Hmmmm, ((( Smiles )))
bout me and the church I attend...
The Elders at your church will be able to give you any extra help you may need with this.
Thats why they are there for you.
I think the question has been answered already here.
And probably many times in the past too and if not.
I'm sure you would be able to find the information out by doing some research of your own on it.
I will not be able to give you all the attention you need at this time.
But your Church Elders can.
I personally would not eat pork or shrimp as they are scavengers.
Bacon either though nitrate wasen't a factor to warn about back then either.

It's your health your body your choice.

And what you do with it.
If you eat enough bad for your health food.
The consequences of doing so may bring about ill health.
3 John 2:
Beloved, in regard to all things, I pray (for) you to do well and to be in health as your soul does well..
Health is a good thing to have.
However, once He fulfilled the Law, weren't the dietary restrictions then removed?
When Jesus comes for His 1000-year reign, will he eat shellfish?
Well I guess we will have to ask Jesus that question when the Heavens & the Earth is renewed.
What we will all eat then.
Very important question indeed..
Do ask the Elder's of your Church.
See what the answer is and do come back and tell us.
Hope you find what your looking for in your search.
Answers that you find satisfying for you.
I'm sure you will find them if you search hard enough and long enough.
Until then...
Thats it.
Stay well..
I try too.
