Thoughts and Reflectons: Pig Lovers and Pig Haters.

Four Explanations as to why pork is not eaten in the Middle East?

  • Pigs were originally sacred. The reason for not eating them was that many were originally divine.
  • Another reason is that the pig is literally a dirty animal because it wallows in its own urine and eats their own poop.
  • Maimonides a renaissance said that food had intended the ban on pork as a public health measure.
  • Pigs are difficult to move. Pig has a further disadvantage for nomadic pastoralists, because you don't get anything extra from the pigs like milk, wool, or other stuff for farming.
What is the real reason pork is not eaten in the Middle East?
  • Before 2,000 B.C people ate pork. But it was increasingly expensive, that only rich people ca afford it. It was much better to raise some other than pigs, that better suited for the Middle East.   A good way to make teen stop raising pig was through god telling them to stop eating pig.
How's is this an environmental issues?
  • Pig used a lot of natural resources that are source in the Middle East. Pigs tasted good  but it was too expensive to feed them and keep them cool.
