Why do People of the Jewish Faith not eat Pork?
Pork is specifically mentioned in the Torah as a unkosher animal, therefore it is forbidden to eat. Leviticus 11:4 explicitly prohibits the consumption of animals that do not have two basic characteristics: cloven hooves and chew their cud. “But this is what you shall not eat from among those that bring up their cud or that have split hooves; the camel, for it brings up its cud, but its hoof is not split— it is unclean to you; and the hyrax, for it brings up its cud, but its hoof is not split— it is unclean to you;and the hare, for it brings up its cud, but its hoof is not split— it is unclean to you; and the pig, for its hoof is split and its hoof is completely separated, yet it does not chew its cud— it is unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh nor shall you touch their carcass— they are unclean to you.” Leviticus 11:4-8 As to why Nigella Lawson uses bacon, well first I don’t know if she’s Jewish and if she is, she’s just a non-observant Jew.
