Don't like them. PEEYYEEWW..lol

should not eat anything from the pig? oh that's taking things too far, ma. but why are we talking chitterlings in the hamburger section? chitterlings hamburgers anyone?

i never tried them bc i could not get past the smell the times they were offered to me. but i was young then. i haven't had the chance since i grew up and tried things like frog legs, alligator tails, kangaroo meat, ostrich meat, raw sea urchin, etc. i mean i eat chorizo, livers etc. i'd try it.

No it's not taking things to far..Pigs have no sweat glands so why in the hell would a human eat it? whatever the hog eat it can't sweat it out..think about it. and humans eat whatever the hog takes in even if it's poison..

Black folks die everyday for high blood sugar, stroke and diabetes. The hog just adds to our death..

You don't have to believe me but keep eating that nasty hog and you will see as you get older..

Even the doctors are telling black folks to leave that hog alone.

Good post sister. Right on point.

Trichina is just one of the nineteen worms found in pigs, in addition to lice and several swine diseases such as, rickets, thumps, and mange.


The trichina worm is very simply -- deadly; and a thorough cooking of pig meat does not ensure its death.


In the March, 1950, issue of Reader?s Digest, Laird S. Goldsborough writes, ?In the pork which we Americans eat, there too often lurk myriads of baffling and sinister parasites. There are minute spiral worms which scientists call trichinella spiralis.?, ?...a single serving of infected pork -- or even a single mouthful, can kill, cripple or condemn the victim to a lifetime of aches and pains.?


For this unique disease of trichinosis, there is no certain cure or drug to stop them... not even today.


Dr. Goldsborough?s article went on to say, ?In the flesh of a pig, the trichinae are often so minute, and so nearly transparent, that to find them, even with a microscope, is a task for expert scientific inspection. Remember this, when you see stamped on a pork product the words, ?US Government inspected and passed?, those words do not mean that any official inspection has been made as to whether this pork is trichinous or not. It only means it has merely passed the routine inspection given meat in general.?


Dr. Maurice C. Hall as Chief of the Division of Zoology of the US Public Health Service commented, ?It appears to be a legitimate demand that, when a man exchanges dollars for pork, he should not do it, on the basis that he may be purchasing his death warrant.?


Senator Thomas C. Desmond, who served as chairman of the New York Trichinosis Commission stated, ?Physicians have confused trichinosis with some 50 ailments, ranging from Typhoid Fever to Acute Alcoholism.? Continuing, he states, ?That pain in your arm or leg may be arthritis or rheumatism, but it may be trichinosis. That pain in your back may mean a gall-bladder involvement, but it may mean trichinosis.?

in a word...

UGGHHH!!!
