in the times of the old testament, pork was considered unsafe but not becuase it was fed scraps or anything else - because they had no refridgeration!

Because god made their bodies and immune systems different. If a jewish man or woman eats pork they will get sick and possibly die. Hope this helps.

Because it is not kosher. I think that they think that because pigs are fed scraps, then they aren't clean, whereas beef is fed grain, and it is clean.
