Food and mosaic law (Not a discussion of Macht Study)

This is a post I wish to start absent the participation of kendemeyer since he wishes to discuss the issue on another level requiring access to documentation from a study at Johns Hopkins. He would not deign to defend his assertions with me and that is,as I told him, fine by me. The Mosaic Law food laws show evidence of divine knowledge? Law advanced other ways?The idea is raised that the food eaten by Moses' people followed strict guidelines and that they were divine in origin in order to assure safety of the health of God's chosen people.There is one in particalar that I will use to start an investigation to determine if it is indeed worth its assumed divinity. I did a search of the web and found that there are {in the Red Sea at least} creatures of fin and scale that are poisonous.Puffer fish and lion fish both occupy these waters and,I have the hunch,also occupy other waters of the Middle East.These fish are not edible by any means and are extremely dangerous so one is left to wonder if Moses neglected to mention these for some reason or if,perhaps, his "laws" were more a rule of thumb.
As I tried to point out to Ken it is not hard to expect an observant person to eventually figure out where boundries on food sources can be drawn without expecting the source of wisdom to be divine in origin.The Japanese have a puffer fish delicacy known as fugu that unless properly prepared will kill those that consume it.They even have a saying concerning it."Those who eat Fugu are crazy,Those who do not eat Fugu are also crazy."I also wonder if there is some study that gives the impression that those who follow the mosaic laws concerning food are somehow healthier than the general population and by what criteria is this assertion supported?

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. "

AsgaraI will agree to the addition to title however I am ignorant of how to set this link up.I would appreciate any help you may give.

So I guess we can say that we have pretty much eliminated the mosaic laws concerning food from the requirement of divine intervention as a means of gaining knowledge correct?am I right?
