Eating pork

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

And then I saw this:

Monster Pig

Anyway, do you partake of swine?

They taste delicious.

So do deer and they don't do all that nasty stuff. Almost anything is better to eat than pig.

Yeah I eat Bacon on occasion but I can't stand the taste of any other form of pork. Dirty filthy animal ,yes. Tasty, no.

I have to agree with Bardock, they taste great which is a good enough reason for me to eat them.

Besides do you think cows are healthy or can you think of a positive saying with a cow in it? Doesn't mean we shouldn't eat cows.

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've seen humans dirtier. Mostly at Tool concerts.

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.

Well at that time in history, people didn't understand the importance on cooking things well, and pork has many parasites.

The same with cow and chicken (no pun), not to mention fish left uncooked.

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 could've used anything else but Wiki but I was too lazy because it was one of those "duh" things.

They do consider predator birds to be off the menu.

Not to mention the dreaded Taenia Solium.

There are non-pork varieties of that harbinger of doom.

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.

She still can't eat Lamb, 15 years later.
