[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Are we supposed to think only the ancient Israelites realized pork could make you sick? [/b]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. [/quote] Finally, evidence for their being a "chosen" people :!: [/quote] Ha, yes, exactly (though, just fwiw, "chosen people" in Jewish context means "chosen by God to have to obey 613 commandments," not "chosen to get special treatment").[/quote]
