It happened to be part of a ritual used in the worship of Dionysus. Historically it appears that in order to separate the Jews as a people who only worshipped Jahweh, they were forbidden to offer sacrifices and perform the rituals used for other gods.

In proposing this, Graves really only takes Frazer's 'The Golden Bough' a step further, as much of the analysis of taboos is present in that author's study. Supposedly, taboos developed to prevent an act or object of ritual significance from becoming mundane and losing its psychological power. Like the taboo on peeping behind the curtain in the palace of the Wizard of Oz. Just throwing that in so that readers can see that some people believe the list of prohibited foods might actually have been a list of sacred foods at one time.

It was worth learning Italian just for the swearing alone. No one can blaspheme like the Italians, it is an art form. Bodach,

It would certainly have opened it up to the masses. Was it all planned by the Judaean pork producers collective?

The text says "But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest. ” - clearly implying that the author believed that the aforementioned beasties have four, not six, legs. @ravenblack, you’re should just count yourself lucky there’s a proscription on eating your species also.
