Is it safe to eat pork meat and pork products?

Answer 1

It is according to your religion and/or your health. If your religion forbids it then it is a sin and therefore wrong. If you suffer from high blood pressure or other problems, you should watch your pork intake as it is not as healthy for you as other meats. == Some would say: "It's wrong to do so, but if you are hungry you may." == Deuteronomy 14:8: "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." Some would say that the above answer applies only to those who follow it for either dietary reasons, or personal taste, or to those who follow Judaism. Some Seventh Day Adventists also abstain from pork for health reasons.

If one is a Christian there is absolutely no prohibition on the eating of pork, according to the New Testament.

1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"

2 "Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;"

3 "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with Thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."

4 "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:"

5 "For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."

Answer:

Lev:11:8: Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

Lev:11:7: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Unclean in The Bible usually refers to what is unhealthy or outright harmful. Compare the following verses in which the word unclean appears:

Lev:13:8: And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

Lev:13:27: And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

Unclean here refers to leprosy, a deadly disease. God categorizes the eating of unclean foods with a deadly disease, or in other words something to be avoided for one's health.
Acts:10:14: But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Acts:11:8: But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

1Timothy:4:3:"Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." This Scripture passage (verse 3) refers to meats "which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving" by His people. These meats, as we have already discovered, are the clean meats listed in Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14. Verse 4 makes it clear that all creatures of God are good and not to be refused, provided they are among those created to "be received with thanksgiving" (the clean animals). Verse 5 tells why these animals (or foods) are acceptable: they are "sanctified" by God's Word, which says they are clean, and by a "prayer" of blessing, which is offered before the meal. Please note, however, that God will destroy people who try to "sanctify themselves" while eating unclean foods (Isaiah 66:17).----Amazing Facts Bible study guide "God's free health plan". === === === ===

Answer 2

Pork is actually known to be full of tiny worms, that once inside your body multiply quickly. Other than that, Jews as well as Muslims are forbidden of eating pigs in any form. Otherwise pork is quite safe for consumption.

Answer 3

According to the National Pork Board, newly release data from the USDA shows that 6 of the most common cuts of pork that you will find in the meat case are, on average, 16% leaner and have 27% less saturated fat than 15 years ago.

This means that today certain types of pork products are just as favorable to eat as other meats and poultry. Specifically pork chops and pork loin roast are actually leaner that skinless chicken thighs! Also, pork steaks or roasts from the leg are also lean choices.

Fat is the least of your concerns with pork its easy to remove, however Pigs eat dead and decaying animal carcases and excrement of other animals, in fact they will eat anything. They have been reported as having very inefficient livers so a lot of the toxins they could ingest is passed into the meat. It is a great pity as pork and bacon taste delicious but it is a risky food to eat. Pork pies also account for a very high amount of food poisoning incidents.
