It’s also used in non food ways like curing rubber.
Maybe it was to do with taking care and eliminating a problem. Meat would’ve been a problem if it was not cured?

According to the online dictionary below, the word is of Latin origin, "cura" = care, trouble, concern. It then pased into Old French, and then from there into the English language. Makes sense, as it is similar to our modern English word "care'. We also have the word "curator", of a museum, for example.

Not mentioned in the online dictionary, but of interest: modern Greek has the word "κουράζω" (curazo) = tire (can mean to trouble someone), become tired. Ancient Greek has επικουρέω (epicureo) modern Greek epicuro = to help.

Health food advocate Basil Brown died after drinking around 10 US gallons of carrot juice over the course of ten days and he turned bright yellow before he died. This is why you should not eat so many carrots or a lot of them on a daily basis.

I just saw a guy walking his dog with a cement block attached to what I think was the leash and he was dragging the block on the ground.

Was the dog a Husky?

No. It was a large black one. I think it was a lab but can’t be sure since it was mostly dark out and there wasn’t a whole lot of light where he was.

In reading this book, Spark*, I realized that I was almost electrocuted at about age 11.
My parents had just put up a new hanging light fixture. It was evening, & they asked me to pull the chain & turn it on. I had bare feet, was touching the metal heat register with one foot, reached up to click the chain and BLAM. Next thing I knew I was sitting on the floor, gasping for breath.

Poshmark had great shopping recommendations for me this morning.
Would be great if
1. I actually had money in my wallet
and
2. If these clothes came in sizes meant for someone who is about 4’11” and almost 200 pounds.
