Reluctance To Some Meal

Before the Deluge, God had forbidden His chosen people to eat animal flesh... it was after the Big Flood that He ordered Noah and his family to eat it. Why be reluctant to eat pork on New Year's Day... is it dirty and disgusting? But isn't poultry or beef any cleaner that pork is? Let me have this tasty meal, and ridicule those who won't: hypocrites, I say shamelessly.... don't call me a guiltless pagan, I read from the Holy Scriptures as God spoke so adamantly. Let me have sour kraut and black eyed peas along with red wine and crunchy bread: to celebrate what the Lord created and the Earth abundantly gives!
