we are disgusting !! look what we eat pigs !! Pork !! the worst meat in the world as mentioned in quran.

It is very interesting how food can so drastically shape much of the world's domestic and foreign policy, thank you FP.

Ugly but true things.

Food is sunlight in locked organic tissue. If it's organic, its food to someone. The issue isn't food, its fair share. We won't solve it until we can control our urges and control population growth. Lovely strategies denied by our inner neaderthal.

Food is food and you are what you eat.

There's a slant to this one about KFC that it's only Middle Eastern countries who protest by attacking KFC. BAck in the 80's, I recall hearing that terrorists in Peru used to bomb KFCs in Lima regularly. As I heard it, they would go in with guns blazing, tell everyone to get out, and blow it up. So, there are other precedents!

Personally I would rather spend a few minutes and use a few simple dessert recipes than dine on the swine. Just my opinion though.

Pigs are not discusting, they give us bacon!! Worship the bacon!

That pig photo is fantastic.

I find it interesting that China has a normal granary for pork. I guess that that makes sense as the first historical normal granary (AKA ever-normal granary, AKA buffer stock scheme) appears to have been under the Song dynasty.

Even though we have industrialized agriculture, it's still at the mercy of the weather.
The point of a normal granary is to stabilize food supply and price. It removes some of the risk from farming where you're damned if you 'do' (good year - over supply and prices crash) or 'don't' (bad year - under supply, prices soar, but little to sell).

The US had one, created under the pre-WWII FDR administration, but we (IMO sadly) gave it up under the Nixon administration to lower food prices (short term price effect, but long term enough to remove food prices as an election issue). We'd do well to go back to it, especially now, particularly in the face of global warming, which brings with it more chaotic weather patterns.

I generally used to stay away from pork because of my religious beliefs. I always had a thought that apart from meat nothing can be done. However, I have changed my attitude, after reading Tajine’s comments about the way making methane digesters using plastic pallets or sort of large septic like tanks to convert the manure to methane.

pork has a high cholesterol content. It makes one fat.. I'd rather eat chicken meat...

If we REALLY are what we eat, maybe i should never eat pork again. The image makes me sick. But we can't deny that meat is required for human being. We work for food.
It sounds strange but i come up with the idea that why we don't motivate employees by give them extra food or something related.
Just a idea :)

I definitly agree with word "you are what you eat". when you are eat bad thing, so it would influence your body and you mind.

And so what? I eat a lot of pork, because it tastes better then chicken and it's much nutrient. Do you think chickens are "clean" food. Have you ever seen where a chicken farm and what they eat. A chicken is made from egg to dunner for ONE month, do you think this is healthy? Everything outside the breag bags is not as clean, but who cares. 1 bill. people are starving and we started thinking why are we eating pork? At least we can!

And how about the hamburgers with "meat", do you know what are they made from? Do you still think we are what we eat? :D

A future where we eat insects? Not a future I'd look forward to. There's a big push to grow foods locally and Rocky Creek Austin is certainly no exception. Some places are more hotbeds than others. But as the food wars heat up being able to not rely on the local grocery store is going to be key. Plus natural foods are far better building blocks for the body than processed foods.

And to remark about some of the other comments pork is a dirty meat because they roll around in mud and their own feces much of the time. Plus they're packed together in close quarters and don't get much exercise.

There is an error in this article: The Canadian harp seal is -not- endangered, and is classified as a species of 'least concern' by the IUCN. Hunting animals is far more humane than birthing a streroid-pumped animal in a prison, making it grow so fast its legs can fracture, and then killing it without ever having seen sunlight.

You can argue for the humane nature of vegetarianism in general (and I think you'd be right), but picking on the seal hunt in particular is just shallow concern for what's attractive/cute, not for what's right.

Yes, seals are cute, but they're not endangered in Atlantic Canada where most of our seal hunt takes place. The estimated size of our harp seal population—the seals hunted for their meat and pelts in this country—is 5.6 million. That's not endangered. It's definitely a controversial topic, but misinformation doesn't help anyone's argument.

We can't solve it until we are able to Adam Gardner control our urges and management population growth.

It is truly unbelievable just how many pigs China has! No pun intended...1 pig for every 3 people, that's amazing. I really had no idea that pork was the worldwide brands that represents China as far as meat goes. And like other people said, there is so much different kind of "pig meat": bacon, pulled pork, BBQ pulled pork, ham, etc - these are some of the most popular meats in America!

How did they get so many pigs anyways, do they breed them or something?

Either way, it's truly unbelievable that they have more pigs than the next 43 countries combined - there must also be a lot of mud in China!

If you took pork away from China, that huge empire would crumble. Every chinese person I know venerates pork and I challenge anyone to say that Dim Sum made from anything else aside from pork tastes good, because it simply does not.
With the fat taken off , I think lean pork meat is every bit as healthy as chicken.
But .....what would the old pork roast be without the crackling on the top?

The issue isn't food, its honest share. We can't solve it until we are able to control our urges and management population growth. Adam Gardner Pretty strategies denied by our interior neanderthal.

It has to be a fact that almost all meat is intensively reared as there isn't enough to go round, in spite of attempts to grow the animals organically. This inevitably leads to disease, followed by necessary culling either before or after it has spread to us humans!

Pigs are natuarally very clean animals in spite of their appearance and I really wish I could be a vegetarian but I'm afraid I just love all kinds of animal meat, particularly pork.

We are what we eat and are omnivores - we need the protein and even some of the fat. Yum, crispy crackling!

Food is just a part of our lifestyle. If it has to change, it will for survival but why should we if we don't have to? One man's meat is another poison. rover north

Whether its the pork or not is the issue, we need to watchful of what we it. Its not being conservative or what on how to take care yourself now if you would want to be a part of the future.
