“Beef: It’s what for dinner” is a phrase that you might hear in commercials. So what products do beef animals give us? Beef cattle provide different cuts of meat that many of us eat every day. These include ribs, steak, fillet mignon and ground beef. Take a look at the picture to learn more. Dairy cows are another type of cattle that provide us with nutritional products. There are many different dairy products but some you might be most familiar with include milk, cheese, yogurt, butter and ice cream. Other dairy products include sour cream, cottage cheese, whey, cream cheese and condensed milk. Dairy products are often used in cooking and baking and contain calcium, which can help to strengthen your bones. When dairy animals can no longer produce milk, they are often used for meat, primarily in the form of ground beef. It is possible to get the same cuts of meat from a dairy cow that you do a beef animal. Male dairy calves, called bull calves, that are not used for beef are often used for veal. Veal is meat from younger animals and is very lean. It is considered a delicacy in many countries. There are various by-products that come from all types of cattle. Tallow is fat from cattle, and it is used in wax paper, crayons, margarine, paints, rubber, lubricants, candles, soaps, lipsticks, shaving creams and other cosmetics. Gelatin is a protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones of cattle in water. Gelatin is used in shampoos, face masks and other cosmetics. Gelatin is also used in foods as a thickener for fruit gelatins and puddings (like Jell-O), candies and marshmallows. Leather comes from the hides of animals. It is used to make wallets, purses, furniture, shoes and car upholstery. Leather can be made from the skin of pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and exotic species such as alligators. Yumm........Bacon! This is probably one of the first things that come to mind when people begin thinking about what comes from a pig - but the reality of it is that pigs are incredibly versatile animals!
Yes, ham, bacon, pork chops, pork loin and sausage all come from pigs...but so does insulin, heart valves, footballs, gelatin, burn dressings, matches, crayons and a whole host of other items. Ted.com has a great video (about 9 minutes long) in which Christien Meindertsma actually talks about how she followed an ordinary pig to see what happened to it after processing - and how amazed she was with the results. This video is below, or you can visit it on ted.com at http://www.ted.com/talks/christien_meindertsma_on_pig_05049?language=en As promised, here is the final fact sheet showing at least some of the products made from pigs and where they come from. (This compliments the posts from the last two weeks on "Everything but the Baaa..." and "Everything but the Moo....") It is a great visual for students to start learning about just how much agriculture impacts their daily lives through more than just the food on their plates and illustrates how we really do use everything but the oink! Listed below are links to the PDF of the sheet shown above as well as a PDF of a worksheet on Products from Pigs and the corresponding Answer Key. We hope that you find these resources helpful!

Scripture tells us in Leviticus 11:7 that pork is an unclean food. Yahuah also told His people, “Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you” (Leviticus 11:8). “Therefore Come out from among them And be separate”, says Yahuah. “Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you” (2 Corinthians 6:17). While it’s easy to avoid pork chops, ham, and bacon, few of us realize how clever the food industry is in adding pork to our diets in the form of gelatine. Pork products are sometimes used to make snack foods such as puddings, jello, chips, crackers, cookies, donuts and marshmallows including marshmallow bits in cereal and hot cocoa. Pork products are also found in some brands of cake frosting, cheese spreads, yogurt, margarine, and ice cream. Look for words like lard, animal fats, animal glycerine, hydrolyzed animal protein, enzymes, emulsifiers, monostearates, mono and di-glyceride and gelatine on the label when you buy these products. Dairy products such as whipped cream, sour cream and cheese may also contain gelatine or rennet. Rennet is an enzyme which turns milk solids into cheese. Animal rennet is most often used. Look for mono and di-glyceride (forms of glycerine), or enzymes on the label. They may not all be made with pork but the only way to know for sure is to contact the company or look for the Kosher marking (K or U) on the label. Pork in the form of glycerine, keratin, collagen and tallow are used in cosmetics and toiletries. Some common ones that contain pork or pork by-products are lipstick, shaving cream, toothpaste, hand lotion, bath soap and shampoos. Pork is also hidden in detergents, cleansers, dish liquids, soaps and make-up. Some medications may also contain pork products; the most common is the gelatine coated tablet of the gelatine capsule (gel caps). (This post does not include shellfish- please be on the lookout for that as well as it is common in medication)  Think about that for a moment before we move on..Gelatine – Where does it come from? Gelatine is manufactured from collagen derived from animal carcasses. (Usually Cows and pigs) There are claims that they also use the bones of these animals. What is it used in? Gelatine is used in a variety of ways, not just by the food industries. Apparently it can be used as a gelling agent, thickener, film former, adhesive agent, stabilizer, or whipping agent. Another website states that gelatine is used in hard capsules, soft gels, plasma expanders, tablet binders and coatings, and vaccine stabilizers . The major food uses for gelatine are jelly, bakery, meat products, fish products, confectionary, ice cream, alcoholic and soft drinks, dairy products, and yellow fats and spreads. So, according to this, and everything I have read, gelatine may be an ingredient in ANY processed food product on the market today, especially something with a chewy consistency or requiring thickeners and gravies. They are often listed as mono- and diglycerides on nutrition labels. (From a Health website – I am not that smart..) Here are some foods that contain gelatine:Confectionery products such as jubes, wine gums, and pastilles; aerated confections such as marshmallows, nougat, marshmallow-meringues, and biscuit and wafer fillings; sugar-pulled confectionery such as fruit chews, milk caramels, toffees, cream pastes, and licorice, chips, compressed tablets, and lozenges. This includes frosting, icings, and bakery glazes as well. Dairy products such as yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, cheese spreads, pudding, moulded creams and custards, mousse, chiffons and soufflés, ice cream, water ices, milk ices and, thickened cream, and margarine. Gelatin Desserts such as “Jell-O.” Meat Products such as cooked ham, canned meat products, sausage, decorative jellies, and glazes for meats. Gelatine also has other food application such as gelling of canned seafood products; micro-encapsulation of flavours, colours, and vitamins; stabilizing of cream fillings for frozen baked products; protein enrichment of foods such as beverages and dietetic products; film forming in panned chewing gum varieties; coating of fruits, meats and delicatessen items; thickening and emulsifying soups, sauces, and gravies; and thickening and stabilizing low fat mayonnaise and salad dressing. The Bottom Line.. If you want to avoid pork in your food, don’t eat commercially manufactured/processed foods. Make your food yourself. Make them from things you cook yourself, fresh and frozen vegetables, fresh fruits, and raw nuts and seeds, you can roast them yourself. Avoid restaurants and take out. If you must add gravies or thickeners, make your own from flours, water or nut milks, olive oil, and herbs. Many dishes can be prepared ahead of time and placed in the freezer for quick use. If you feel it’s too hard to make your favourite dishes from scratch, try changing your menu plan. Teach yourself enjoy simple foods from natural sources, and your body will be healthier, and thank you for it. Also try to eliminate sugary desserts, commercially prepared cookies, and candy from your diet. Replace them with fresh fruit, but avoid eating fruits and vegetables in the same meal. When you have to buy processed or manufactured items, look for the Halaal stamp on products. That helps.. But eat healthy and stay healthy! It is as our Father intended for us to eat.. |
