Atvantages to kosher food that you did not know

Why keep kosher?

In the book of Deuteronomy/Devarim in the Bible, G-d instructs the Jewish people to keep kosher to keep them selveselves holy. As Jews we are supposed ro follow exactly as G-d decrees. I have been keeping kosher for over 20 years.

I am always looking for "rational" explanations from outside sources that show G-d knew what he was talking about. I find this in the most unusual places.

I was re-reading Kevin Trudeau's book last weeek on "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About". Mr. Trudeau said that he does not eat pork as pigs will eat everything in their path, even their own poop. They have eaten shoes, paper, anthing.Hey you are what you eat, so I don't eat pork.
He also discusses fish with fins and scales as opposed to fish with only fins. He mentioned that when he lived in Boston and there was a "red tide" outbreak in the ocean, fish with both fins and scales (flounder, sole, salmon etc) could be eaten as they are able to filter out the toxins from their systems while other aquatic creatures with out fins & scales are unable to filter out the toxins (catfish, shark, lobster, shrimp). Again, you are what you eat.

Speaking of shrimp, they live the same way cockroaches do, except they are in the ocean. Think of that the next time you order some in a restaurant. Kosher meat is looking pretty good , isn't it?
