Good to know.No they probably got some sort of religious reasons, back in the day they let their pigs eat any trash and even fed them dead bodies so as a result people would often catch diseases from eating pork. So in response, many religions banned their consumption as a way to keep people safe.
obviously that's no longer the case these days, but people still follow those tenets because its not like they go back and make revisions to holy literature to keep up with the times or anything.
I don’t eat it often, but I was never going to stop anyway. I used to feel a little bad when someone would tell me they didn’t eat pork for religious reasons. I didn’t understand why TMH would make it taste so good (I was a child )
I have a cousin who swore it off years ago. Of course his folks are the best cooks and would prepare amazing dishes for the holidays so we’d be eating anyway lol
