Diet Restrictions?

Okay, so no alcohol, no drugs. What else are we not supposed to eat/drink? A final question: Do Bahais eat pork?

There seems to be no real restrictions on foods and no-alcohol drinks. There are some things written about cleanliness in relation to foods and drinks. There is one prohibition of eating animals that have been found dead in a trap, I think. Always sounded like common sense to me. It has always been explained to me that eating pork was prohibited in some earlier religions because with the way foods were stored there was a big risk of it causing illness. Nowadays we have better hygene and refrigeration, so it is not risky to eat pork.
