Bird Respiratory System

The avian lungs are pretty neat, and can be considered an improvement over the typical mammalian lungs.

Avian lungs have air sacs that extend into bones and muscles. The air sacs act as bellows to directly deliver oxygen to sustain the high metabolic rate needed to enable flight.

Below is a picture with better description of the unique avian anatomy:

Pork + Coca Cola = Lies!!!

What happens when you mix religion fundamentalisms and pseudoscience?
You spread lies to children. It's indeed a load bull of hypocrisy when religions supposed to espouse the divine truth.

There are numerous youtube post on maggots or worms coming out of pork, after being treated (marinated) with Coca-cola. The story paints a negative picture on pork eaters (note: non believers) and gives merits to certain religion that prohibits pork consumption (the believers).


Any type of meat may contain parasites, be they endoparasites or endoparasites. Besides, uncovered meat (especially those bought from butchers in the wet and open market) are exposed to opportunistic flies wanting to lay their eggs. The appearance of maggots is no longer a surprise. Premium butchers that keep their meat covered reduces the likelihood of maggots.

Even if there are fly eggs and parasitic worms in pork, they are killed during the cooking process. Even boiling alone is sufficient to kill. Else why do we bother boiling water before drinking if such parasites remain alive? And no sane person continues to consume meat already infested by maggots. 

Bear in mind, pork consumption is widespread around the world. You don't see people drop dead instantly. Pork is only harmful when it is consumed in excessive amount, as pork is rich in saturated fats and cholesterol, leading to higher risk of getting cardiovascular diseases.

Here is a good discussion carried out by our skeptical community in Facebook: Link
It had a surprising conclusion: Coca-cola appears to be a good ingredient for meat marination. :)

This whole incident disgusts me how ignorant people resort to ignorance to spread falsehood in the name of promoting their belief. They rather twist facts and evidence only to further their imaginative cause.

Lastly, could haters probably are harbouring jealously towards bacon haters?

Here's something for haters to increase their hatred:
