As a rule, our family doesn't eat pork. Nothing to do with "religious" reasons and everything to do with how good it is for you. Not that I never will and I don't preach it to our church folks, simply a personal choice/conviction if you will.

Welcome home Johnney! LOL!

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

I enjoy it... and would eat it more if it wasn't so expensive.
Several people in my extended family raised hogs... they are no worse than chickens for smell and filth, IMO, though free range chickens might be better. But they do smell awful!

I used to eat bacon daily but for some reason most of it just doesn't taste good anymore (believe it or not).... It seems to have lost much of its flavor and is usually not cooked enough -I like it downright crumbly, NOT chewy.
But, I DO like pork, in the smoked, slow cooked, pulled variety, completely drowning in Famous Dave's Devil Spit BBQ sauce!
I eat bacon or sausage when I eat a full breakfast... which is about once a month or less.
I enjoy ham at the holidays, that is about it. I used to cook a mean scalloped potatoes and ham dish, but that was back in the days when I cooked.... long, long ago, in a land far away.

What is funny is that plain old "ham" is by far my least favorite pork meat. I guess I just have too many memories of my polock family serving pink, rubbery, fatty ham at every single holiday meal.

Oh no, if I eat ham, it is going to be good!!!! Flavorful, thin slices, slightly crispy on the edges! Honey Baked Hams are delicious!!
your use of action does not work... The word of God does set it apart... NOT TO EAT! Prayer and God leading your heart to know it is best NOT TO would be correct. God used genetic coding to tell you his law of proper food for the body. God gave very clear order on this issue.
