Interesting Pork Topic I saw

[sarahaziz 0]

I was watching a christian channel and a doctor said that God put khanzirs in this world to decompose the other animals or their wastes?? Like Lobter, shrimp etc.. But most of all when you open a khanzir it has worms and even if you cook it the worms never "disappear" or whatever you're just eating DEAD worms if you eat the meat. Christians aren't suppose to eat pork also from the Bible. God gets angry if pork is eaten. Thought that was kind of interesting I don't know if anyone else knew the reasoning behind it.

That's actually not true http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/porkworm.asp

That would be really disgusting though.

If you pours Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little

while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it.

A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the Bad

effects of pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORMS

and LATENT DISEASES.

Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals,

modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these

illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to

SCAVENGE and will eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms,

rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other

pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs

share with humans. This illness is haboured in the LUNGS of pigs

during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the

cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage

tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains

EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can

lead to ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES

INFLAMMATION and growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which

leads to SWELLING and deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage,

resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.

Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by

the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human

cartilage.

Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due to

its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN

CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These

tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in

nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through

the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it

reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada

has TRICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.

Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warm them of this, and when they do,

they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT

noticed during meat inspections.

Actually it's just because it says so. The most logical idea is because it's an opportunist. Other forbidden things people don't tend to realize in Torah are camels and rabbits. Scavengers though are forbidden across the board and pigs are opportunists in their eating. The eat both animals and plants and are omnivores. They also will scavenge dead materials. Any carnivore, scavenger, or omnivore is forbidden except scaley fish. Rabbits, although herbivores, are hindgut digesters and eat their "night feces" for nutritional value. Camels do not have split hooves (horses and others fall into this catagory.) The forbidding has nothing to do with worms. If people don't think there are worms in their permissable food.. well... I'm not sure what to say. Worms are a pretty common parasite inside and out of animals (and people if you're not doing to well in your health or live in certain areas). Ask a farmer sometime about worms and sheep/goat butts.

ETA: Jen-- I've heard the weirdest things too! But at any rate, the pig is a "good" animal-- it's useful and it in itself isn't "unclean" according to Torah. It is "good." G-d made it and said so. He then just said to not eat it... along with most other things-- including our fluffy kitty pets-- and most people don't throw a weird fit over that.

Hindus generally will not eat pork either, even if they are not vegetarian.

Pigs are intelligent animals
