swinophobic faiths?

What is the cause of Judaism and Islam's prohibition of pork? And furthermore, why does Christianity waive this ban?

[Howard.Stern]

Because God said not to eat it.
But really because if not cooked properly you'll get sick.

Then Jesus said all animals were clean, or something along those lines.
But really people just knew how to cook and preserve things a little better.

And Muslims don't think Jesus had the power to cleanse the animals. So they stick with the old laws.

I think that's pretty much it.

Because a pig is a filthy animal.

^That is a common misconception.

Thing is,pigs don't have sweat glands, and will lie around in mud to keep cool--given a choice, however, they would prefer clean water to lie around in.

And domesticated pigs don't have much choice regarding their menu, so will eat pretty much whatever is given them--floor sweepings, corpses, whatever.

mmmmm... corpses. Remeber to get you're 6 servings of brains.

Pork is naturally a fatty and cholesterol-laden meat. If God wanted to keep his people healthy, it wouldnt be the best choice of food to give them.

Jesus told Peter to eat a bunch of animals including bugs at one point. Peter complained about it saying that they were unclean. Jesus then replied telling Peter not to call animals unclean which he called clean. (Acts 1:5)

Jesus <3 bacon.

I believe St. Peter had a dream in which God told him to that it was ok to eat non kosher stuff. Plus getting rid of those rules made it more desirable for heathens to convert ot Christianinty.

This post mirrors my own views, thus I quote it, as it shares in what I would believe to be the truth.

There's a long standing conception that pigs are dirty and unfit to eat, thus the campaign with the whole "The Other White Meat" thing. Plenty of old people will refuse to eat pork for the same reason, or will have reservations about doing so. It's probably also a class thing.
