I mean domesticated pork. The flavour would match better. I’m personally not a blend of beef and pork unless it’s something like ground beef and bacon
See? You think you’ve found the “Gotcha!” but all you really got was dumber.
Cuz…
Is in direct contradiction to your own assertion.
Dumbfuck.

Traditionally, meatballs are one third pork, one third beef and one third veal, if you could get veal (an issue for peasants). Or just pork and beef. But this is because in the old days, in places like Sicily, beef was leaner as they didn’t feed cows corn, so they added pork for the fat content so the meatballs wouldn’t be dry. Beef also back then, like grass fed today, had a stronger flavor so the pork sweetens it up. They also didn’t have much beef anyway so it would have been hard, and more expensive, to make beef only meatballs.

Ahh okay.
I didn’t know that
Oh man. Some fresh rosemary worked in there would be beautiful.
I for one had cyclic-dermatomyositis and got into a test group for Rituxan by IDEC Pharmaceuticals. It took a few infusions in 2004 and 2005, and allowed my immune system to reset. I haven’t had a reoccurrence since.
Filming of the George Romero’s movie, “Dawn of the Dead” at Monroeville Mall just outside of Pittsburgh in 1978. Romero is a 1960 Carnegie Mellon University graduate who redefined horror and made zombies cool. ‘Dawn’ is his second zombie flick - the first, ‘Night of the Living Dead,’ released in 1968, is a classic in its own right.

Some stereotypes exist for a reason.
Most black people can’t dance either.
Thats true, but at least they try.
White people seem to have given up trying and just run with the fact that they suck.
How so, dumbfuck? Gawd, have you ever owned any common sense?
Is this typical of what happens to people who are afflicted with chronic/degenerative diseases and use pharmaceuticals as a means of getting healthy?
So your assertion is that
-
“Big Parma” has no incentive to make cures, just more drugs to keep you sick so they can make more money, right?
-
Then along comes Vioxx, which kills people.
-
Well, you can’t make money from dead people, can you?
So assertion #1 can’t be true if #2 is true, because of #3.
Now go get a job, you chicken choker.

I had been seeking treatment in a cancer clinic (chemo treatments) where there were three rooms of about 10 people per room in chairs receiving intravenous treatment that took about 4 to 6 hours. The first three years I was receiving IVIG treatments. My insurance paid for the treatments. I was about the only patient there that wasn’t being treated for cancer.
The nursing staff was phenomenal. For IVIG treatments I was there MTWThF and then begin weaning off Medrol monitoring CPK levels in my blood. My CPK always spiked up by the time I was down to 12mg of Medrol per day. So it was back to get another week of IVIG.
I would see some of the same cancer patients when I went back in for another week of infusions. Some seemed to be getting better, but some looked worse. There were about 8 nurses on duty during treatments for all about 30 patients. Only 2 stayed there the entire 4 years I was getting treatments. Most just got burnt out.
The clinic had a room dedicated solely for wigs. There were volunteers there offering to get patients treats and blankets warmed. All in all, it was a very sobering experience.
I am sure big pharma was making a lot of money there, but there was no conversing about big pharma that I ever heard.

Probably because they were all just trying to survive and thankful for the medical advances that gave them a fighting chance.

Most all of us in this thread have the luxury to discuss big pharma from the position of not being in the position that medicine is their last ditch effort to stay alive.
Seeing those cancer patients relying on big pharma for their last chance of being around their loved ones is a very sobering experience.
