These laws were practiced at one time for many reasons. what with the appalling conditions and lack of sanitation and basic understanding of food hygiene its any wonder people did not die younger than they were already. Those biblical times are gone and we have food safety laws for a reason. Smile and eat bacon! Banning food from your diet because you believe in a sky fairy seems bizarre to me
Actually, that's a crock. Pork was no more dangerous than any other cut of meat at the time. Infested with parasites and disease which no amount of fucking prayer by some douchebag in a funny hat could overcome.
The reality seems to be that the Judahites did not raise pigs whereas their Philistine/Phoenecian neighbors did. I suppose it is a much more logical way of drawing some sort of tribal distinction than cutting off the end of your dick? Sadly, the assholes did that too.
