Pork vs Beef

I am a Hindu born into an Brahmin family of Orissa. In Odisha the Brahmins eat meat and fish. And I have heard from my grandmother that even in Bengal and Assam, Brahmins eat meat and fish. Only in South India, Brahmins are pure veg. Also, anywhere in the country and world Hindus will not eat beef as they are prevented by religion which prohibits it.
But I must tell something and it is that I love eating beef. In fact Beef biryani, Beef Chops, beef veal kabab (which is fry kabab), Sheek kabab, Kheema, Chilly Beef all are my favourite. In fact I cannot live without at least a weekly dose of beef.
I can live without mutton and chicken and egg but beef is something I really like. I do not have to eat it daily but at least weekly. According to me all non veg is similar. We do not need to discriminate between beef and chicken. If your food involves killing an animal and eating its meat, it does not matter if that animal is a cow or buffalo or goat or chicken.
If one kills one chicken one may be able to feed 4 or five people at the max but if one kills a goat one may be able to feed 10-20 people and if one kills a cow or buffalo one may be able to feed 50-100 people, I feel. Thus killing a chicken is more of a 'crime', if we look at the law of Karma. As we have to kill more number of chickens to get the same quantity of food for the same number of people. We would be 'extinguishing more number of lives' for our food.
If one considers that 'murder' or 'Hatya' (in Hindi) is a crime and one should not eat something which involves that than one should not eat the food which comes from 'jeev-hatya' or killing of an animal. Killing any animal is the same, whether it is cow or chicken.
But I feel that one should not eat Pork. Basically Pig is an animal who eats its own poop and that my friends is the problem with pork. I have had pork about 6-7 times over the last several years. It available aplenty in Bangalore and also near my house there is a pork hotel.
It is there in that hotel that I have had pork. It is available as Pork fry and Pork chilly and I must tell that though it is tasty but once I had two plates means double the quantity I normally had and my poop was totally black the next day. Trust me people I never have seen such black poop coming from me ever. That implies that there is something in pork which is very dangerous and makes your next day poop go totally black.
Eating animals which have plants is better. Which animals have plants as their diets. Animals like camels, cattle, goats and sheep. Animals which eat meat and their own and other poop like dogs and pigs are totally no-no and should be avoided at all costs. No matter what.
