Good news for Pork Fat lovers

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!

632kcal, $0.95, per 100g
A good source of B vitamins and minerals. Pork fat is more unsaturated and healthier than lamb or beef fat.

    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.

    Imagine watching the film Babe and eating a bacon sandwich. Now that's nourishment for the mind and body.

    God bless.

    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.
