Fish are about the best protein source you can eat. Sad that mercury has been on the rise the last several years.



I try to eat fish as much as I can, then chicken, steak, and try not to eat any pork. Pork is horrible for you. But sometimes I just can't give up those good old southern ribs.

True it would be something like Kosher/UL. You can say anything you want on your ads, but if you want our specific logo you have to open your doors and prove you meet the standards.

Pigs secrete all their toxins through their skin tissue and are very inefficient at toxin removal... add to that the fact that they'll eat pretty much anything, and the result is that pig flesh is chock full of toxins that aren't good for the human body, including a LOT of carcinogens.

look at the footnotes to that data (2 & 3):

2.) Death registration area only. The death registration area increased from 10 states and the District of Columbia in 1900 to the coterminous United States in 1933.

3.) Includes deaths of persons who were not residents of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.


....

So the 1900 figure only counts people in 10 states and D.C., and also people that weren't even residents of the 50 states or D.C. ... Hardly a fully representative sample of the U.S. population, I'd say.

better than your reference of living to 60/70, I'd say

I wouldn't. That data is pretty damn useless in fact, since it doesn't even say what 10 states they include. For example, if Texas is included then the Texas number is going to be MUCH lower than normal for 1900 because of the Galveston Hurricane in 1900 that killed more than 6,000 people.

Data from before 1933 is pretty damn unreliably given the collection method, I'd say.

And it has nothing to do what what people ate.

Well.. I don't know if I can say nothing. What you eat does matter. I mean if you ate nothing but McDonalds you would die by 40 for sure.. But you know what I am saying

[Ardentfrost]

lol, this thread got WAY off topic.

[lew]

I'd say.

Pigs are notorious for eating feces and dead animals, even their own offspring. Many times a sow will roll over, accidently killing her babies, and then eat them. Then this same pig can be buturched and ready to eat within 4 hours.
