However, even when the pork is properly cooked, the doubt about this meat still exists as pigs consume many substandard foods. More consumption of pork means risk of more diseases. Pigs from factory farms are those generally used in the production of pork. But most factory farms don’t offer clean pastures, sufficient sunlight, and access to clean air for pigs.
Instead of green grass, they give pigs anti-infection agents and medications as food, which make them grow and age faster. This in turn, raises their market value. Pigs from most farms live surrounded by their urine, feces, and vomit. This unhealthy environment makes them breathe in lethal gas and develop the skin disease mange. The ammonia present in their urine and feces makes them develop pneumonia before being slaughtered.
All of these side effects are just few of the problems you can expect from consuming pork. That’s why you should always research about the origin of pork you plan to buy. The video below presents the consequences of consuming pork.
