Jews who follow kashrut (the dietary laws) can eat eggs if they are from kosher animals, such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys. The eggs must not contain blood though.
Jews who do not follow kashrut can eat anything they want.
There are no explanations about the kashrut laws. It's a Divine command,like the interdiction against killing.
Answer 2
Your Question is wrong. Jews can eat ONLY cloven animals (Deuteronomy 14), but not all cloven animals. The permitted ones are listed there.
The prohibition for Jews to eat swine, which is also a cloven animal, is stated there too (Deuteronomy 14).
Jews are commanded by God to eat kosher foods as listed in the Torah (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are explained in detail in the Talmud-volume of Chullin. Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Processed foods should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.
In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are explained in detail in the Talmud-volume of Chullin.
* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef, venison and mutton).
* Fish have to have scales and fins. Shellfish are not kosher.
* Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only those species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as domestic chicken, geese, pigeons and turkey.
* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as having been prepared in the kosher manner.
* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done at home or by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.
* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.
* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.
Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Processed foods should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant Jews.

Religious!! The Jews and the Muslims do not eat pork. Not only was it stated in the Bible that we should not eat pork, but doctors are beginning to see just how dangerous it can be to eat. Worms can grow in your brain, arteries can be blocked, and you can even get illnesses from it.
