Pork Rinds. In the same catagory as Spam…
Have you ever seen anyone eating Pork Rinds? When riding the bus this afternoon, I witnessed an actual person consuming them. There are several myths about how the ingredients react to the human body so I thought I would do a little hunting to find out some dirt on this mysterious snack.
Pork Rinds, known to the English as pork scratchings and pork crackle in Australia are made from the skins of pigs. Isn’t there something really odd about that? Yuck.
I can imagine the dialogue right now:
“What are you eating?”
“Well, I’m consuming the skin of a pig”
That’s real appetizing…
As if that’s not bad enough, apparently, any fat that is attached to the skin is cooked right in with everything else. So basically what these Rinds are is 100% fat which means 100% clogged arteries. Not only are these Pork Rinds sold as a snack, in the form of a crispy chip, but I guess you can serve them warm as well. Interesting.
When George H. W. Bush was president, he once said Pork Rinds were his favorite snack. He must have been a real healthy man. Maybe that’s part of the reason why his son turned out to be such a bumbling idiot.
No, in all honesty here, I know that most everything these days will give us cancer or some crazy disease. We are constantly being told, this is bad for you, this will give you cancer, this will lower your fertility rate, you might go blind from eating that.
There are just some foods out there that are just too gross to even look at. We consume enough sickening food here in the United States, lets just take Pork Rinds out of the picture, along with Spam. Done and done.
