I only got as far as the part about eating swine. Why did christians start eating pig meat anyway?

For the same reason they disregarded biblical holy days...the Jews revolted against Rome a number of times and anti-Jewish sentiment made Roman Christians afraid to practice anything that "looked" Jewish.

Sorry; but my take on it is they were already pork eaters BEFORE they became Christian.

The herd of pigs that got the demons were NOT Jewish owned pigs.
