Why in the bible it says not to eat pig or shellfish?

Lev:11:8: Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. Lev:11:7: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Unclean in the bible usually refers to what is unhealthy or outright harmful. Compare the following verses in which the word unclean appears: Lev:13:8: And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy. Lev:13:27: And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. Unclean here refers to leprosy, a deadly disease. God categorizes the eating of unclean foods with a deadly disease, or in other words something to be avoided to save one's life.
