Dangers of Pork-Eating
Pork-raising has come to be one of the great industries of this country; and since the supply is wholly regulated by demand, it may be taken as a proper index of the prodigious quantities of swine’s flesh which are daily required to satisfy the gustatory demands of the American people. No other kind of animal food is so largely used as pork in its various forms of preparation.
The Yankee makes his Sunday breakfast of pork and beans, while the same article is a prominent constituent of at least two meals each day during the remainder of the week. Pork and hominy is almost the sole element of the Texan farmer; while in the Western states pork and potatoes constitute the most substantial portion of the farmer’s bill of fare. The accompanying dish may be hominy, beans, or potatoes, but the main reliance is pork in each case.
Americans, long devoted to chicken and beef, are eating more pork now than they have in years….According to the market research firm Euromonitor, sales of pork are up 20 percent in the United States since 2011.
(Washington Post, Why Americans Are Eating More Pork Now than They Have in Decades
, 2017)
In 2013, the meat industry processed 112 million hogs, according to NAMI. From those animals, U.S. meat companies produced 23.2 billion pounds of pork. Though meat consumption in the U.S. has dropped off slightly in recent years, at 270.7 pounds per person a year, we still eat more meat per person here than in almost any other country on the planet. In 2012, the average American consumed 71.2 pounds of red meat (beef, veal, pork, and lamb) and 54.1 pounds of poultry (chicken and turkey), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The U.S. per capita consumption of pork amounted to 50.1 pounds in 2016.

In the case of no other animal is so large a portion of the dead carcass utilized as food. It seems to be considered that pork is such a delicacy that not a particle should be wasted.
