More religious ignorance from ancient books.
Pigs wallow in mud - not shit - to keep their skin cool. They do not eat feces unless they are starving and LOTS of animals do that.
Some animals, like dogs, eat shit out of stupidity - not even necessity

Key quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pigs will only eat their own faeces if given ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE to eat. They're very intelligent animals and now the difference between faeces and food. They are often thought of as 'unclean' (and hence some religions ban the eating of pork) because they like to roll in mud which the naive take as being 'dirty'. This is in fact to keep cool in hot weather as they have no sweat glands. When they are absolutely starving they will eat their faeces rather than starve to death.
"Whether you can and whether its good for you are two totally different issues. Coprophagia is very common in the animal kingdom - gorillas and rabbits just as a for instance If rabbits did not eat everything twice, they would not be able to eat enough to survive - digesting everything twice is essential to them. This is not the case in humans and human faeces are largely devoid of nutritionally beneficial material.:
