I find it ironic that:

a. Jews arent supposed to eat animals which chew cud and have split hooves. cows have both attributes. This is a mostly beef hot dog.

b. Jews are allowed to raise hogs and sell ham in secular neighborhoods in Israel, but they wont eat regular hot dogs, they have to have their own special hot dogs that are taxed and blessed by a rabbi.

c. Jews found a way to circumvent their own kashrut law to eat cow.

d. They found a way to circumvent their own law again to sell swine in the jewish state.

Oh, and the hot dog tastes like crap.

Johnsons, you got it backwards. In order for an animal to be permissible for eating it has to have split hoof and chew cud.

Of the "beasts of the earth" (which basically refers to land mammals with the exception of swarming rodents), you may eat any animal that has cloven hooves and chews its cud. Lev. 11:3; Deut. 14:6. Any land mammal that does not have both of these qualities is forbidden. The Torah specifies that the camel, the rock badger, the hare and the pig are not kosher because each lacks one of these two qualifications. Sheep, cattle, goats and deer are kosher.
