Playboy He said that why something is Kosher isn't really health laws. Its economics. He says Pork will give you lock jaw and that hurts. Beef will kill you dead in 101 ways. He says Beef takes less water to raise than Pork. The Jews had less water than the tribe down the hill by the water with all the pigs. So they'd have to buy their Pork from those guys. Bad Tribal economics. As there is such a thing. Don't complain to me complain to Martin Buber. Probably channeling on MartinBuber.com.
