Answers:
????????Because you didn't post this in the religious section, I won't give you the religious answer (which is, because God said so and that is good enough for me)!. What I will give you is what scientists have already discovered for themselves!.

● A pig is a scavenger -- garbage in, garbage out!.

● Even if you feed a pig on good food, science has discovered that a pig does not have an efficient mechanism for removal of disease, wastes, and toxins from its tissues!. Thus, when eating a pig (vs!. other meats which the Bible designates as "clean" flesh foods), you are eating more toxins, wastes, and possible diseases than is good for you!.

● Then, some people try to clain that raising a pig in a healthy environment, and cooking the meat correctly, will make such pig flesh pefectly fit to eat!. NOT! All that does is reduce your chances of getting something like trichinosis!. It does *NOT* eliminate any of the excess wastes and excess toxins which are *always* present in pig's flesh!.

● Lastly, the only "advantage" to eating pig's flesh is for the additional variety which tantalizes one's taste buds!. There is absolutely NO intrinsic nutritional value to eating pig's flesh!. The protiens are second- (or third-) hand!. The pig produces those protiens from what it eats!. Your body can do the same!. If the pig is fed on nutritious plant foods, you are better off eating the plant foods directly!. This malarkey that you have to eat meat in order to get sufficient protien is just that -- malarkey! Of course, the exact same concept applies to eating a cow!. ;-)

God bless!.

Obviously bacon is highly processed and high in fat but I don't see why it would be less healthy than other processed meats like sausages or burgers!.

All unhealthy - but I have to step in and respond to the post which claims processed meat 'causes all sorts of cancer'!.

People throw the word cancer around very casually on this forum; it's received wisdom that 'meat causes cancer' and anyone challenging that receives a shedload of thumbs-downs!. Yet the people saying it are usually just repeating what they've heard and know nothing about cancer!.

In fact there are no foods proven to cause cancer - or to prevent, treat or cure it either!.

The known or suspected links between meat and the 200+ diseases that come under the umbrella title of cancer are these:

A diet high in meat, particularly red and processed meats, is a known risk factor the development of some colorectal cancers!. A diet high in meat and fat may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer!. A diet high in red and processed meats is thought to possibly increase the risk of stomach cancer!.

And that's it!. And a risk factor is not a cause - insurance companies treat 'being male' as a risk factor for car crashes, but being male doesn't cause car crashes!.

Sorry to hijack your question, though I did answer it, but I feel passionately about misinformation on this issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bacon is just pork belly that has been salted and dried and/or smoked!.!. There are hardly any additives in good bacon!. Cooking it gets rid of most of the fat!. That's the grease people here talk about!.

The most unhealthy serving of meat in my opinion are cheap sausages and other "cold cuts"!. The ones loaded with nitrates and preservatives because the makers took a lot of short cuts and need all that junk to make their product last longer!. Properly cured sausages do use use preservatives and last a very long time!.

Eaten in moderation, bacon and such are not as unhealthy as people make them out to be!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a vegetarian but if I was going to eat Meat, Pig would be at the very bottom of the list!. I used to eat it when I didn't know better!.

It is the hardest meat to digest and takes much longer than even beef for the body to process!. It can cause constipation and pinworms!. (Now some people argue this but my husband has gotten pinworms from pork so I don't care what they say!.!.!. I know better!)

Pork in general is the most unhealthy meat on the planet!. I don't think I could say that only bacon was!. Bacon is greasy but the grease is just a small part of why it is the worst meat there is!.

Think about it!. Pigs are natures waste disposal units!.If we are eating them, we are essentially eating garbage! Ewww!. This is why I think shellfish and bottom feeders are gross too!. I mean, come on!.!.!. you are eating poop eaters! And Shrimp if they are not de-veined (poop vein) does contain actual poop!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with all the reasons given that bacon is unhealthy, but I have to vote for hot dogs being even worse!. They not only have fat in them, but pig noses, ears, even tails!. You know the little hard bits you sometimes find!? That's gristle or even bone!. And there's plenty of fat in hot dogs, too, unless you can find some that are intentionally produced as low-fat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are tons of UNHEALTHY meats out there! Just look at the way animals are raised, how could their meat be "healthy" for people to eat!? Unless it's free-range, organic, vegetarian-fed!.!.!.
Anyway, bacon is really unhealthy bc people are deliberately eating the FAT! Mostly when people eat meat, they want minimal fat on it, but bacon--it's like half fat!. So yea, it's pretty unhealthy!.

But, it is easy to stay away from all of that unhealthy meat! Go Veggie! :o)Www@FoodAQ@Com

bacon is very very very high in animal fat which of course is bad for you!. The worst!.!.!.possibly!. But if you eat no pork why are you worried about it!? Pork in general is not bad but unfortunately pork fat tastes good to many people and is also used to flavor many foods!. So it causes it to be bad!.

the guideline for all meats is lean meat!.!.!.not the fat!.


I have to defend PIGS! They are not dirty animals they LOVE to be clean!. If given the chance they would wade in nice clean water to cool their almost hairless bodies!. They cant cool themselves!. and mud is usually more accessible!. They never poop where they eat or sleep and prefer it to be as far away from them as possible!. As a pet pigs are pretty much potty trained from birth! awesome CLEAN pets!Www@FoodAQ@Com

There's a few schools of thought!.
1!.) As a veggie I don't think meat is good at all, so there's the obvious one!.
2!.) BACON is mostly fat!. Obviously a little bit of fat in a diet is good, but bacon contains a LOT of it!.
3!.) This kind of goes with religious beliefs, but pigs are scavengers, and are considered unclean!. That's why Jews and Muslims don't eat pork!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pork in general is unhealthy but bacon especially as it contains nitrites which is a cancer causing compound!. Same with lunch meat cold cuts ham and roast-beef even turkey as well as hot-dogs!. The dietary laws in Leviticus says that swine is an unclean animal and consuming it is an abomination!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just look at it!.!. it's filled with fat and it probably comes from some disgusting place on a pig!. It's very unhealthy because of its fat content!. If you've ever fried up bacon, it's own grease is thick and it produces disgusting amounts!. I will only eat bacon in moderation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Is your Question simply if bacon is the most unhealthy meat!?!?
well then yes!.!. it prolly is!.!. !! It has a lot of fat!.!.
but i love bacon!.!. it tastes really good!.!. i will never give it up!.!.!!
but i dont eat it on a daily basis!.!. i eat it once in a week or once int 2 weeks!.!.!! thts the way to not eat fat everyday but still get the taste once in a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The pork industry is ruining our oceans!. The overabundance of hog excrement has caused a biohazard (I forget what it is called and since you don't want me using sources I can't go look it up) in our oceans that is spreading disease to hundreds of thousands of fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think there is worse than bacon but not much!.!. It has to do with the fact that bacon is the poisons in the pigs body stored up in the fat!.!. Pigs do not sweat and therfore are like a sponge!.!. they are scavengers and GOD made them and saved them on the ARK for that reason!. And JESUS let a whole herd of pigs die!.!.probably because they were diseased and the people did not know it!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

people say bacon is bad for you because of all the fat it has in it, which gives it flavor!. also it produces crazy amounts of grease when you cook it, so thats another reason it is so unhealthyWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's not unclean just because it comes from a pig or from some disgusting body part!. It's unhealthy because it's almost pure saturated fat!. also, the chemicals used in processed meats have been linked with cancer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I LOVE BACON! I don't think it's as unhealthy as sausage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. It's probably very unhealthy since it's mostly fat!. Not to mention you have to add fat/oil to cook the stuff!.

Besides being unhealthy, it's also disgusting! Yuck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
