It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.'"I always knew there was a reason I didn't like fat on my meat.
Seriously, why is fat forbidden? I understand about the blood, as that's explained elsewhere. The life is in the blood, which is quite true. And the idea of drinking blood or eating bloody food has no appeal to me.
But why is fat similarly outlawed? This doesn't appear to just be for sacrifices or offerings, it's at all times and all circumstances. Is there a religious significance to this, or is it God's giving them hygiene and/or fitness instruction?
