Biblical food laws: Why are so many animals 'UNCLEAN'?

“…this hotel always serves bacon-wrapped shrimp. That's my number-one favorite food wrapped around my number-three favorite food.” - Ron Swanson, Parks & Recreation When it comes to the issue of which foods are “clean” and which are “unclean”, the Hebrew Bible devotes an entire chapter to the subject. So…why don’t most Christians keep Kosher? What does it mean for food to be “unclean”…and does that apply to all of humanity, or just to Israel? In this episode we take a deeper look at the concept of Torah’s food laws and their significance for God’s people throughout the ages.
