Pork is a fine protein source. Just be careful to cut the fat off before you cook it. Pork can be lean if you trim it well.

We've had a lot of people getting trichonosis from pork here in the Zone. Some are crossing the blood brain border and actually growing in the brain. Of course, the only way to remove them is surgery. Most pork does contain trichonosis. Cooking doesn't kill the eggs. Eat pork at your own risk....

actually from what ive read cooking it does kill the eggs..
but that can be said with any meat, chicken has salmanela and beef has mad cow
and of coarse fish has mercury so i think were fuked with just about any meat...

Pork is called the "other white meat." It has less fat than beef, and good white meat pork shouldnt have too much more fat than chicken, if it does maybe a little but who cares?

Because your standard "nutritional plan" is... well.. standard. Most people can't stand look outside of the box when it comes to diet and exercise. Most of the stuff I eat and the ways I workout, you'll never seen in any magazine.
