It was just medieval food safety to not eat pork in hot countries. They really need to update their software.

The origin of Abrahamic dietary laws is not certain. There is no obvious benefit in terms of hygiene, also not in ancient times (they long predate “medieval” times). Keep in mind that poultry carries a significant risk of salmonella poisoning.
It has been suggested that the origin might have simply been that pigs are viewed as unclean due to their own diet including carrion. Another speculated reason is that rulers might have wanted to promote poultry due to it being a more economical way of raising livestock.

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”
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 months ago
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.

Maybe they just thought pigs are too cute to eat.
deHaga@feddit.uk 2 months ago
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
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months 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)
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I am thinking of a Dollop episode that discussed pigs in early New York City. They were the trash clean up before there were people dedicated to the job. They were allowed to just run free and scrounge whatever offal they could find. It could have been less that pigs were unclean, rather pigs kept things clean. If people ate all the pigs, there would be corpses and fecal matter lying around for extended periods of time which would cause disease.

isnt mostly pork tapeworm they worry about.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 2 months ago
Poultry eats carrion as well. Matter of fact, I’d wager pigs are more hygenic than poultry.
Raptor_007@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah. Religion is well-known for its acceptance of logic 😆
Bullerfar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s religion, not science. Unfortunately, logic isn’t a requirement.

Yeah wait, can we not make paintballs with…no animal parts?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
Pretty sure it’s jist the shell the paint is in that uses animal parts, and glycerine can be made from plants too. 🤷♂️
ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I’m guessing the shell is made from gelatin or something? Which is made from animal bones. I can’t think of what else would be made from animal.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, that’s kinda buried in the lead.
“Hey, just FYI, all your paintballs have pork fat in them” would be a more startling revelation.

aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Someone needs to explain to me why there’s ANY animal product in a paintball in the first place.
new_guy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Paintballs are made of gelatin. Gelatin is often just collagen and collagen is basically connective tissue.
kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Fun fact! This is why E Ink displays use pig products!
edinbruh@feddit.it 2 months ago
I only did paintball once, and that place didn’t use gelatin balls, I think they were made of a thin bioplastic film (corn stuff) filled with ink

So you don’t need them to be hallal if you just don’t get hit.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Presumably they need to be able to touch their own balls?

I see what you did there. Yes, they hurt halal.

You die.
You ascend to the pearly gates. Saint Peter stands there, or the Islamic equivalent, whatever, holding a book with your record. He flips through it.
“Let’s see. Beat his wife and kids, no problem. Stole massive amounts of money, okay. Generally racist, shouldn’t be an issue. Killed a man in cold blood. It was a Jew, so no great loss. Wait. You used pork paintballs? Are you fucking kidding me?”
A hole opens beneath you. You fall straight to hell.

“Within islam” is doing a lot if work here that should be elaborated upon.
REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Pretty sure halal and Haram are terms used within Islam. Care to elaborate?
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A lor of sects in Christianity also forbid pork too so I think they are talking about that?
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It doesn’t offer any insight into how common these beliefs are or how strict these are adhered to, even comparatively within different sub beliefs.
Within christianity there’s a certain amount of christians that believe specifically in space angels. Obviously halal is more common “within islam” but it seems a little weasely

Are they also required to be… green?

Green is the color of Islam because it is the religion of peas.
