I have never eaten pork. My dad stopped eating pork when he was in the Air Force. They did some experiments and there were parasites which didn't die after cooking it at extremely high temps! So, growing up not eating pork, I have no problems not eating it now.

Its been over a year since I have touch pork. For that matter its been a long time since eating pork or beef. I only eat chicken or turkey. I just ended up getting tired of eating pork and beef and decided one day I was not going to eat it again. Especially knowing its not exactly good for you either.

Many people in some countrys don't eat pork, but almost all eat pork include me. I think pork is the most delicious food, and there are many cooking method. Pork is nutritious and easily cooking. In china, pork is cheap and much. I like it, and it is inconceivable not eating pork one week.

my brother who is also a hypertensive candidate said: "i don't want to grow old," i was shock, because i didn't notice that my brother is vain. i ask him, "how is that, all of us grow old." he said: "i will eat and eat lechon so that i will die young." we burst out laughing.
just take care Freeze..

as well as here, it has not relationships. our pig farms here are not causing people H1N1 so i guess still it is safe to eat. just eat moderately. as we all know, anything in excess is harmful...
thanks you...

I would definitely continue eating it. I like the taste, and think that, like most things, if eaten in moderation, it is not terrible for you.

Yes I still eat pork and will still continue to eat it. If we quit eating everything that health researchers tell us is not good for us than we will not be eating anything. Different researchers have their opinions on all types of products that we eat and of course they do not agree on what we can eat that is not a health risk to us. I have heard that fresh vegetables can be a health risk and we use to hear how healthy they were for us. Might as well enjoy our life and eat what we want as none of it seems to be very healthy.

Hi, Alexysabelle. I still take pork. I like pork. May be will take less pork, but it is really impossible not to take pork for me. That is not much enough meat can take already, if pork also cannot take, what we want to eat, we still need some nutrition from it. Haha hoping that I will not become a pork body.

Hahaha, I'm guessing this is a Filipino person? It's cool, I'm Filipino too. So of course I eat pork! In fact, I just ate salt and pepper pork chop in a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch today. It was quite delicious with the sweet and sour sauce and fried rice x].

Yeah,definitely i will.The risk of getting unhealthy to eat pork, i think,is not high enough to spread panic to stop eating pork.Without pork,we may lose some delicacy.Some meals will be off-flavour without it.We can manage the health risk as long as those who take care of pigs are reponsible enough.

exactly! knowing that pork makes up for the a lot of good taste in our table to be enjoyed and shared by the family especially if there is a special occasion...
thanks-a-lot!

It isn't pork in particular that posses a health risk, it's saturated fats. It's true that pork has a high amount of saturated fat, but if you avoid pork and just indulge in more of the other meats, then its the same thing.
I still eat pork, but its in moderation. I also eat other meats in moderation. Pork isn't the problem, its too much meat in general. If you need to eat meat, try fish.

Well I never really stopped ,I love pork inspite of the health risk.Outside of chicken pork is my next favourite meat .I love it jerked and barbequed and sometimes stewed if it has a lot of pepper.I dont mind the health risk because I try to excercise and burn it off and I dont eat it a lot maybe one every week

Yes, I still eat pork. Those food that you mentioned are very delicious. I can't really blame people for eating pork. I grew up eating that meat, so it's really hard to get it out of my system. It would take a lot of determination for me to stop eating pork.

the results of some health expert is reliable because its due to the chemical ingredients that was included in their feeds it might cause some health problems to humans unlike before that we can feed pigs with anything seen in our back yards we are not using commercial feeds. So its only up to us how moderate we can eat pork.

I actually stopped eating Pork a few years ago. Not because of any health concerns. Eventually I went back to eating it anyway but not nearly enough to really be concerned about health risks. I would be more concerned about eating a rare steak than a peice of pork.
