RE: The science of food processing
pork meat contains a parasite called trichinella spiralis that is present in the muscle of pigs.
Trichinosis can be nasty. Looks cool under the scope, but the patient is not having a great time.
Since we are using the example of pork, I'm gonna add cysticercosis via Taenia solium. That one can become extremely disturbing in ways they can show up in your body.
Good write up again.
I think this is why pork was "unclean" in Old Testament times. .
A lot of the "unclean" things of the Old Testament required extra, or more careful, processing in order to be consumed safely.
You are absolutely correct @enforcer48. Thanks for the wonderful contribution
