Have you ever heard of the old
Native American
proverb, "you are what you eat"? Well it is actually true! Everything we eat either affects our health negatively or </ins></ins> positively. If we eat nutritious vegetables we will naturally be healthier and leaner, yet if we indulge in fatty foods like pork, and other unhealthy foods our health will start to decline over time.
1). Pork is full of nasty parasites. The tapeworms found in pork are some of the most deadly. These tapeworms can travel to the brain and spread disease that could even kill a person. Some people have developed brain seizures and other health problems after eating pork. Check out this video where you can watch worms surface on raw pork after coke is poured on it.

2). Pork is very fattening. Pork is one of the fattiest meats that you can consume. Eating pork continually will pack on the pounds much faster as compared with eating other lean meats like chicken and turkey. If you like bacon you're better off switching to turkey bacon as it is a healthier alternative.
3). God tells us not to eat pork in the bible. In the bible there is a list of unclean meats that you should avoid for health reasons. The passage can be found in (Leviticus 11:7-
.
4). Pig skin is very similar in composition to human skin. It is said that pork even tastes like human flesh because of their similar biology. Back in the Middle Ages there was a time with autopsies on humans were not allowed. Medical students had to use pigs to practice on. This was done because the anatomy of a pig also has many other similarities to humans.
5). Toxins. A pig's body contains many toxins because they are bottom dwellers meaning they eat food which is devoid of nutrition (pig slop). They eat the left over junk and some pigs eat their own feces. These animals store massive amounts of toxins in their fat, which is then passed on to you if you eat it.
6). Pigs live in filth. Pigs roll around and live their lives in filth, mud, and feces. Pigs are like garbage disposals eating up every nasty thing they can find.
