What we eat "does" matter to The Creator Who designed and made all "food" to be "good" / "functional."
Food is called food, in our English language copies of The written Word of The Elohim of Israel, because the qualities of the "food" agrees with the high standards for benefitting our human health which Elohim YHVH chose, because of His beyond-human- understanding Love He has for each of us.
If a certain "thing" we may, as humans, think is "okay" and "acceptable" by Him, is N O T on His original List of approved "foods," then, that certain thing is n o t viewed by The Creator, Who made it, as "food" to be consumed by us human beings.
Simple enough.
We may not understand, fully. Yet, are we willing to obey fully?
Our Father cannot lie.
He only tells The Truth.
He cannot (will not) force us to comply with anything He's taught in His written Word.
He simply wants us to choose to hear and obey, IF we want Him to, then, give us the Blessings we read about in His Word.

Inspiration from YirmeYahu / Jeremiah 29
Many folks who share verses from The written Word of Elohim YHVH, our Father Creator, in my observation, share one verse from Jeremiah chapter 29.
I'd like to share with you, my friends (moms, most of you, yet anyone is Welcome to Read this simple blog), from Jeremiah 29: 11 - 14. Seems to me that * all * portions within Yah's written Word are Significant! Here goes:
v. 11 ~•~
For I ( YHVH, The LORD in KJ English ) know The Thoughts that I think toward you ( Yah's children of Yisrael in captivity, in exile, in Babylon ), says YHVH, thoughts of Shalom ( Peace ), and not of evil ( Strong's Hebrew # 7451 ), to give you an end and an expectation. ( Strong's Hebrew # 8615 & 319 )
v. 12 ~•~
Then shall you Call Upon Me ( Yah ), and you shall Go And Pray to Me, and I will hearken ( pay attention ) to you.
v. 13 ~•~
And you shall Seek Me, and Find Me, * when * you shall Search For Me With All your Heart.
v. 14 ~•~
And I will be Found of ( by ) you, says YHVH: and I will Turn Away your captivity, and I will Gather you from All the nations, and from All the places to which I have driven you, says YHVH; and I will Bring you again into the place from which I caused you to be Carried Away captive.
Can you see Why I prefer to include all these verses * with * verse 11?
YirmeYahu ( Jeremiah ) went through quite a few trials, sufferings and hateful things, including imprisonment, . . . just for Speaking Aloud "words" our Father Creator, YHVH, told him to Speak.
Will you, or your ( grown ) children be Sent Out ( The Biblical "sent-out ones" were called apostles in The Renewed Covenant Scriptures. ) to Speak Aloud, one day, to a ruler, a leader, an administrator, a store manager, a business owner, or a woman in a high position as a teacher, school counselor, psychologist, a physician, a naturopathic doctor, a nurse, a researcher, a college professor, etc.?
If YHVH "sends you out," within your nearby community, to Shine His Light on someone who does not, yet, Know Him for Who He truly is, . . . are you Willing to do it? He is The Enabler! ( in the best positive form of that term )
He "gifted" men to construct a Wilderness Tabernacle as a Meeting Place for all His children, including strangers ( ger, in Hebrew, means stranger, sojourner, who chooses to remain among Yah's people & who obeys His Teachings, The foundational Torah given to us through Moshe / Moses, to write down ),
non-Israelites, including some Egyptians, I'd say,
... to "meet" with Him,
... to "worship" Him in and with,
... and for Him to use to "speak" more Instructions to us, through Aharon and his sons, ... and
for Aharon and Moshe to meet with YHVH at the entrance,
... to Help us, His children grafted in to His family, so we'd benefit from what He Knew ( Knows ) would Bring us Blessings & Help He wanted to Pour on us! Through the many encounters and events Yah arranged for, and wanted to use, in teaching us His Wise Way of Living, He continued to reveal more and more of How He Thinks, and How He wants us to Think! He wanted us "to search for Him with * all * our heart, soul, mind & strength!" Then, if we did that, He knew ( knows ) we would "find" Him! ( in His Son, Yeshua haMashiach! )
Why? The answer, among other answers, can be Found in the verses YirmeYahu ( Jeremiah ) was instructed by Yah to write down.

