Most of the time someone will tell you the pork/fish thing was in the "old" Testament and things have changed with the "new' testament.

Interesting. Do you know the reason why the new testament okays the eating of pork? I noticed you only quoted the old testament and was curious if you were aware of the references in the new testament which describes the new covenant.
At any rate, pork is unhealthy for you --- and if people would stop looking at the Bible as a lists of "I can'ts" and instead as a book of instruction they would realize that the laws and rules that were put into place were for people's own protection.
