I pray that this will be taken in the spirit of love which it is meant. God Bless You all.
According to the Bible there is a scripture that refers directly to eating of swine and various other insects and fouls.
Leviticus the eleventh chapter speaks of clean and unclean animals and creeping things. Pinpointing the problem with swine.
Leviticus 11:7 - 8
7. " And the swine, though he divide the hoof; and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you."
8. "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; thye are unclean to you."
So if you still hold the Old Testament as law Pastor Joel Olsteen is right The swine is unclean according to leviticus, the book of curses, blessings, and abominations. However there are people who have read the New Testament and believe otherwise.This is a very controversial issue which many people do not get into.
Mark 7:15
" There is nothing from without a man, that entereth into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they which defile him."
The things that enter into a man can not defile him. I have also heard it said that we should bless it and eat. As for my opinion of the issue, I believe that it is unhealthy to some, those who have an issue with high blood pressure they should not eat it. Pork will surely drive it up and that is not a good feeling, even medical providers will also tell you, not to eat it if you have this health concern. Whether we pray over the food or not if our faith is not extremely good, we will feel the effects of it. To bless your food and eat it still may not be enough depending on your relationship with God. A blessing is none other than a prayer and if you do not believe, how will your food be blessed. Therefore we must watch what we eat and try to eat as healthy as we can and we should exercise, if we want to be healthy and feel better. Based on biblical prohibitions it is still a unclean meat therefore we must be careful of what we eat if we are striving to live a healthy, and a happy life. This is an issue that every person should consider for himself and should not force their opinions on another person. Each person knows what they can or can not take within themselves.

This discussion is not to impress my opinions on another person but to state the scripture's and my opinion on the subject.

God Bless You !
