the same bible also says people can't eat fat Lev 3:17, can't eat pork Lev 11:7-8, can't eat shrimp or anything lacking fins or scales Deuteronomy 14:9-10
Those dietary laws were SMART for their time.. For instance PORK was a main source of trichnosis and other intestinal parasites IF NOT PROPERLY PREPARED. Same with shell fish and scavengers. This was pre-double-wide freezers and modern cooking. OTHER dietary restrictions, like Jewish/Muslim laws on humane slaughtering were FAR ahead of their time. Like Hebrew National hot dogs say -- "we take OUR standards from a higher power" !!!
