Pork is just about the single unhealthiest type of meat for sale in this society. I'd love to meet the guy who introduced it. I mean, you see an animal rolling around in its own fecal matter and conclude you should eat it? How does that work?
Having helped fertilize potatoes with cow shit in my youth, I can't say I have any sympathy for that line of argument. Show me that it's bad for my heart, or my waistline, or has mercury in it, and I'll probably continue to ignore you in favour of habit and enjoyment of the flavour, but at least I'll acknowledge your argument has merit.

EDIT: Pie on my face here:

There's lots of things that it does. My brother was telling that he was watching House the other day; they had this guy come in who had a worm inside his head and it was eating him from the inside. They though the guy was jewish so they didn't make a connection, but then they found that he wasn't and they were like "oh! now it makes sense, he got it from eating pork!"

Something about it carrying certain fats (not sure if that's the right English word) that interferes with the tallow production leading to an either greasier or drier skin (depending on the person) which would of course also have long term effects cause it has an effect on elasticity etc

Doctor told me this cause I went in for some eczema (spelling) spots on my eyelids (really annoying) and he went over all the options.

Roughly 1/3 of all meat eaten on this planet is pork. That's not a common problem.

Okay. That's weird. Skin problems like that are often associated with too much fat (or too little), and pork's a fairly lean meet. Still, I trust your doctor.

If it helps, it's not a big part of my diet. :tongue:

Well I'd love to say I know better but I despised biology class and dropped it after two years on the first opportunity. I'm not in the habit of arguing with my doctor

If it helps, it's not a big part of my diet. :tongue:
Good :D

Let's see how far this goes...

FOUR JOBS YOU'VE HAD IN YOUR LIFE
1. Does grad student count? I do get paid after all.
2. Sales assistant in a hardware store.
3. Sales assistant in a grocery store.
4. Paper boy. Yes, I was that stuck for a fourth job. :tongue:

FOUR JOBS YOU WISH YOU HAD
1. Writer (screen or novel). If it wasn't synonymous with "poor", I'd have given this engineering lark up long ago.
2. Engineer for Google! If you have to be an engineer, work for the cool guys.
3. Footballer. A good one though. My five-a-side team lost 17-2 yesterday, so my skills aren't about to win me a big money contract with Accrington Stanley. In my defense, I lost a contact lens to a blow to the face in the warm-up and was effectively playing blind in one eye.
4. Chess player. See footballer, sans anecdote.

FOUR MOVIES YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN
1. Brick. For the dialogue, for the plot, for that twang as the knife guy gets it.
2. Alien. Just for that wonderful atmosphere.
3. Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell as Elvis fighting a mummy with the aid of JFK at their retirement home. What more do you want?
4. A tie here: Gladiator or Master and Commander. I'm not sure which is the lesser of two weevils among Russel Crow's best work.
Honourable mentions: Donnie Darko, K-Pax, Terminator 2, Old Boy, Dr Strangelove.


FOUR CITIES YOU'VE LIVED IN
