I’m not making a religious point because I’m an atheist but because most of the western world and Islamic people has based their society and many of the tenets laid down in the early Hebrew religious writings often called the ‘old testament’, they have taken the Mosaic commandments about eating things only prescribed as clean which was mainly domesticated animals

exceptions are pork an shellfish but it should be understood that these laws were to protect a nomadic people in often desert conditions

The Jews and Arab nations (try finding a prawn curry in Pakistan) still obviously avoid pork and Jews take the complete eradication of blood from meat to the extreme but it has meant that any society from a Judeo-Christian background avoids what I think are disgusting eating habits of some of the Chinese and has kept us safe from many of these animal viruses

Even if you don’t think that the Mosaic laws in Leviticus didn’t come from a God, they were pretty incredible at protecting health
