The curse on the pork has been a topic of discussion and debate for centuries. According to some beliefs and superstitions, consuming pork is believed to bring bad luck and misfortune. This curse is said to have originated from religious and cultural beliefs and has been passed down through generations. One of the main reasons for the curse on pork is its association with certain religions. In religions such as Judaism and Islam, pork is considered unclean and forbidden to be consumed. This belief is rooted in their religious texts, where pork is described as impure and unhealthy.
Another rule applies to the way milk and meat are prepared and eaten. The Torah says: do not cook a kid-goat in its mother's milk. The elders spent a lot of time discussing what this could mean. They finally agreed that milk and meat should be prepared and eaten seperately. That's why you won't find veal ragout in cream sauce or cheeseburgers on the table of a religious family. Foods which are neither milky nor meaty are considered neutral, or parve. They include fruit and vegetables, for instance.
Also, the Law, including the prohibition against eating pork, stood as a unique sign of the privilege granted to Israel, setting them apart from their pagan neighbors. Genesis 3 vs 18 after the food God added clean flesh foods to the diet, Genesis 7 2-24,9vs1-6 remember Noah went into the boat with seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animals.
This belief is rooted in their religious texts, where pork is described as impure and unhealthy. The curse on pork might have stemmed from the fear of defying religious laws and inviting divine punishment. In addition to religious beliefs, the curse on pork can also be attributed to cultural superstitions.

At creation, God instructed Adam and Eve to eat a diet of nuts, grains and fruits (Genesis 1 vs 29 After Adam and Eve sinned, vegetables were added to their diet. Genesis 3 vs 18) after the food God added ‘clean’ flesh foods to the diet, Genesis 7:2-24,9vs1-6 remember Noah went into the boat with seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animals. He also took seven pairs of each kind of bird. This was done so that every kid of animal and bird will be kept alive to reproduce on earth again.
After the flood Noah offered a sacrifice to God, taking one of each kind of ritually clean animal and bird Genesis 8 vs 20. Then God gave permission to Noah and his son to eat all the animals, birds and fish. And as well as green plants, but God gave a warning not to eat meat with blood in it cause the is life in it. If Noah offered animals that were ritually clean to God, why do we have to eat unclean animals cause our body resemble him? Genesis 1 vs 26 and our body is God’s temple 1 Corinthians 6vs 19,29. How can God be within us when the temple (us human being) is unclean. ‘Do not eat anything that the Lord has declared unclean’ Deuteronomy 14 vs 3.
