why don't jewish people eat pig?
However, God prohibits Jews from eating pork since it is an animal that has a split hoof but does not chew the cud. As with many of the laws of the Torah, there is no real reason given for why Jews cannot eat pork. The Bible only states that the pig is unclean.hanks for the information. For quite a while I had been curious as to the reason why Jewish folks did not eat pork. I had heard it was because pigs were unclean but having been around family and neighbors that raised chickens, one would wonder why Jews then don't eat chicken as well if that were the only reason.
