I know that eating pork is forbidden by God. Here’s a copy-pasta-reason why:
QUESTION :
What is the teaching of Islam about pork ?
ANSWER : Pig is absolutely unclean and eating its meat, and fat etc.., as well as using its skin or any other parts is strictly forbidden. God has said in various places in the Holy Qur’ãn:-
“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine…” (5:3)
QUESTION : I, being a Christian, have no difficulty in eating pork. I often wonder why Muslim brethren have not been allowed to enjoy this food, as we Christians do ?
ANSWER : This question is somewhat astonishing because, according to the scriptures, even the Christians are not allowed to eat pork.
QUESTION : How can you say this ?
ANSWER : Well, let us see what the Bible says about pork:
“And the swine… he is unclean to you. Of the flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.” (Leviticus, 11:7-8).
The same command is repeated in Deuteronomy, 14:8.

Pst: For what it’s worth, to save one’s own life, in case no other food is available, then you may eat thereof. See https://myislam.org/surah-nahl/ayat-115/ for that matter.
