Answers:
There are country hams and city hams, I prefer country hams!. The country hams are dry cured and uncooked, the city hams are what most people are familiar with, they are cured with a brine and may be cooked or uncooked!. There are other kinds of hams in other countries!.

There are also different cuts of ham!. One can get a whole ham or a half ham or any other size slice or chunk!. If one buys a half ham they should chose the shank as the meat is better than the butt portion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm 63 and I'll never forget buying my first ham when I was in my 20's!. Little did I know what type to buy and so I bought a Smithfield ham!. These hams are cured in salt and have to have the salt boiled out before baking!. I did not know this and I baked it instead without getting rid of the salt!. It was inedible and even the dogs wouldn't eat it!. I like a nice spiral ham with the bone for all the flavor with a fruit glaze (your choice of favorite fruit)!. Happy ham hunting

Go vegetarian and do not buy any ham!. Did you not just see the article about how the pigs at a pig raising farm were being tortured!?
Pigs are equal in intelligence to chimps and higher than dogs!. No wonder they scream and fight when dragged into the slaughterhouse!.

Your body is designed for a vegetarian diet!. The human intestines are 16-29 feet long and winds round and round!. This is typical of a herbivore (grass eaters)!. Carnivores always have short, straight intestines!. This means they pass out the write from the meat before it rots!. In humans it remains in the digestive system too long!.

Each and every day animals are being abused just so we can eat them!. They are being shot full of hormones and antibiotics and we are ingesting this poison!.
People say, well the Bible says we should eat meat but the fact is it says to do so only in times of famine!. Check out the web sites I've listed and at least think about it!.
You don't have to become a vegan but at least consider becoming a vegetarian!.
People are always upset about the starvation that is happening, did you know that if more people became vegetarian we could completely end starvation!? Meat is wasteful!. It takes 3!.25 acres to apply one meat eater for one year!. It only requires one sixth of an acre to feed a Logging that is forcing the destruction of the rain forest; The land is being cleared for cattle ranch-ing or crops for cattle feed!. After a few years the land is nutritionally used up and desertification begins!.
I hope this information, some of which was taken from some of the sites I've listed, will help you make better decisions, decisions that will not only be better for you but for the animals and our whole world!.
Especially check out the first site listed below and look at the picture at the end!. And think about this, what gives us the right to kill animals!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
