I've heard that the taboo on pork has some basis in fact. In resource poor geographies, pigs compete with men for food sources. It is better to raise animals that don't eat your food. Regards, Bob S.
Might have something to do with trichinosis. Especially in a nomadic desert culture whose primary cooking fuel is dung.
Dung fires don't cook pork sufficiently to kill the parasites. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
