Why Jewish people don't eat pork?

Question

Why Jewish people don't eat pork?

Answer 1

It is supposed to be unclean,I think the idea may have been born from fear of getting sick. Anyway it ended up as a religious law so it is part of their faith.  To the answer above me,i'm glad to hear some Jewish folks enjoy bacon and ham. I never knew any did.

Answer 2

A pig eats and plays in his own......Cheers!

Answer 3

Hi Mark,

Only religious Jewish people, people who keep kosher or just people who follow Jewish tradition don't eat pork because it says not to in the holy scriptures.  However, I eat bacon and ham and I love it.  I do not keep kosher.  In Israel today, pork can be found in some grocery stores and in most non-kosher restaurants.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })
