It is widely held that Pork was considered unclean as it does, in fact, go bad faster than most other meats if unrefridgerated. Therefore for communities who lived in hot climates, it was probably quite a sensible meme (is this the right context for a meme?) at the time, keep your people healthy by banning pork products.

Now, however, we have all kinds of fancy ways to stop meat going bad, but because at some stage some rabbi / mullah got pissed off / lazy about trying to educate / cajoule people literally dying for a pork chop, took the easy way out and declared "God says don't eat Pork!" the Pig farmers of the world are denied a significant market, and the worshippers of two major religions will never enjoy a good bacon sarnie. Sad. Pork chops taste GOOD!

thats why i could not be a good Jew, even after trying really hard. pig is worth eternal damnation.

i think pork is unclean cuz its meat is more likely to carry certain diseases than others. thus, for sanitary reasons, they made it "godly unclean" like circumcition and stuff like that.
