disease, would a bottom feeding fish also be considered unclean.
Yet they are eaten by all people.
Carp are not eaten by many people because they eat all the stuff that floats to the bottom but it's not a religious precept.

My philosophy is if it tastes good, eat it. I don't restrict myself from certain things because religion says too. I believe if you're a good person and live a good life all of the other things like restraining from red meat on fridays shouldn't matter.

That's not true. In Judaism, where pork is not allowed to be eaten, bottom feeding fish like carp and catfish are not allowed to be eaten. Any fish eaten has to have both fins and scales--and fish that have these things aren't garbage fish. Same goes for birds, we cannot eat scavenger or birds of prey.

Many fish and animals will eat just about anything. You can get sick from any fish, meat or eggs. It is silly to think that pork meat somehow has more germs. In our day and age if you handle raw meats properly and cook them well then you won't get sick so it does not matter. However, not eating pork because it is a traditional value that is a part of your religion is a different story.

In the Bible the only fish we are allowed to eat have scales AND fins. If they don't have both, we can not eat them. That includes lobster, Clams, Catfish, Carp, and all bottom feeders.

As for meat requirements. We are allowed to eat the meat of animals who Chew their cud AND have a split hoof. Those animals are considered clean. None of them are garbage eaters.

Birds that are not scavengers are also ok. Chicken, Turkey... grain eaters.

Many feel that vegetarianism is actually healthier in this day and age because of all the horrible things done to make our livestock grow faster and the pollution in the water.

I believe that shelfish, like crab and lobster, falls into this category, and the Bible i think says not to eat it. There are a lot of diseses associated with shelfish. Also, cod, rock cod, is a botton feeder, and gets worms and green liver, and if you eat it raw you can get liver flukes.

your premise is flawed.
Several people DO eat pork
mcdonalds has a booming business based on pork based breakfast foods..
Pork fried rice is a staple at many a chinese resturant
I could go on but you get the idea
Carp is probably not as easy to raise as the pig but if it was Mcdonalds would add some grease to it and make another billion selling carpburgers too

Yes, the Jews wrote in the Bible that all fishes without scales and crustaceans are unclean for this very reason.

No, the reason for not eating pork is not what they eat, but the trichinosis that they carry. We now know that if pork is thoroughly cooked there is no risk, but before this was understood, eating pork could kill you - so the ban gives a reason (unclean) that is wrong to produce a safe result.
