Why Is Pork Celebrated

It's the pork month!

This is cause for celebration for carnivores everywhere, fitting neatly into our growing appetite for the more thrifty cuts. It used to be a treat to eat pork on special occasions. In some countries, they roast an entire pig  which would be placed in the center of the table. Then the whole family, children and all, would be able to pick away at their favorite part.




In my case, I buy the best pork I can afford. Most weeks, I get through between seven and ten kilos. See? We love pork as well! When I hear about roast pork chops, my mind starts to tell me of something gratifying as being not only a tastier meat but a source of high quality protein with lots and lots of  vitamins and minerals, which is excellent for boosting our immune systems and keeping us healthy.


Pork provides a low fat meal, provided that it is trimmed. Pork is an ideal choice for for weight watchers and those  following a  healthy and balanced eating plan. Recent studies have shown that South African Pork is significantly lower in fat than many other countries and is even approved by the  Heart and
Stroke Foundation.
