There are several relgions who will not eat pork as they believe God has forbidden them from doing so. Muslims don't eat pork because they believe it to be a filthy disease-carrying beast, which in medical terms may well be true. The Qur'an strictly forbids them from eating pork: "He has only forbidden you dead meat and blood and the flesh of swine and any food over which the Name of Allah has not been invoked."( Qur'an 2:173). The Jewish people are also forbidden pork for similar reasons as Muslims. As well as considering the pig to be an unclean beast, the Jews are forbidden from eating any animal with cloven hooves: "....and the swine, because it divideth the hoof yet yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean...." , (Deuteronomy 14:8). Seventh Day Adventists also refrain from pork for the same reasons.

There are also some people who will argue that all Christians should not pork because Jesus said that He had not come to destroy the law and prophets, but to fulfil them. (refer Matthew 5 17:19).
