A post in Facebook about pork/pig. It caused me to rethink of eating pork again!
At least we seldom eat it for some months now; very very rare, unlike fish and chicken, along with vegetables which consist our main meals.
We had that change in "taste" for pork, when we became very conscious of our health.
According to the post, pig/pork is a very dirty animal, so it is usually infected with some parasites which are hard to "kill" even when cooked.
What do you think of this?

Fish and chicken are more healthy than pork meat. Grilled fish tastes really good!

They say it is hard to kill the parasite. But if the pig was raised clean, maybe it could not have that parasite.

I do not eat that much pork anymore unlike when I was young, it's simply not that appealing to me anymore, perhaps my body is telling me something. Oh about the parasites, yeah it happens but I do not let it bother me, never knew anybody personally who got it, I am more worried about the fat, high blood pressure, heart diseases and circulatory blocks.

Yes, it's the fats that we are afraid of; we should take care of our health.

Maybe their environment or the place where they are raised affects the mat quality. .

I have stopped eating pork for months while I was in the Philippines. But it's a different story in Korea lol.

Why? Are the pigs there raised clean or free from parasites?

@acelawrites Their pork tastes good even without any marinade. I do not know maybe it is ,like you've said, raised clean.

In fact pork is a very common meat here. It is not as expensive as the beef. And this is why we often have it for our meals. I don't think pork is a very dirty animal. It just depends how you raise them. In Europe the people even eat raw porks, hard to believe for us.

@acelawrites I also find it hard to believe. But I think they make sure the porks are clean enough.

Yes, if the surrounding or area where they are raised are clean, then there is no parasitic infection. I don't know they eat raw porks in Europe? It could be dangerous!

Not as much as I want to since I'm mindful of my health.

Yes, when we became conscious of our health, we avoid eating it as much as we could.

I understand, so pork or any kind of meat is a no-no for you.

Yes, some religious groups avoid eating it; or considered eating it as against their law; they consider pigs as dirty animals.

It is true; if the pigs are kept in a clean sty or area, then they will have clean meat too.

I don't know about that; there's conflicting "views" about pork; but if the doctor say so, it could be credible.
