We all know that Jesus freed His followers from the Old Testament food laws in Leviticus .

The Disciples and Paul were all Jews. I am sure they knew not to eat pork because they knew God did not want them to do so. Swine are scavengers.
1 Cor. 6:19,20 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

It would be a supreme sacrilege to bring swine into the temple. And God regards your body as a temple, His Temple if you are one of his people. I know this is foreign to you but you have to look at it in their terms. And even Gods terms.

“ It would be a supreme sacrilege to bring swine into the temple. And God regards your body as a temple, His Temple if you are one of his people.”

Incorrect analogy .
As Jesus said food going into your body doesn’t make you unclean .
Pork is a healthy nutritious food source,
Any food can become contaminated if treated poorly.
Lots of e-coli outbreaks from leafy greens
