Scientists decided to understand why God divided animals into clean and unclean. I'll rethink my food...

We often eat meat because it is human nature. Although it is believed that before the Flood, people ate only plant foods. Now, during Lent, many refrain from using animal. And this is a great reason to think about why God divided animals into clean and unclean in order to revise his diet in the future.

Editorial "Site" He will tell you about the opinion of scientists about why some animals, fish and birds are classified as clean, and some as unclean. There are a lot of them, so let’s talk about those whose meat is available for residents of the CIS.

Clean Animals Clean Marine Residents
“Pure are those animals and fish that have feathers or fins. This includes fish such as salmon, perch, trout, merlange, carp and many others” (Deuteronomy 14:9, Lev 11:9).

1. Salmon
   In the sea, salmon feed mainly on herring and gerbil. Salmon belongs to carnivorous fish species, it feeds on small invertebrates and zooplankton at an early age.
   
   
   
   
2. karp
   Carp feeds in places rich in plant and animal food, aquatic vegetation, shellfish, crustaceans, worms and other small organisms.
   
   
   
   

Impure marine inhabitants
“And all those who have no feathers and scales, do not eat; it is unclean for you” (Deuteronomy 14:10). These are sharks, swordfish, catfish, whales, dolphins, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, sea shellfish, oysters and many others. According to scientists, God did not accidentally forbid eating these types of water inhabitants. Doctors say that the following types of fish and crustaceans can accumulate a significant amount of heavy metals, as well as contain natural toxic substances. They can be destructive to people.

1. Som
   These fish are called river nurses. The catfish feeds not only on small and weakened fish, but also on crayfish, worms, mollusks, frogs, small waterfowl, as well as a variety of food waste.
   
   
   
   
2. Swordfish
   Swordfish are infected with many parasites. Some worms in it reach 3 meters.
   
   
   
   
3. Shrimp, crabs, crayfish
   They're scavengers. They feed on all the filth that lies at the bottom, including dead water inhabitants and drowned. Therefore, they can act as carriers of dangerous diseases such as typhoid and hepatitis. They also contain carcinogens.
   
   
   
   
4. Oysters and mussels
   Oysters are considered a delicacy. But they actively and effectively purify the water, eat excess algae and plankton, as well as sediment at the bottom. In the process of life, oysters and mussels pass through a huge amount of water, so absorb all the chemistry from it. They can accumulate a poison - saxitoxin.
   
   
   
   

Pure birds To clean include birds of the order of chicken, turkeys, pigeons - everyone who has a goiter. Ducks also belong to pure birds.

1. Ducks
   Ducks eat insects, moss, grass, greens and water plants, as well as small fish.
   
   
   
   
2. Pigeons
   These birds eat grain, spinach, carrots, sorrel, clover and other crops and herbs that are soft and juicy.
   
   
   
   

“Of these birds, abhor (they must not eat, they are unclean): eagle, vulture and sea eagle, owl, pelican, heron, every raven with its breed, ostrich, owl, gull and hawk with its breed, swan ...” (Leviticus 11:13-19).

1. Vultures, gulls, crows.
   They belong to scavengers, because they kill weakened and sick birds and small animals. They eat dead birds and other carrion.
   
   
   
   
2. Hawks, owls, pelicans
   They consume small and medium-sized mammals, birds, insects, rats, frogs.
   
   
   
   

“It is permissible to eat the flesh of cows, deer, buffalo, as well as goats and sheep, chamois, oryx, camelopard” (Leviticus 11:1-3 Deuteronomy 14:3-6).

Goats, sheep, chamois, deer, cows are herbivores. They carefully choose the grass they eat.





The blood of animals is also not suitable for food. Leviticus 7:22-24 states that we should not consume the blood and fat of any of the above animals, or animals that have died or been killed by another animal.


Here God tells us not to eat the flesh of animals such as pigs, rabbits, camels and horses.

1. Camels
   They belong to herbivores, but they feed mainly on spiny plants, dry grass and shrubs.
   
   
   
   
2. Rabbits.
   Here we were very surprised, because rabbit meat is recommended even for children with allergies to many foods. If we talk about the dangers of rabbit meat, then it has purine bases, which turn into uric acid. Settling in the joints and tendons, it causes arthritis, gout, neuroarthritic diathesis in children under one year.
   
   
   
   
3. Horses.
   The horse feeds on grass, cereals and root crops. Eating the meat of these animals endangers our heart, liver and other organs.
   
   
   
   
4. Pigs.
   The pig is omnivorous. She eats roots, worms, carrion, small beasts, including her offspring. Doctors know that there is a link between pork, taken by humans for food, and liver disease. Even children are affected by these diseases.
   
   
   
   

As you can see, everything has a scientific explanation. Dishes from some animals, fish and birds can actually harm your body. But we don’t think that if you eat them in small amounts, something terrible will happen. In addition, modern technologies must be considered. For example, the same oysters in most cases are brought to our countries not from the seas and oceans, but are grown in special pools. Naturally, there is not a lot of dirt and chemical waste.

What food to eat is a personal matter. Some follow biblical teachings and some follow personal beliefs. Tell us in the comments how you feel about the distribution of animals into clean and unclean. You may be interested to hear about another discovery of scientists, which concerns GM foods.
