  Salmonella can be obtained just by touching chickens it doesn’t require eating them. Trichinella is obtained by eating pork, raccoons, foxes, etc

  Conjecture: it may have simply been people were not cooking their pork well enough.

  There was also the result of drawing a sharp line between the in-group and everyone else. If we have strict dietary laws but the people on the other side of the hill don’t share them, then it follows that they’re unspeakable barbarians, and that we should not trade or cooperate with them, let alone intermarry, and indeed, it’s acceptable to kill them and take their stuff, as surely such a barbarous people would do the same to us.

    That doesn’t match up with all the other teaching that all people are the same.

  i have a specific unusual food allergy. I always presumed abraham or ishmael or jacob or moses or one of them mythical folk had a food allergy against pigs and said “you know what, if i started a religion about not eating pigs maybe i wouldn’t get the runs every time i went out to eat”

  Poultry eats carrion as well. Matter of fact, I’d wager pigs are more hygenic than poultry.

  Maybe they just thought pigs are too cute to eat.

      Have you perhaps never seen a pig?

  I thought it was due to the parasites, worms?, that pork gets in hot arid countries which is why both the Jews and Muslims don’t eat it

    No, that’s just an ad-hoc rationalization. Before refrigeration, people didn’t just leave fresh meat lying around. Either it was consumed immediately after cooking it, or it was smoked, cured or dried right away after butchering (people used much more salt than they do nowadays for e.g. modern hams to make sure the meat lasted a long time). The climate doesn’t really matter - in temperate climates fresh meat goes bad rapidly as well.

      Just going to point out that cold storage predates modern refrigeration by literal millenia, hell there was a Greek island that mastered it well enough to consistently manufacture ice cream. I think the term I’ve heard is lagen basically a stone basement with evaporation boxes that can be used to keep tempatures around 50°F. The problem was consistency and how much labor it took to actually build the things, also they’d sometimes just kinda break if the environment shifted too much or were only usable during certain seasons.

    It reminds me of Northern Europeans stereotyping Southern Europeans as lazy. But Northern European don’t realise it is mainly because Southern Europe is very hot to work for longer hours. The Southern European “siesta” of course carried over to Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Before Cuba gained independence from Spain, they only work three hours a day, and this happened only about one hundred years ago.

  Could also just be an exaggerated case of “ew, poor people food”, since pigs will eat damn near anything.

  I guess chickens are similar and take up less space though (plus, eggs). And are arguably easier to transport and defend (a rooster can fuck you up)
