Here is an article that says pork fat is nutritious. This is a BBC Futures news article so it seems reliable. It is good news for us pork fat lovers. I could hardly believe it!
'Scientists studied more than 1,000 foods, assigning each a nutritional score. The higher the score, the more likely each food would meet, but not exceed your daily nutritional needs, when eaten in combination with others.' Pork fat was ranked number 8 of 100 most nutritious foods!

Oh yum, I love pork
I still hate pork fat, I am not a fat lover at all! Hugs, Valerie
How interesting. You can get packets of dried pork fat here in pubs called pork scratchings . lovely but fattening. Now may be I'll eat them guilt free.
Hi Christine that was interesting ,i didnt expect that xx
Imagine watching the film Babe and eating a bacon sandwich. Now that's nourishment for the mind and body.
God bless.
I knew it! 😃
The dogs and 2 of the cats eat pork, I'm glad to know it's a good fat!!!
I have trouble eating meat any more - ...it has to be disguised and not look like meat to get through my throat ...but I fondly remember loving pork in its' carnitas form, lol .... But alas, last time i tried to swallow it I couldn't quite do it. I guess I'm on my way to being a vegetarian but I can't give up a few things like pepperoni pizza...yum and a good chicken picatta.
Back in the day when I ate meat, I liked pork.
Interesting, but I hardly ever eat pork.
Makes sense
None for me thanks but enjoy, enjoy!
Not for me but it'll work for whoever enjoys this.
Seriously? Wow!
being muslim we don't eat pork though sounds great for people who love it

All the best Jan
