Question of the day: Why are some animals unclean for the Israelites to eat?
This could be due to the fact that in ancient times people had not realized how to preserve and prepare some foods. For instance, pork not prepared or stored properly can cause illness, as can some seafood. Pigs are also common vectors in transmission of the flu to humans from birds since they are immunologically similar to humans. By labelling the animal as unclean and forbidden, consumption and handling of those potentially dangerous foods would not occur.
