The text for today comes from Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy and covers the "clean" and "unclean" items with regard to diet.  The commentary in my Bible clarified why an item may be excluded as "unclean":

• it has had unsanitary contact with that which is putrefied
• it is associated with objectionable living habits
• it is unhealthful for human consumption
• it is a creature typically used in pagan worship
