That is something else. Just because it is heritage pork does not mean it is organic/natural. My family raised grass finished Angus beef for years. We ate all we could and sold the rest. McD’s and other fast food chains messed me up when I ate their crap.
I eat wild pig all the time and store bought farm pig will mess me up. I have been buying paddock pigs from the local Mennonites lately, good stuff. (and chicken and rabbits as well).
Why ask?
Steve Martin had the answer to that a long time ago.
Because they are made from earth worms.

Anyone can be allergic to anything.
Some are much more common than others, true, but some people can be allergic to the weirdest things.
I have heard of this allergy developing as a result of being bitten by certain ticks. It’s real.
Yeah kinda sucks because I’m wanting to get a small breed of pig to raise. Will probably still get them to grind with the goat meat and add just a little fat. If I eat at 6-7pm and take some benadryl right before bed, I’m ok. It’s a delayed allergic reaction. The only delayed food allergy ever. It takes about 6 hours to hit. Took me a while to figure out why I was waking up at 2am with the hives. Finally narrowed it down to ribeye night that we used to have every two weeks or so.

I’ve noticed if I don’t get bit by a tick for a couple of years, the allergy lessens. Problem is, I decided to buy a hunk of woods in the Ozarks and clear a homestead so I get bit most every year. It’s the Lone Star tick that does it.
Commercial pigs are “the other white meat”. Heritage are darker and richer.
She has a mental condition.
Not if you get bit by the tick that causes the allergy.
The tick is in Arkansas, and it’s the one thing about Arkansas that scares me. We moved to Arkansas last year.

LGM - Lab Grown Meat
My accountant got Lyme Disease from a tick bite. She said she cannot eat any mammal meat at all. Chicken, fish, that’s about it.....
“I think Casper the golfer had that same condition, ate buffalo meat.”
Well, there you go. A possible solution to the young lady’s malady. Perhaps the golfer and the lady can exchange info via e-mail to solve her problem.
BTW, I enjoy buffalo meat. Too expensive where I live, but affordable when I head north to the Michigan UP. Love buffalo roast. Hard to find, but so delicious.
Now I’m making me hungry.
Take care, Vet.

How does buffalo meat compare to beef?
Mutton beats the rest!
Soylent Green.
Simple. No mammal meat in McDonald’s hamburgers.
