Ohh! That Is Why We Cannot Eat Pork

The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.


ORK is prohibited from being consumed in my family. Many families of the same faith as mine (Islam) practise the same prohibition. My Jewish friends (and some Christians) also say no to pork. Others who are vegans or vegetarians, or even health freaks, also stop themselves from consuming pork. On the contrary, many others do enjoy pork. It seems that pork maintains a certain moist in its flesh even when cooked extensively - which explains the pinkish colour of pork, ham and bacon. I, once, accidentally ate ham after the deli mistakenly gave me a 'Cheese and Ham Croissant' instead of a 'Cheese and Chicken Croissant'. In my opinion, it is nothing to shout about. I prefer chicken or fish anytime.
 
No offence to friends who eat pork (or ham or bacon or lard), but perhaps a bit of non-religious information should objectively pursuade people to stop consuming pork. Coincidentally, and recently, an Evangelist from St. Petersburg, Florida, by the name of John Robert Cofer, whose facebook account is JR Cofer, posted a really good account of justifications of why we should not eat pork. I am a Muslim. If I argue the case from Islam's perspective, teachings and literature, the inherent Islamophobia within non-Muslims will outshadow the wisdoms. Therefore, JR Cofer conveniently provides me with the avenue with necessary persuasion given that he is not a Muslim. Mr Cofer laid down 13 problems associated with pork as follows:
  1. A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.
  2. The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.
  3. When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.
  4. Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.
  5. Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.
  6. Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.
  7. When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.
  8. Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts, and eggs will be killed.
  9. Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.
  10. Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.
  11. The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:8).
  12. The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.
  13. The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

So, there you go. Eat the pork if you must... but don't offer me please :)
