Judaism's food restrictions were dictated by God and are recorded in The Bible, primarily in Deuteronomy 14.

The reason for the dietary laws is explicitly stated in the Bible, alongside the details. The reason is: In order to be holy.

The reader who rolls his eyes when he sees that, or glosses over it because it's so far removed from anything real in his life, only goes to show how far removed we have become.
