[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it about this animal that makes it to the forbidden fruit list?
What was the reasoning back in the day?[/quote]People even now get sick every year eating shellfish and undercooked pork. People have died.

Back in biblical times, there were no microwaves to nuke the parasites and harmful bacteria in creatures which eat filth, feces, or feast on the dead. These animals God declared unclean to eat.

Similarly, God said not to wear mixed fabrics. Back in those days,[b] there were no powerful detergents, no hot water rinse or steam cycles to destroy fleas and lice which hide and lay eggs in the gap between the two fabrics. [/b]

Note that there was no death sentence for eating unclean foods or wearing mixed fabrics but there was a death sentence for rape of a betrothed woman, homosexuality, and adultery.

Learn more about the highlighted parts. You are very uninformed as to how laundry was done for thousands of years until the 1940s. [/quote]
[i]In ancient Middle Eastern cultures, laundry typically involved [b]handwashing[/b] clothes in rivers, streams, or communal washhouses using natural cleaning agents like wood ash, clay, or even [b]urine[/b]. The process often included beating clothes against rocks to remove stains, followed by rinsing and drying in the sun. [/i](AI Google search).

So you see, there was no steaming or hot water wash, no super hot dryers to dry clothes.

Lye had been invented but not used on an industrial scale like today’s detergents.

For the common person, and the poor, they wore the same clothes often, dirty for days. The nobility probably had good, clean clothes but everyone else, not so much.

If you think urine and sunshine kill nits, fleas, and their tiny eggs, then I think it is you who may be misinformed.

The world was not over populated like it is now. In ancient times the streams and rivers were not polluted. People lived near water. 
Don’t take this so seriously. Locusts are kosher, the stars sing, trees have hands to clap with and god is a rock

Let us all sin and have some bacon
