[quote=Anonymous]The problem with saying “pork isn’t kosher because of trichinosis” is that plenty of other people in the ancient near east didn’t have this prohibition. Are we supposed to think only the ancient Israelites realized pork could make you sick? I personally don’t buy that. Same thing with shellfish. Also, many of the other kashrut rules seem fairly arbitrary (why isn’t chicken parve, they don’t produce milk? why is burying a knife in dirt sufficient to kasher it sometimes?), so it makes little logical sense to think the whole system was some kind of proto-public health campaign.
