What's interesting is Dr. Oz (who is a Muslim and anti-pork) with a guest who is a questionable anti-pork advocate telling you what has been added to your meat.
...Is Smithfield a nationally-known brand? Is it available outside of the South?
Well, that *is* interesting, Bill. I had no idea Oz was a muslim.
I used to work with a man from Libya and another from Iran. The Iranian was an engineer, and the Libyan was about my pay grade. I got along with them well, but we never talked about religion much.
As for Oz, he's not someone I cater to that much, and I hear a lot of married men detest him due to the influence he has on their wives.
Oz mentioned something about free range pork. Frankly, I haven't seen any around here that I can recall. Sam's Club recently started selling Smithfield Signature pork shoulders, but I don't know if it's free range or not.
EDIT: I beg your pardon, the name was Smithfield Prime Reserve...

Give Bill 5* . Take what Oz says with a pound of salt.
I think I just had a stroke reading this thread.
I think this is a dangerous statement. I would like to see references to scientific articles supporting this claim.Recently, (some) scientists admitted most of today's diseases thrive BECAUSE of vaccines. They don't allow our own bodies to build up antibodies to protect itself naturally.

I'm sorry, I don't have to get past the first link to know I'm not looking at mainstream scientific consensus on vaccines. This is more like what I'm looking for:
Fact or Fiction?: Vaccines Are Dangerous
Overwhelming medical evidence proves that negative side effects are rare and minor
I've had many conversations with Muslims when I was deployed but we never discussed religion.
I've worked and vacationed in over 24 countries. One commonality is when you're with another person on a 1-on-1 basis, people are just people. No anti-this or anti-that conversations. Well, except 1 or 2 Serbs who asked why I wanted to learn "that sh1t language", Albanian. The Serbs and Kosovar Albanians have been against each other since the Albanians were given the choice of "convert or die" at/during/after the battle at the Field of Blackbirds outside of Pristina in 1389. (And yes, I've been to the site). It was the Catholic Serbs stopped the Muslims from advancing westward in their attempt to take over Europe. Many people do not realize that "Balkans" is the Turkish word for "mountains".
My interest in travel started while looking at the pictures in the encyclopedia long before I was 10. I always told myself I wanted to go here or there, etc. This also influenced me to be a history major in college.
