I’m not saying all restrictions are for public health benefit... but a lot of them are. Specifically, the kosher dietary rules (no pork, no shellfish which could have red tide, no rabbits, complicated guidelines on how to sever an animal’s neck without hitting the spinal cord, no animals that died of natural causes, separate utensils for meat and dairy) make a lot of sense in the environment of 2000 years ago.
