Don't Trust The Casing

I have been eating pork and fish lately, no more lamb, no more poultry and what can I say, I had a relative quiet time with regards to acne. But every now and then I got very very weak acne, and now I know why: It's those darn sausages.

And the problem seams not to be what is put inside the sausage, but rather what holds the sausages together. Because, even though the Frankfurters I ate were pork sausages, the casing was sheep. And that was not declared on the ingredient list, only "natural casing" was listed – but the manufacturer confirmed it was sheep when questioned.

Darn, one can not trust those ingredient lists.

I think all animal products from Bovidae (and possibly Ruminantia) are a problem for me. I know that beef/veal/dairy is a problem for me, and I know that lamb is a problem for me. I now know that sheep is a problem as well. I will not touch deer, moose, goat and antelope any time soon, that's for sure.

If this extents to all even-toed ungulates (and therefore Suina are not good for me as well) I will see: I plan to go on a meat-free diet, with fish being the only animal product (been holding this off for months, wanted to do this for long). Let's see where that goes.

- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent

Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.

If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
