Dangers of Eating Pork
http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive...B2668383669FDE
I didn't bother to check all the replies, maybe some clever head already mentioned it but roots of not eating swine even before bible could be found in everyday life of the man who lived in that age.
See muslims mostly lived in the dessert, and jews too. So as egyptians and some other prosperous civilizations.
Since in dessert is very hot it's normal not to eat swine on 40 degrees.
You don't roast your pig, it's unhealthy to eat food with so much fat on that temperature.
MAny of the stuff that is mentioned in the bible actually HAVE their practical purpose.
what alot of people don't know is that Christians are forbidden the swine also. let's look at the FACTS.......
PIG & PORK FACTSTHE pig or swine is a very popular food item with most Christians. Yet Christians are unaware that the God they profess to believe in had condemned the eating of swine's flesh. The condemnation was based on some very sound biological principles. Here are some facts on pork that prove it to be a very unhealthy food to eat:http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.There are other reasons grounded in biological facts that could be listed to show why pigs and swine should not be eaten. But a true Christian should only need one reason why not to eat this type of food because God prohibited it.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:8).
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/images/Redball.gif The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.
"And the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean unto you: you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." - Leviticus 11:7,8; Deuteronomy 14:8
Those who say Christ abolished the law condemning pork are motivated by their stomach not Scripture. The problems with pork are biological, and Christ never changed the laws of biology.
