Reply To: Recipe Lethal Beans

ummm bacon bits?? excuse me, but that does NOT come along w traditonal orthodox jewish customs!!;)

YCT says you can eat bacon because we aren’t concerned for Trichinosis now that we have good refrigeration and cooking methods.

Also because it is kavod habrios that non-frum people shouldn’t feel bad when you don’t eat with them, and kavod habrios is an asei, and asei is doche lo saaseh.

Also because deracheha darchei noam, and bacon tastes good.

And also because the gemara says that there is a muttar way to do all issurim, and the way to eat pig is to eat shibbutta. But since we don’t know what shibbutta is anymore, it has to be muttar to eat pig because it can’t be assur when there is no muttar way to do it.

Also because the passuk says ???? ??? ?? ???, so it only applies to male pigs. And when you buy pig in the store it is a safek if it is a male or female, and rov says it is a female because they are bigger and have more meat.

(really should bump up my YCT teshuvos thread for this.)
