I'd much rather eat ham than turkey on Thanksgiving. Ham tastes so much better and isn't as dry as turkey.
I'm sure when the bible was being written they didn't know about trichinosis and other diseases, so they probably thought when they got sick from eating ham or pork it was God's way of punishing them. Or, they considered pigs "unclean" because they wallow around in mud and generally don't smell good. But with our modern understanding of cooking methods to kill bacteria and parasites, there's no reason to eat meat from pigs.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
