Why is pork "unclean" ?!
It's not just a religious thing right!? I have heard that pork contains more toxins than any other type of meat!. Is that true!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Of all livestock species, pigs are actually the cleanest!. Most pigs you'll end up eating are kept inside and kept very clean!. Pigs in the US have EXTREMELY strict standards on what can be fed to them based on the Swine Health Protection Act of 1980!. You can find more information on this if you want from the United States' Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's website!. Because of these standards, trichinosis (the illness caused by the roundworm Trichinella spiralis) has had VERY few cases reported in the US (about 2 a year) all of which have been attributed to eating raw game meat or home reared pigs-NOT what you will ever find in any retail market!.
Now keep in mind, this is only the case in developed countries!. While it's becoming less of a problem in other countries, it's still around!. If this is of great concern to you, based on the 2002 Farm Bill, COOL (country of origin labeling) was made mandatory by Sept 30, 2008 for things such as pork, beef, peanuts, shellfish, etc!. COOL will tell you, in the case of pork, where it born, raised and slaughtered (which actually could be 3 different countries)!. If you're interested in more information about COOL, you can find it on the United States' Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Services' website!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is an orthodox Jewish "rule" about food!. I'm not sure how it originated, but it was many centuries ago, and although there is actually absolutely nothing "unclean" in reality about pork,it does not contain more toxins than other meats, and also does not contain trichinosis, which was a danger in the past, which was why it used to have to be cooked well done!. it is called that by very Orthodox Jews!. It goes along with cooking dairy and meat separately, and other traditions that I can't think of offhand!. Perhaps a person of the Jewish faith will see your question and can answer it in more detail than me, but that's where the term originated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
not necessarily!. Pork can/will/could contain a disease called Trichinosis which is killed by thoroughly cooking the meat(so there is no red/rare/bloody)!. This applies to bacon and ham as well!. Smoking the meat also kills the disease!. Bears are related to pigs/hogs and bear meat also has the same Trichinosis disease, so it too must be fully cooked!. I believe this is because both pigs and bears consume mice(and the disease is in the mice)!.
You may hear "its because pigs eat everything"!.

NO! Pigs are actually disinfected each time they move from house to house, along w/ EVERYTHING
(including the ppl and vehicles) else!. Commercial pork is extremely clean!. The pigs themselves are some of the stinkiest animals- right next to chickens!. Jews not eating pork is a religious thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, that's true!. It also contains parasites that if not cooked throughly will live in your system, even the brain!.
I, however, choose to eat what I want, because the Word of God tells me that as long as it is cleaned by prayer and thanksgiving, it is good to eat!. Now I believe that when I pray, it happens!. If your faith is weak, it is better not to eat of it!.!.!.

I have raised pigs and they are actually very clean animals!. Will not poo in just any spot!. They have an area they pick away from their feeding area and do not roll in it!. also are immunized for disease, Pigs are very smart animals!. I also raise chickens and have done a few steers!.!.the chickens and steers are more filthy than the pigs!.It depends on how they are kept and fed!. Our animals are not left to forage for themselves, they are given grain and water every day in clean containers !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
ok its because its from pigs which all ways lives in mud and poo!. which they will get tape worm and other parasites or even disease depending on the age of the pig or hows it raise!. thats why people say to cook the pork all the way so u dont get any thing (tape worm and other parasites or even disease)Www@FoodAQ@Com
