Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don’t eat foods that will make you sick.
Yep. There’s also a lot of rules about farming. If you accidentally drop some of the harvest while you’re farming, you have to leave it there so that the poor can take it (there’s also a command to care for the poor directly). Also, you have to skip farming altogether once every seven years to let the land rest, which seems like a basic form of crop rotation.
It goes even deeper if you get into Judaism and why they have two entirely separate kitchens. Ancient people dying of trichinosis in the desert heat but not understanding how disease functions do weird things to try to figure out how to safely survive, like banning certain foods entirely such as shellfish.
Diarrhea is still one of the top killers of children worldwide, which is one of the main side effects of food-borne illnesses like trichinosis.
And if you put bacon on top of it, cook it yourself on a Friday night while wearing cotton underwear and polyester shorts, you can easily commit four sins before dinner
The old testament has civil laws too not just moral laws. The civil laws are for the good government of the historical national of Israel, not transcendent moral laws

Why didn’t they just post their guides on youtube then? Why do they had to package it with a bunch of make believe nonsense?

Yeah like cheeseburgers.
Cheese? Perfectly fine
Burgers? Perfectly fine
Cheese plus burger? Straight to hell.
Thou shalt not boil a calf in its mother’s milk.

sounds delicious but also surprisingly, not obviously corresponding with a known dish
what would this be called tbh
like cheesy fried veal or something?
oh maybe cheesesteaks? 🤔
Chicken jalapeño poppers?
…for extra kick with your sin.
Milk-steak
