I’ve got an intolerance to most animal fats, which means I’ve never been able to digest pork. My dad’s got the same thing, and while his case is less severe, he doesn’t eat pork either, so we never had it in the house.
The smell of pork generally and specifically that of bacon are extremely unpleasant for me. I can tolerate it for a while, but it wears on me about as much as high pitched background noise.
Lol mines a bit different. My grandparents aren’t Jewish but they celebrate basically every Jewish holiday (Passover, feast of tabernacles, days of unleavened bread etc) and don’t eat pork or unclean fish and instilled that into me as a kid even though my mom wanted to break away from it (they didn’t celebrate Christmas or Halloween or anything but my mom wanted me to experience that) but it’s the one thing that stuck and as I grew up i just ended up not wanting to eat it and eventually it just grossed me out
Depending on where you are*, it’s a hassle to avoid pork, but it’s honestly not a bad thing for your health, plus pigs are smart. It sounds like there might be other factors involved, but at least the pork thing sounds reasonable to me, lol. Plus Purim is super fun to celebrate.
*I grew up in the US avoiding pork and thought it was annoying. I then moved to Germany and realized the US is very accommodating in comparison
Lol even in prison they’re accommodating out here due to so many people converting to Islam while locked up. A bunch of the meals in the processing facility i was at which is where you get poked and prodded for diseases, mental health issues and determined where you’re gonna end up for the long term were pork based but you just had to say “meat free!” and you’d get a pork free tray. I was pretty surprised by that
I don’t eat pork and the smell of bacon is nauseating to me personally
I thought about that shortly after I posted my initial comment. I realize it’s not for everyone, hope I didn’t offend anyone.
