God hates shrimp

It is not a co-incidence that the critters in the water which lack fins and scales are
mostly bottom feeders (what is a heavy metal? and doesn't make noise) or scavengers.

When it comes to pork, the creator knew the eating habits of that creature (with it's nose in the earth eating anything it finds) and the possibility of trichinosis.

The "Clean" animals were to chew the cud and part the hoof.
A rabbit ought not be hunted until freezing weather because of parasites- they have only one of the above features. Cows of course, have both.

The Israelis are among the healthiest of people groups. I wonder why.

Especially now, with what has been dumped into the seas- I avoid eating things that crawl on the bottom.

Um.... so why then did the fucking "creator" create them that way? For that matter, why did he "create" the Trichinella spiralis in the first place?

Makes your 'god' something of an idiot.


A more logical reason is that the general absence of pig bones in Judahite archaeological sites and the commonality of them in Philistine and Phoenician sites indicates that this was simply a way of doing what religion does best: create a wedge between peoples. Pigs need more water than sheep and goats...a commodity in short supply in Judah most of the time. The Philistines and Phoenicians had pigs because they had sufficient water to raise them.

Shiites are against shellfish too.
Alevis prohibit rabbits (but are okay with alcohol)

Alcohol is better for the body (in the quantities throughout most of history) than eating the banned foods in the climates of antiquity.
