OK, I know I am being odd here but why does pork get such a bad reputation? I can think of three reasons;
1) raw pork looks like Human flesh (and experience has taught me smell the same when being burnt!) so it might have been used to trick some people into canabilism...

2) Pork when stored improperly can get toxic very quickly...

3) Pig diseases can mutate to humans easily, the flu pandemic after world war I was based on a mutant form of swine fever (though bird flu gets the headlines these days!) (least likely but hey!)
