nothing wrong with pork, religions put a taboo on it in the past because when cooking out doors with a fire people would under cook it and get sick. So to stop the people from getting sick and dying, religions told the ignorant people that 'god' didn't want you to eat it. And as you know ignorant people are afraid of 'god'

Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork or wild game infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm. There are eightTrichinella species; five are encapsulated and three are not. [1] Only three Trichinella species are known to cause trichinosis: T. spiralis, T. nativa, and T. britovi. [1] Between 2002 and 2007, 11 cases were reported to CDC each year on average in the United States; [2] these were mostly the result of eating undercooked game, bear meat, or home-reared pigs. It is common in developing countries where meat fed to pigs is raw or undercooked, but many cases also come from developed countries in Europe and North America, where raw or undercooked pork and wild game may be consumed as delicacies.

I grew up working in my dad's fast food & BBQ joints where the BBQ was legendary (still is, actually). There is nothing like taking a couple hundred lbs of pork butt off the pit at midnight and digging in while it is hot. When I was in school I ran our BBQ place, which closed at 10. About midnight on weekends I'd have my friends over, we'd re-open the place for "invited guests" and feast on pork, brisket, ribs and fried shrimp. Health food. We had lots of great times after hours...
