Other #75612 Monotheist Religion and Food

[AskSatanOperator]

I have a question. Why do monotheistic religions forbid pork or any type of animal? For example, is there any benefit to eating pork forbidding it?

The pork was probably causing some health problems at the time due to how it was being processed (tapeworms). So someone made it a law banning its consumption. Syrian rue was used as a dye in some places. It a MAO inhibitor which doesn't mix with pork or shellfish. There are a lot reasons that probably made sense at the time.
