How I Hate the smell of Pork Ribs

[The One and Only Mo]

Not non kosher foods. But Fatty foods like pork / burgers french fries stuff like that. So I can relate.

Chaim will disagree but I think it's important to point out that there are different kinds of fat: trans fat (horrible, evil stuff, it's basically Vaseline, it stays in your arteries forever and is what causes the majority of heart attacks/strokes), saturated fat (animal fat; not necessarily bad, but very rich and full of calories), polyunsaturated fat (liquid soybean/corn/canola, etc. oil, which isn't unhealthy, but doesn't particularly help your body out either), and monounsaturated fat (olive and fish oil, which is great for your heart and brain and fights aging).

Corn is good? I thought it was terrible.

You, Jews, have something a million of times better than any food. You have the Shabbat (which if forbidden to us). Keeping Shabbat properly, saying the Kidush, feeling the unification of Sephirah Malchus with the other six Sephirot which are in the Jewish soul (seven of the ten Sephitot are inside your souls), thus bieng able to feel beyond time and space, it's all much worth than an ephimerous pleasure of eating treif. Be strong and protect your Neshamot!

Us Jews, huh? anti-semite  Kidding. But seriously, you are 100 % correct, but dude, the yetzer hara is so strong. You know, for a goy, you're pretty Jewish.

The issue to me, as a Baal Teshuva, one whos observance of Jewish law now exceeds the observance of my parents, is that I have acquired a taste for some of the forbidden food. Some say it is easier to stay away from these forbidden foods if you have never experienced it. Having a taste for something and remembering how it tasted and smelled is hard on a Baal Teshuva. This is why I get sensitive when people discuss forbidden foods such as Cheeseburgers and Pork Ribs, etc...

I just want to remind all Jews that there is much merit in keeping these dietary laws... But gentiles will never really know the power required to abstain from foods which we have grown up with.

Be strong! Don't eat the pork chops, they're not that tasty... Too fatty...

I have never heard anything other than that it is neutral. It has historically made up 90% of the diet of persons living in the Americas.

There are some Gentiles who are kashrut to various degrees, such as the Adventist sect of Christianity. I consider them to be a borderline cult, though.

Well....corn syrup is bad....doesn't it come corn?

[Ari Ben-Canaan]

If I smell food that I cannot eat, but has a pleasant sent... I like to think about how "burning fat in the Temple smells pleasing to The Lord" - I think this concept is painted out in Leviticus.

Although I am sure G-d would not want any pork items sacrificed to him, it's just I imagine burnt fat of any type, kosher or not, would smell similar. - Heck, I am not even sure if it's bacon/pork/ham I smell my neighbors cooking, verily, it may be 100% kosher food.

Corn syrup is liquid sugar basically. I am not even sure that it actually comes from corn. Corn syrup is harmless (though a lot of it will make you fat, like any calorie source).

Tastes like human.
How about some kosher pork?
I think what they do is drain the blood out.

Dolphin, cat, and dog I wouldn't eat. I had whale once. It wasn't particularly tasty. I've heard that seal is very tasty, but Ive never seen it in the stores. Maybe they sell it in Norway and iceland.

[angryChineseKahanist]

Just kidding. I've never had any of the above. Except cow and pig.
