I have been asked a lot lately about why I do not eat pork...I generally joke it off, that my Mom made tough pork chops as a kid, but if you have even had the pleasure of enjoying my Mother's food you would know that is not entirely true...
Somewhere in between a phase and a habit the act of not consuming pork became dutiful and purposeful...
When I have my youngest and his little feet on my lap I still indulge in the curious little nursery rhyme..."this little piggy went to market, this little piggy went home, and this little piggy got roast beef and this little piggy got none! And this piggy cried wee wee all the way home..." So that got me thinking, is this nursery rhyme just that or the author implying that a Pig eat a Cow? I mean what does the pig want with the roast beef? He must be an asshole? So I had to investigate...and turns out the language/wording is just reflective of the people coming up with the rhymes...check out this link Mother Goose History