Be Careful & Discerning as You Read online
I read an entire article which was, apparently, written by someone for whom our Anerican English language is not his first language.
In it were phrases and incomplete statements, using punctuation in an odd way, to me.
The more I read the article, I realized the writer was of the opinion that "G-D" was used to denote the Anglicized version of a name some people use when referring, in general, to their (false, satanically- motivated, or ...in actuality, the false god may be a representative being that stands for hasatan) god.
They are taught by leaders within their violent political ideology (the wording used by former- / ex- Moslems whom I have heard speak, some in person and a number of them recorded on video speaking before a group of people, in public) to equate Jews with dogs. (And, Christians may be regarded by the leaders of that ideology as dogs, also. Not sure.)
But, I am aware that the animal dog ... is seen as something to kill, and therefore, they (some) do what they are taught to do: kill American dogs owned by others, when they can. -- That is a topic for another newsday.
Nevertheless, the writer mentioned "d-o-g" being the way to spell "G-D" backward, ... and stated a few, short thoughts about it, as it relates to people eating pig meat or parts, or hog meat / parts. (I know. A disgusting topic.) -- the writer chose the topic of pigs and how unclean is their meat, and other parts some people eat, and he used some very graphic, effective photos, to make his point. I am glad he wrote the article! Yet, I wish he were a Biblical thinker, a Yeshua-Messiah-following, Torah-observing, Elohim-YHVH-fearing, man!!
If he were, I would "share" his article.
I will share one, instead, penned by someone who fears and knows Elohim YHVH, The King eternal. (Melech ha olam, in Hebrew) : )
Also, I noticed that the author actually used wording in English words, espec'ly in the middle, and at the end of the article, acting as if the false god (he spells it G-D) of the Qur'an is the same Elohim YHVH Who is The Elohim of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. He is not in any way!!!!!
-- Isaiah 45: 3-6 ... + more --
“I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.
4 “For the sake of Jacob My servant,
And Israel My chosen one,
I have also called you by your name;
I have given you a title of honor
Though you have not known Me.
5 “I am Elohim, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no Elohim.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me;
6 That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is no one besides Me.
I am YHVH, and there is no other,
7 The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am YHVH who does all these.
8 “Drip down, O heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
And righteousness spring up with it.
I, YHVH, have created it.
9 “Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker — ....
11 Thus says YHVH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: ...
... the work of My Hands.
12 “It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it.
I stretched out the heavens with My Hands
And I ordained all their host.
14 Thus says YHVH,
“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will come over to you and will be yours (the children of Israel);
They will walk behind you, they will come over in chains
And will bow down to you (the children of Israel);
They will make supplication to you:
'Surely, Elohim (YHVH) is with you, and there is none else,
No other Elohim.’”
15 Truly, You are an Elohim who hides Himself,
O Elohim of Israel, Savior!
17 Israel has been saved by YHVH
With an everlasting salvation; ....
18 For thus says YHVH, Who created the heavens (He is the Elohim Who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited),
“I am YHVH, and there is none else."
19 “... I, YHVH, speak righteousness,
Declaring things that are upright."
20 “Gather yourselves and come;
Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations;
They have no knowledge,
Who carry about their wooden idol
And pray to a god who cannot save. ((the false
g o d the article writer trusts in. Dur'g "the Haj," people walk'g around the black "rock in a box," can see at least 350 idols, one in each of the arches built into the outer walls of the structure.))
21 “Declare and set forth your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
Who has announced this from of old?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, YHVH?
And there is no other Elohim besides Me,
A righteous Elohim and a Savior;
There is none except Me."
22 “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am Elohim, and there is no other."
23 “I have sworn by Myself,
The Word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance."

At that point, I was even more saddened, because a bunch of people who read English (as their first language) might assume the author of the article believes in the Biblical teach'g that The True Creator, Elohim YHVH, inspired and instructed certain men to write down, ... but He is Not the one that author refers to, I realized. (the writer's so-called "g o d" is the g o d that a violent, child-rapist, evil-spouting man from Arabia ... thought he was learn'g from, & represent'g, even though that illiterate man only listened to "an angel of light in a cave," that angel calling itself Gabriel. Impossible for "that" angel to be the Archangel Gabriel! Yet, those who are adherents of the ideology of the article writer have been taught deceptive information. So, they do not realize there is a huge difference!!) ...
... Who cares?!? I do. ! ... b'cuz he quotes (types out) quite a few statements from the Qur'an, and only gives a (one) Bible verse reference, and he does not type out what it actually states. (and, he omits Bible verses which continue to instruct us about other "meats" not fit for human consumption, besides pig / pork / hog.)
He also only uses "kosher" to describe what "Jews" call meats that are safe to eat. Odd way to say oig is unclean, IF the writer were one who believes in YHVH and in Yeshua, as may be assumed by some who did read the article, as I did. ((In other words, readers need to use good discernment when read'g such articles, b'cuz this writer is, apparently, not that knowledgeable aboit The written Word. He seems to only know what his own ideology teachers have taught, plus some scientific information about pigs, hogs.)) He does not use the word "unclean," as does the English Bible. hmm.... (note: The English Bible does not use the word "kosher," unless I have overlooked the Hebrew word from which our word "unclean" comes. I will look that up, a s a p.)
So, although the writer seems to be accurate in his assessment of the impurity, the physiologically-damaging, even poisonous, toxic, nature of / within pig meat, he does not actually seem to comprehend what The Word of Elohim YHVH states, in Truth. For me, and the amount of words in the article about a false g o d I reject and denounce, I cannot justify "sharing" such as article. As I said before, am plan'g to find a comparable, useful article stating the uncleanness and impurity, and dangers, of pig meat, hog meat, and other parts of the pig / hog, such as intestines, feet, snout, etc. ((Too many people in this nation, America, consume this animal!! ... without knowledge of how serious are the true facts about its tapeworms, parasites, trichinosis larvae & worms, and ... its lying in its own urine and feces, besides its tendency to kill n eat animals as well as humans. sickening to think about!))
