this is what islam-world says is the reason, i actually thought it was because the pig was sacred to them..
Im not convinced about the 'medical experts' qualifications though!!

'There is a saying in English that "a man becomes what he eats." According to physicians and medical experts, pork is a harmful diet. Consumption of swine-flesh creates lowliness in character and destroys moral and spiritual faculties in a man.' (Why Islam Forbids Pork? By Rashid Shamsi)

It is realy a case of common sense like the Jews Moslems consider certain foods unclean, as they do not keep in hot climates, and soon become rancid. Hindus worship certain animals and consider them Sacred. Such as the Cow.

How long have they been telling us EAT RED MEAT as part of a healthy diet!!

Now DON'T eat red meat, it will kill you!!

GET A GRIP is all I can say!!

Think the message is not that you shouldn't eat it just that you do so in moderation.

If we were to listen to all the ‘experts’ we wouldn’t eat anything, except government issued nutritional biscuits. Maybe that is where we are heading?

So the ‘experts’ are advocating that we eat white meat. Does that include white veal? You know where the calf is held in a veal crate unable to move, fed nothing but a milk sop and sometimes bled regularly before it is killed.

http://www.britishmeat.com/veal.html

I use 2 pints of proper milk daily, non of this homogenised or skimmed rubbish. I eat bacon and red meat, but never touch the fat because I don’t like it. I make chips in beef dripping once in a while. I use real butter on my bread or boiled potatoes. I fry eggs as well as scramble or soft boil them. I use a bit of salt in my cooking but then there is no need for extra salt when eating. I like sweet tea so I use sugar and on my morning cereal.

In other words I pay no attention to the ‘experts’ and I’ve lasted 70 years and I’ve got most of my teeth too.

Muslims and Jews won’t eat pig products because the animal is seen as ‘unclean’ panther. A pig will eat just about anything. Hindus won’t eat beef because the animal is supposed to be ‘sacred’.

Heaven forbid!

Come the day, we'll be eating 'soylent green'.

I think that there is something in the Koran about the pig being a dirty animal and therefore they are not permitted to eat it.

A bit like Hindus can't eat beef because the cow is sacred to them.

I enjoy a ciggie, a brandy and a nice steak. Well, when I can afford them and I have no intention of stopping anything. We all enjoy different things and that is how it should be.

Make the most of it.......BACON BUTTIES FOREVER!!

I'll second that, Junetta.

I will eat drink and smoke what I like ( well if the government will allow it that is)

came on here to chill out.... guess what it did not work :-)

buttonsmum · 01-11-2007, 16:08

If we listened to everything they said, we would end up starving to death. As they say a little bit of what you fancy does you good.

Long live the bacon butty i say!

And then we'd be contracting 'mad person' disase, that would be bad for you. We could have nervous breakdowns worrying about what these 'experts' on nothing keep firing at us. My advice for what it's worth,is, If you like it and you'r fit and well doing it eat it, if you like a fag smoke and be happy. The only difference is ten years in a gereatric ward.
