To Pork or Not to Pork

Observant Noahides don't eat pork for different reasons:

1. Pigs are sensitive. They squeal from pain and fright as a human being might.

2. Pigs have unclean habits. Their dung is remarkably foul and copiously excreted.

3. Pigs eat dung, vermin, and carrion.

4. Pigs do not work--they cannot be ridden--they do not produce milk or eggs for human use.

5. Pigs' flesh resemble human flesh in its texture and aroma. Burnt human flesh smells like burning bacon.

6. To eat the flesh of pigs, the Torah teaches, is an abominable thing.
