There are several relgions who will not eat pork as they believe God has forbidden them from doing so. Muslims don't eat pork because they believe it to be a filthy disease-carrying beast, which in medical terms may well be true. The Qur'an strictly forbids them from eating pork: "He has only forbidden you dead meat and blood and the flesh of swine and any food over which the Name of Allah has not been invoked."( Qur'an 2:173). The Jewish people are also forbidden pork for similar reasons as Muslims. As well as considering the pig to be an unclean beast, the Jews are forbidden from eating any animal with cloven hooves: "....and the swine, because it divideth the hoof yet yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean...." , (Deuteronomy 14:8). Seventh Day Adventists also refrain from pork for the same reasons. There are also some people who will argue that all Christians should not pork because Jesus said that He had not come to destroy the law and prophets, but to fulfil them. (refer Matthew 5 17:19).
Many religions have a prohibition against alcohol (for example, Bahá'ís, Muslims, some Christians); some have a prohibition against eating meat in general; some have a prohibition against specific meats (for example, Jews and Muslims have a prohibition against eating pork - and Jews have various additional food-related prohibitions).
Some religions have dietary restrictions. Here are a few examples although it is just a sample-- Judaism has kosher laws that forbid the eating of pork, non-fish seafoods, the mixing of meat and dairy products in the same meal; mammals with certain types of hoofs. Islam has laws permitting foods classified as halal--pork and alcohol are fobidden. Most Hindus are vegetarian and most do not eat cattle; cows are considered sacred. Certain branches of Indian religions also do not eat eggs, fungi, or onionlike vegetables.
In ancient times, eating pork put one at risk of developing trichinosis, a disease caused by worms found in pork. Pork was considered unclean, unhealthy(lots of fat), and cruel--pigs are extremely intelligent animals.In the Bible, God tells us not to kill.Answer:1) When God orders permits or prohibits something, there usually is a reason.2) It was later found that pigs have many drawbacks that would affect human health;they are a perfect media for breeding new species of viruses and bacteria.a)-they carry within meat many kinds of parasites,b)-the fatty tissue is not separated from the meat, but the triglycerides are embedded in the protein, hence increasing the chance of atherosclerosis,c)-pigs eat unclean food, they are created to clean earth from garbage, something which is not suitable for human to eat.
