This book makes an excellent case of proving that the hog is simply not fit for human consumption.
It also shows the folly of mankind in that this filthy swine has been made into products that permeate every aspect of our culture.
It has become almost impossible for the sensible person to avoid pork and pork products.
I have done some independent research and found that most of her facts are true. Even though some scientists argue that most hogs are not infested with the trichinae worm, do you really want to take that chance?
Besides, there are many other hazards associated with the raising, slaughter and eating of this scavenger.
What I really like is the incredibly humorous manner in which Ms. Ali makes her case.
A hearty laugh is good medicine and this book is chock full of laughs.
It's likely that the only people who don't find this book funny are those die-hard pork eaters.
