Why Is Pork Forbidden? The Hidden Truth delves into one of the most pervasive and intriguing taboos in human history: the prohibition of pork. From ancient civilizations to modern times, this simple, humble meat has been banned, avoided, and even feared by billions around the world. But what lies behind this global aversion? What makes pork such a powerful symbol of cultural, religious, and historical significance? The answer is far more complex than just dietary preference or health concerns. In this thought-provoking book, we unravel the deep-seated cultural, religious, and historical forces that have shaped the pork taboo. From the religious texts of Judaism and Islam to the social dynamics that perpetuated this prohibition across continents, we explore how something as ordinary as pork could come to carry such extraordinary weight.
