In M5G Quest, I wrote about the core reason for the ban on eating pork by some religions. This is for genetic reasons and not for core reasons written in this segment. There are far more dietary restrictions that certain religions cling to, primarily related to the bible's 'old testament' and the mormon 'word of wisdom'.
The bible is loaded with things forbidden to eat for people who follow this alien 'deity'. Shellfish, pork and other "unclean" food sources are listed. Note also that this alien god demanded blood sacrifices throughout that era. Blood soaked altars were expected to appease that deity. If you go to the beginning of the bible fable involving Cain and Able, Cain's offering of produce was rejected while Abel’s animal blood offering was accepted. Reptilians need the blood. Reptilians do not eat produce.
Where you see the bible held as THE icon of a religion, know that the reptilians and their allies are directly involved. This includes the various muslim groups who claim the same deity as the Israelis. After all, according to the fable, they both have the same father. While this gets into reptilian infighting manifesting as we see it being played out on Earth today, the dietary restrictions of both the tribes of Israel and the muslims are the same.
Another big bible religion is the mormons. They have their 'word of wisdom' which also is loaded with dietary restrictions, although pork is not one of them. The mormon ban includes items like caffeine, certain grains (some 'created' JUST for livestock), tea and so on. Another faction of the same Orion royalty is operating here. Refer back to both volumes of M5G for information about reptilian factions. In order for a mormon to be granted permission to enter their sacred temples, adherence to the 'word of wisdom' is required. Do you have to be ready in case 'god' is visiting the temple and feels like a snack, hmmm? Of course if you were to bring this up to a temple recommend-holding mormon (or any mormon for that matter), they would be shocked.
The purpose of this segment is not to touch further on alien internal conflicts but to draw attention to the core reason for these various dietary restrictions. There are also other religions with other bans to eating as well. The core reason for these bans may be summarized with the following example. Some people like their food bland. Some people like their food spicy. Some people like their food sweet. Some people like their food bitter...and so on.
While watching the dvd's of the television series V (as well as the two mini-series that they are based on), they accurately depict some of the reptilian tastes in living food. One episode shows an old woman who worked for the reptilians so that she would be reunited with her husband who was being held in food storage by the reptilians. After completing her assignment against the Earther resistance, the woman told the reptilian commander that she wanted to be reunited with her husband so they could spend christmas dinner together. The commander told her that she would be reunited with her husband but also said that the couple would be dinner FOR the reptilians.
Posing as deities, these aliens gave dietary rules to their 'chosen people' who want to serve their god. Just as Earthers decide what feed is given to which animals, reptilians, as well as Sirian wolfish, decide what feed is appropriate for their livestock: Earthers, in this case. Does it make you wonder what the 'chosen' peoples are 'chosen' for? It should. 'Serving god' has a whole other concept when it is also thought of as being 'served TO god'. Kosher food, for example, means that food meets the strict requirements of those who supervise the herd's eating supplies. Just as with the mormons, these followers would deny the concept of it. The followers are always referred to as 'sheep'. What happens to sheep? They are sheared for their wool (money in human context) and eaten for sustenance. As the wraith aliens in Stargate: Atlantis say over and over: "All living things must eat".
Another thing to remember, although some are fussy with their food, others will pretty much eat whatever is available and dietary restrictions are generally not imposed unless something may be toxic to their system. You would discover that a reptilian royal is far choosier with their food than the average Orion citizen. You save your best for your royals and the rest can be for the general population.
Return to the basics of the Game: There IS neither good nor evil. There are only different experiences. If one seeks the experiences of bringing themselves closer to the deity(s) that include dietary requirements, then you are opening yourself up to a potential 'experience'. It does not mean that you will have such an experience in this incarnation, but you have prepared yourself just in case. As far as these aliens are concerned, you are just a meal on the hoof. This segment gives you a lot more to consider when observing EndGame
