The New American Standard Bible, Updated Edition - 1995, in Isaiah 66,
places the eating of swine (pork) in the SAME category as the eating of

mice. Check it out.


"Check out the dietary laws in Leviticus. All shell fish are also
unclean. They are the ocean's filters, as are fish which do not have
scales and fins; i.e. the catfish. They are scum eaters. It's about
the same as washing your dishes and then "cooking" the dishrag for
lunch
- or maybe the air filter from your furnace or the air or oil filter
from your automobile. Go ahead! Enjoy your pork and shell fish! But

don't blame God when you come down with some disease!"

That information certainly had some practical value when it was
originally assembled. People knew but didn't understand why some
animals could make them sick if they were eaten so it was good advice
to follow. In todays world it is irrelevant because we know how to
clean and cook food. If the dietary habits of those animals are of
concern to you then you should visit a cattle feedlot or poultry ranch.
Did you know that non-bottom fish can also carry parasites because
they eat the smaller bottom feeders?

You need to look at the world around as it is now rather than blindly
following 2000 year old information.
