Since I am a black guy and I don't eat pork, people assume I am Muslim (which is funny since the Bible mentions something about not eating swine but then Jesus said in the New Testament something like, "it is not about the filthy animal he eats but the words of his mouth and so on). But then it also goes to some of these things also:
- pigs have no sweat glands...
- eat their own feces, children, basically anything
- love dirty enviornments
- no reference to a pig is good: ballhog in basketball, pig stey (I can't spell today), eat like a pig
- often pass on diseases to humans who eat them often for long periods of time
Pigs are scavengers and that's why the Bible prohibits the eating of it. To eat it would defile your body. There are many scavengers that are mentioned in the Bible that people are not to eat.
I'd like to see some background information on the 'pigs often pass on diseases to humans who eat them often for long periods of time'.
We had big cases of mad cow decease and bird influenza, but fatal pork chops? No reports.
Pigs are actually more resilient to infections and parasites because of their varied diet and effective immune system.
Jews and Muslims are a silly lot when it comes to food. Pork is healthy for you, considering it is cooked/prepared right. Besides, chickens eat their own shit, chickens live in dirty environments; why doesn't Judaism and Islam forbid them?
"Pigs harbour a unique (when compared to other domestic animals) range of parasites and diseases that can be easily transmitted to humans. These include trichinosis, cysticercosis, and brucellosis. Very commonly, pigs are also known to host large concentrations of parasitic ascarid worms in their digestive tract. The presence of these diseases and parasites is one of the main reasons why pork meat should always be well cooked or cured before eating. Some religious groups that consider pork unclean refer to these issues as support for their views. "
*I still don't know how to use the quote thing properly so forgive this laziness. Pig - Wiki
I could've used anything else but Wiki but I was too lazy because it was one of those "duh" things.

I love pork and bacon rules, my wife doesn't eat pork not because she doesn't like it but she had a pet pot belly pig growing up and to her it would be eating your pet.

My Sister's like that. She won a lamb in a carnival contest which she took home and put in our backyard, it lived as our pet for about two months. Then, my Dad sent her to summer camp and killed and ate the Lamb while she was gone there.
