.

Seeds are good, you will never hear about a pigeon with high cholesterol.

That depends on where you got your pidgin from, the ones in the town eat rubbish so I wouldn't touch one.

If you must eat meat, eat fish, followed by chicken without the skin.

Fish live in the sea which is polluted with all sorts of rubbish like heavy metals, plastic and both human and animal feces.

My point is that food is food. I actually have mixed views on the subject. Take gelatin for example, it's boiled down pork and animal bones, half of me thinks it's disgusting but the other half thinks it's perfectly reasonable to put it to good use.

I generally take the view that all food is is a load of chemicals and as long as you eat more of the ones which are good for you than the ones which aren't then it's fine. I couldn't care whether a sausage I'm eating contains pig's intestines, it tases good and as long as I don't eat much of it it's fine.

 

[arrie]

Some of those things might be healthy, but not to me, I'm allergic to them all.
If I really miss what the inside of a hospital is like, I eat those.

Yeah, you've made your counter point.

But I'm generally talking about pigeons(birds) in the wild, they eat seeds, and they are healthy because of the seeds (no cholesterol).
So my point was for seeds, not pigeons, I will not eat pigeons.bwhh.

funny I was under the knowledge that gelatin was made from ground cows hoofs.

 

[Hero999]

According to Wikipedia, it's mostly pig skin.

Yuck you might say but it's just another chemical, just like flour made from wheat grown in a field of animal and human feces.

Only animal in the UK, human isn't allowed.

Damn hero! You don't like anything. What the heck do you eat? Don't tell me. McDonald's. Oh now there's some healthy food.

Good lord! I didn't know that It used to be made with what Arrie said but I knew they changed it. Pig skin? Gross. I'm glad I never eat that stuff.

You need to eat many foods to be healthy.
Humans are not pigeons.

I think humans need some fat (with cholestrol) for good brain function. Does a pigeon have a brain??

I agree with you. Some cholestrol is good for the human body, but determining the good and the bad is sometimes difficult.

I think some pigeons have a brain, but I also think they are programed. Take the homing pigeons for example. The have a magnetic sensor that allow them to sense the magnetic lines of force from the earth. How else would they find there way home, when they are taken to a much different location.

As for bacon, I love it too, but don't eat very much. I have to watch my bad cholestrol.

That's not true, sludge routinely put on the fields.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/aug/29/waste.recycling

The public doesn't much like incineration, and landfill space is running out. So 68% of our sludge is applied to fields, a fact that translated into newspaper headlines last month as "human sewage [is] used for our cereals," beside a photograph of a woman eating cornflakes. Reader reaction was predictable. One commenter swore never to shop at supermarkets again. Another pronounced the practice "disgusting".

**broken link removed**

I don't see the problem with it, it's perfectly natural for plants to use faeces as fertiliser.

https://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/aug/29/waste.recycling

Like I said above, human faeces isn't allowed as fertiliser in the UK, the article is about the remaining sludge after processing - which is a completely different thing.

As the article also says, spreading human faeces on fields is standard practice in China.
