The Bible never named the pig as being unclean. It gave guidelines and from those one can decide if an animal is clean/wholesome to eat. For instance, an animal with split hooves and chews the cud is good /wholesome to eat. The cow/sheep has split hooves and chews the cud therefore it is good to eat. The pig has split hooves but does not chew the cud therefore it is unclean. Fish with scales is considered clean while those without are considered unclean. But in the end it claims all is good to eat if you think it is good. In modern times scientists are now finding out that the unclean foods are really not good for our health. Casting evil spirits into the nearby swine has nothing to do with whether the pig is clean/unclean to eat. That's my 2 cents/naira!
if you like eat pig everyday it is your own problem.
