cos back in the old days there was no chickens in the holy land but there was a few disease ridden pigs when pass the worms on to humans. When they worked out that pigs were bad for you they forbid the eating of it.

Well it’s about time they updated their ideas along with the rest of their backward religion. I am not saying other religions are any better but at least they have some idea on how to get along in the modern world.
