Hey Dave...
But if the Bible is the word of God, as some would have us believe, it has nothing to do with health, or ancient ways and everything to do with following the word of God.
You see, I believe it was written by men and then raised in status. I also agree, that the rule in the early books of the Old Testament were written to help a nomadic people survive and thrive. In fact, I can see where Paul was coming from when he had his "vision"...
"Hey! These people I've been persecuting actually have a good religion. I like the ideas but this whole list of antiquated rules in Leviticus and the like are so out of date. I know! I could just scrap them. Scrap them and keep the good stuff about loving your neighbour and turning the other cheek. "
And lo he "modernized" Christianity and allowed it to take seed around the World.
That said, there are still some literal thinkers out there that can't see the metaphor for loaves and the fishes...
