Pitch the pork.

Drew Cavner
Whether it's meat that you're trying to cut out of your diet as a whole, or it's just a certain type, read forward. Many people these days choose not to eat specific meats for their own specific reasons, have it be; religion, personal morals, or just pure taste and texture. Regardless, I believe that out of all the meats, regardless of what your stance is, you should avoid pork. Pork comes from pig. The pig is one of man's grossest creatures. Sure, they might be clean on the outside, but they are the closest thing to a garbage disposal that you can get. Pigs are known for eating their own feces, garbage, other pigs, and even humans ( mostly mob situations but hey ). You are what you eat. If you choose to eat pork you may be agreeing to things that you have no idea about. My main concern with eating pork is the extremely high cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is secreted when the body feels that it is under attack. It's the main hormone other than adreneline that is released when the body goes into fight or flight mode. Cortisol is also responsible for holding fat and water, but it's main objective is to eat away at muscle tissue. Ever wonder why someone going through a rough time in their life seems to put on a few extra pounds, or vise versa. The person's body will begin to retain water/ hold fat, and eat away at muscle. The main reason why pigs have such high cortisol levels is because of the way that they are slaughtered. Every pig at the slaughter house knows that their time is up. They know that they are going to die before they are actually killed, and this causes a huge release of cortisol throughout their body. Think of it like this. If someone puts a gun to your head and says they are going to kill you, other than peeing your pants, you are going to freak out. Large amounts of cortisol would be released before you are killed. If say, you die in your sleep, lower amounts of cortisol would be released, hence juicier meat.haha Moral of the story. No mo' po'.
