Most sole proprietors use a calendar year accounting period. Some businesses have seasons that don't follow the traditional calendar. If your business will have such seasons, you may be eligible to use a 12-month fiscal year that ends on the last day of any month except December.

Pork is an arguably healthy meat from a biochemical perspective, and if consumed from a humanely raised pastured hog like those on Joel Salatins' farm and prepared properly, there is likely minimal risk of infection. However, virtually all of the pork you're likely to consume do not fit these criteria. Many of the bacteria found in the pork were resistant to multiple antibiotics. 2  If you choose to eat pork, I recommend seeking a naturally raised, pastured source, although this is no guarantee of safety. 3  Pastured pigs are vulnerable to Trichinella spiralis infectionâaka âpork wormââdue to their exposure to wild hosts.
