Cancer and food has been linked. Eating red meat increases your chances of cancer--those include pork, beef, mutton, etc. So it's not only pork.
There are no additives in fresh poultry. Antibiotics and hormones have been banned for > 20 years and new legislation has tightened the noose on drug which may be used to even treat food animals.
Yes, there are farm raised foods from overseas, esp goat meat and fish. New regulations have limited the amount of imports for these products...but even these products are inspected via new DNA processes. That's how they found out about horse meat being shipped in as beef and cat meat for chicken from Asian countries.
No store should be getting bad meat--all meat in America is inspected--Food Safety Inspection Service...there is an inspector(s) assigned to plants who are to be there on site 24/7 or whenever opened. NO bad meat should be happening ESP on the regular. If it is, send me the name and location. That can be easily fixed or shut down.
Bottom line is: grow your own or KNOW who is growing it. That is the only way I know to have >10% control over your food. Raise the calf, pig, goat--slaughter it and put it in the freezer. Start a garden...pluck the veggies...YOU know what you put in there.
Oh, Sodium hydroxide(lye) molecules are not small enough to be a carrier through skin. You can burn the skin layers away to contact blood...but again, they are not vehicles to carry from the external to the internal. Sodium hydroxide poisoning usually is via ingestion...but let's ask Tigerpride....He is the chemist on the board, I believe.
