Peace be on you.
Eat Permitted and Good
[2:169] O ye people! eat of what is lawful and good in the earth; and follow not the footsteps of Satan; surely, he is to you an open enemy.
The verse where pig is mentioned are:
Section A
Four verses with prohibition of Meat of Pig is mentioned
[2:174] He has made unlawful to you only that which dies of itself, and blood and the flesh of
swine, and that on which the name of any other than Allah has been invoked. But he who is driven by necessity, being neither disobedient nor exceeding the limit, it shall be no sin for him. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
[5:4] Forbidden to you is
the flesh of an animal which dies of itself, and blood and the flesh of
swine; and that on which is invoked the name of one other than Allah; and that which has been strangled; and that beaten to death; and that killed by a fall; and that which has been gored to death; and that of which a wild animal has eaten, except that which you have properly slaughtered; and that which has been slaughtered at an altar.
And forbidden is also that you seek to know your lot by the divining arrows. That is
an act of disobedience. This day have those who disbelieve despaired of
harming your religion. So fear them not, but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as religion. But whoso is forced by hunger, without being wilfully inclined to sin, then, surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
[6:146] Say, ‘I find not in what has been revealed to me aught forbidden to an eater
who wishes to eat it, except it be that which dies of itself, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of
swine — for
all that is unclean — or what is profane, on which is invoked the name of other than Allah. But whoso is driven by necessity, being neither disobedient nor exceeding
the limit, then surely thy Lord is Most Forgiving, Merciful.’
[16:116] He has made unlawful for you only that which dies of itself and blood and the flesh of
swine and that on which the name of any other than Allah has been invoked. But he who is driven by necessity, being neither disobedient nor exceeding the limit, then surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

Section B
One verse with mention of Pig [meat is not mentioned here]
[5:61] Say, ‘Shall I inform you of those whose reward with Allah is worse than that?
They are those whom Allah has cursed and on whom His wrath has fallen and of whom He has made
apes and swine and who worship the Evil One. These indeed are in a worse plight, and farther astray from the right path.
In a Saying of Holy Prophet (pbuh), it is said:
Gist = When Jesus will come in second comming, he will will be Judge and Arbiter, he will break the cross,
kill the pig and abolish jizyah, he will distribute such wealth which people will be ready to get. [Ref: Ibne Majah]
==================================================================
Section C
"...Everyone knows that it [Pig] eats filth and is utterly shameless. Thus the reason for the prohibition of its flesh is obvious, as by the law of nature its flesh would have a foul effect on the body and the soul of one who eats it. As we have already demonstrated food affects a person’s soul and there can be no doubt that the flesh of such a foul animal would also be foul. Even in pre-Islamic times, Greek physicians had opined that the flesh of this animal particularly damages the faculty of modesty and fosters shamelessness."

ESSENCE OF ALL THESE PRESENTATIONS
1==God as Maker has prohibited the flesh of Pig for eating.
2==This flesh is placed in list of dead animal, blood etc....i.e. something terrible.
3==Directive is given to eat Permitted and Good. If some food is prohibited in such force, it is surely harmful.
4==Food affects morals. Prohibited and bad food takes person to Satan i.e. badness.
5==Bad people are compared with apes and swines in one verse above, Why? Because of their attitudes and habits. That is why in the second coming of Jesus [Reformation time] killing of pig is mentioned. It does not mean that the Reformer is going to literally kill pigs. Then when he will do the real job?........Obviously bad manner people are mentioned. Reformation in morality is meant.
Final Result: Pork is prohibited for, as directive of Maker and physical and moral goodness of people.

Just one more thing in addition to my other search results given in earlier posts:
Respiratory health and farming: An essay
wwwDOTncbiDOTnlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2677788/
"Of all animal confinements, swine buildings pose the greatest health risks. It is actually remarkable that humans, let alone pigs, can tolerate any prolonged exposure to some of these buildings. The air within contains as many as 109viable bacteria identified by culture per cubic metre. A worker breathes and thus filters 12 times this volume in an 8 h workday. The norm for an office is less than 103. We now know that the number of bacteria recovered by culture represents only 10–3of the total number of bacteria present. This is explained by the fact that many bacteria are dead and that the milieu and culture environment used is inappropriate for most of the airborne bacteria present.
It is not that these bacteria cause infections; the vast majority are not pathogens. What hits the lungs is their toxins: endotoxins, peptidoglycans and other potentially toxic or immunogenic substances. Until recently, it was believed that the ill effects of swine building exposure was caused by Gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins. A recent study by Dr Caroline Duchaine and her colleagues confirmed that over 95% of bacteria in swine buildings are Gram-positive, mostly
Archaebacteria. Gram-positive bacteria do not produce endo-toxins, but do produce peptidoglycans that could also be quite harmful."
All these latter-era highly scientific researches prove the existence of All-Knowing God and and His directives.
