Whatever the fat : Animal and vegetable.

Vegetable fat has the wrong molecular shape to properly substitute for animal fat required in the cells; it is used out of desperation in an otherwise fat-staved body.
Not surprising that a person would have unpleasant reaction to eating it.
And there is lots of evidence on this forum that not all animal fat is equally digestible.

Do you eat the pork raw?

Is there anything special about it, or just normal pork? Was it frozen to kill Trichinosis? Do you eat it regularly?

I don't really know what a pig would naturally eat, are yours just standard grain-fed? Or Free-ranging grain-fed or anything?

Basically any info you can give me, thanks.

"Wild pigs will eat practically anything, but their primary diet is leaves and grasses, roots, fruits and flowers. They will eat insects and dead carcasses and strip bark off trees. There are stories of swine killing snakes and such, but I have not actually seen that.
Domestic pigs are usually fed a diet of processed pellet feed. They seem to like it, even pigs with access to grazing areas and free time to forage just love their dinner pellets." -http://en.allexperts.com/q/Pot-Bellied-Pigs-3478/Natural-Wild-Pig-Diet.htm

I'm actually just about to go to the supermarket before it closes so your reply may influence my purchases =)

If you guys don't mind, can you move this discussion into its own thread?

I'm still constipated unfortunately and bought some milk of magnesia that I will probably be taking shortly. My stool was very good last time around, and I don't remember being constipated at all so I'm still a bit perplexed. I started eating the strips of extra fat from whole foods so my fat content should be higher.

Also, I used to get headaches several times a week which all but disappeared the first time around as well. I'm not getting headachesbut my head is feeling some kind of pressure every now and then and its not pleasant. This could all be related to the constipation.

I have around 8 pounds of meat laying out in my room peacefully drying. I keep flipping the steaks over a couple times a day so that each side gets enough air. I still have yet to notice any bacteria buildup or bad smelling air. There is a stronger aroma now but its not bad just different.
