I thought we’re not supposed to eat bacon. It’s sinful. It’s bad because pigs are carnivores or whatever 

or pigs are full of maggots

but bacon is RIDICULOUSLY delicious. Don’t deny the truth 

Not many wild boars per se but the feral pigs multiply faster than most anywhere can eradicate them.

I went to SC once and a farmer showed me a field they had planted beans in a few weeks earlier. The feral pigs could drop their nose in like a plow, like a rooter, and dig the field up at night, almost as fast as it was planted during the day. The destruction is massive.

I am no expert nor a connoisseur but the meat is different based on geographic location. The Texas pig I had was a bit 'gamier' than the South Carolina pig. I am guessing it was far more to eat in the bean fields and corn fields in SC than the west Texas area we visited way back when. In Texas I am told they cover much more ground, maybe slightly leaner, just guessing. In South Carolina they will latch onto an area and consider it a food plot til its gone and move just far enough to gorge again. Somewhat 'fattier'(Again, only four or five pigs from each area, so I am no expert) My buddy that turned us on to the hunt said we had to go to the easter part of Louisiana across the Gulf states and into Florida to get the Texas to Carolina cross.

It wasn't exactly farm raised hogs/pigs but it was still pretty good. And again, its bacon. My Pops use to say someone could make a cardboard sandwich taste good with three strips of bacon.

I have been catching up with old posts since my hiatus. I happen to watch this video yesterday and this thread seems like a perfect place for it. Bible based nutrition

So, in principle I would agree with her. I personally have a little issue with grains though.

The Hebrew word "lechem" basically means food/sustenance and as to what type of food or sustenance that is depends on the context. For example, Adam and Eve were placed in a garden full of fruit trees that the Creator Himself had prepared for them. Upon expulsion, would they have even known what "bread (lechem)" was? Had they ever had to harvest the heads of grain (tall grasses), mill them, pulverize them, and bake them? Had they even had to figure out how to build a fire yet, let alone invent an oven?

But to say "in the sweat of your face you will have to plant and eat food (lechem)" would make sense. What was originally provided for them in the garden was no longer available to them after their expulsion. Now they had to work for food (not necessarily bread).

In other books of the Bible the word lechem refers to meat based on the context.

It was quite a chore to grow, harvest, dry, seperate the wheat from the chaff, mill, and then bake, bread back then. People ate little of it. Likewise today, a little bread never killed anyone. But with industrialization and the advent of mass produced processed food, we can eat grains more than ever before, and it's taking a toll on our health.
