Pork!

[randomness]

In response to the ridiculous bans on pork imports from parts of North America by at least ten different countries, I propose that those of us who normally eat pork incorporate it into one more meal than usual. I started this morning with bacon. Mmmm, bacon.

I suspect these pork bans are more about raising a trade barrier than anything else.

Who's with me? For tasty pork, and against panic and protectionism!

Edit: added the word "imports" and reworded first sentence for clarity.

I hope you enjoyed your bacon.

Thanks! I did.

I myself have a perfectly reasonable ban on pork in my diet. (Kashrut, and the fact that I didn't find it tasty before the kashrut issue was an issue for me personally.)

Indeed! (Thus the caveat in my original post. :) )

It is a silly blanket ban, and I hope that people see that soon.

Yes. One might as well ban poultry, as the flu virus also has genetic elements of avian flu. Only I think I shouldn't give anyone any dumb ideas.

I should hunt up my gradmother's recipe for pork roast with sauerkraut and dumplings for you. I make it with seitan roast, and it's quite good.

Mmm, sounds great.

Thanks!
