Answer 2

Bacon IS pork.Pork consists of any meat cut from the flesh of a pig. Bacon is nearly always cut from the belly of a pig and is made by drying, curing, boiling, or smoking long, thin (or sometimes thick) cuts.

Leviticus, Chapter 11

1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Of all land animals these are the ones

you may eat:

3 any animal that has hoofs you may eat, provided it is cloven-footed and chews

the cud.

4 But you shall not eat any of the following that only chew the cud or only have

hoofs: the camel, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is

therefore unclean for you;

5 the rock badger, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is

therefore unclean for you;

6 the hare, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is therefore

unclean for you; and the pig,

7 which does indeed have hoofs and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud

and is therefore unclean for you.

8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their dead bodies you shall not touch; they

are unclean for you.
