Best Answer

The Torah specified that in order for a land animal to be considered fit for eating, it must both chew its cud and have split hooves.

Although pigs have split hooves, they don't chew their cud. In truth, although pork is one of the best known types of meat that religiously observant Jews won't eat, it's actually just one of countless types of meat that are prohibited.
