Biblical food laws are still a good guide today.

MOSES INSTRUCTED THE ISRAELITES IN MANY FOOD AND SANITATION RULES

MANY THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WOULD DO WELL TO TAKE NOTICE

While Moses handed down to the sons of Israel a list of rules to regulate human actions between each other, these are actually the basis for our current system of laws. The same definitions as the Christian western countries have been practicing for years. There was also a quite detailed law concerning food and sanitation. Many of these laws have been adopted by first world counties for many decades.

I am not going to go into the details of these laws, but they would be a good standard for today that would eliminate a lot of the problems we see today. Sanitation laws are not being followed in many third world countries and seem to be declining even in this country. 

Food laws forbade the eating of many types of living things, reptiles, rodents, bats and  all carrion eaters, like vultures, crows etc. It also instructed in the preference for certain animals with a certain digestive system, like sheep, goats etc. It also forbade contact with many of these animals. If contact should occur, washing and quarantine was required. 

It gave good instruction in proper cooking

There are many directions to wash or purify oneself after certain contact with others or certain situations. Quarantine was usually for 7 days. Much of the things we are being told to do today by respected scientists.

Moses never gave the why, just facts that are relevant eternally.

Most will reject these instructions, because of there origins. With an objective view we would see that even after 3500 years, these rules still can apply in a positive way for the people today.
