And the amount of energy (fat) required for higher brain function and development as apposed to digestion.

Interesting. I wonder if a current theory exists, as this one is 11 years old. It does not invalidate the theory, but I am wondering if there is something more current.

You are aware that theory paraphrased in the article you have linked borrows heavily on human evolutionary theory, are you not? It essentially tells us that the human desire for fats and salts is rooted in the requirements for the evolutionary development of the human brain that would have transpired on as man evolved into the modern Homo sapien.

Let's get back to building the ULTIMATE pork product sandwiche. :yep: :yeah:

The reason that (Orthodox) Jews and any other practicing denomination that chooses to, doesn't eat pork, is that traditionally i.e 1000's to hundreds of years ago, pork carried trichinosis. Perhaps it still does, but with modern manufacturing process, that danger has been minimized to eliminated.

It is a traditional practice based on common sense, for health reasons.

My guess is that it is the same for Muslims.

You may not choose to eat it for whatever health reasons...but it does smell delicious!

the odojek (a young pig)

the recipe is simple
Ingredients: 1 pig
1 fire with stick
4 beers
1 serb

you put the stick trough the pig. You put the serb next to the fireplace and give him beers. Wait until he is done roasting the pig

Mexican chorizo is so good, like bacon, it deserves to be in its own food group :)

That is the same question asked of Albert Einstien, but I digress.

No, But I question your question. Music isn't exactly phisics.

But it doesn't change the theory I posted.

No, it does not change the validity of theory at all, and I fully accept it. I was asking about it because since it is rather obscure, I assumed that you were following it, and would have something of additional value to add if pressed.

The only thing I find unusual is that someone who has such a lengthy post history detailing utter distain for evolutionary science would cite it to support an assertion. It is an assertion that I have come to agree with, but from the stance of your stated personal philosophy, it is very illogical.
