Regarding the taboo against eating pork:
The story I heard is that people and pigs are soooooooo much alike....it'd
almost be canabilism....
No.....seriously....
People and Pigs ARE very much alike...metabolicaly...to the extent that they
have many of the same diseases. In other words....you can get sick eating
the meat of a diseased pig....youre not near as likely to get sick eating
the meat of a diseased cow, horse, wildebeste, ostritch....<whatever>...
Or so I heard...perhaps it's a myth..
