I feel sorry for peiopkle who have rekligious delusuions which
preclude them from earting certain items, like shellfish or pork, etc.
I understand where the admonishmwent of such food items came from! It
came from a time when refrigeration was nonexistant!! DUH!!! And when
food production was much more apt to include parasites such as
trichinosis! (SP?)
