There’s a part of me that speculates that the kashrut laws are meant to rule out eating the most intelligent animals (pigs, cetaceans, cephalopods).


I had a college professor who steadfastly believed that pork was a no go because pigs get sunburned. Not because they're resource and time intensive. Not because they're intelligent and weirdly similar to humans.

Sunburns.

I have no idea


Interesting! I'd never thought of that.

Still, though... bivalves?


I think shellfish was more unambiguously a food safety thing


Fair.
