Why did God forbid his people to not eat certain animals?

I'm in Orlando at a special Millionaires Summit learning a new system and just found out that no one should be putting fish into their bodies because of the major oil spill along the Gulf coast. The high toxicity is beyond imagination as they are using even a high toxic chemical to collect and stop the oil but deeper than this when you think of what God said at the beginning to man it makes me think-such as Man's first diet did not include any animal products or dairy products, but only plant foods like fruits, seeds, nuts, and grains from the garden. After man sinned, he was driven out of the Garden of Eden and the herb of the field (vegetables containing chlorophyll minerals, antioxidants, & phytochemicals) were added to his diet (see Gen.3:18).
In Genesis 9:2, 3, since "every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground" because of the great flood (see Gen 7:23), God made a provision and gave man permission to eat "every moving thing that liveth ... even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat." (Gen. 9:3). God, as noted by the language, added flesh to man's diet after the flood, just as He added vegetables after the fall. However, the provision gave man only permission to eat "clean" animals, and never their fat or blood. Leviticus 11 lists the specific "clean" animals God allowed for food and the "unclean" animals he forbade man to eat, most of which are scavengers.
In Leviticus 11:2 God told Moses to "speak unto the children of Israel, saying, these are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. ... And the swine, ... he is unclean unto you." Here the Lord prohibited man to eat swine's flesh--things like pork chops, ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, and Jimmie Dean Pure Pork Sausage, fish that did not have fins and scales like craps, lobsters, shrimp, and oysters, and a number of other creatures such as birds of prey, etc. Why did God forbid His people to eat these "unclean" animals?
I believe the main reason was for sanitary or hygienic reasons.I talk more about that later.....

Thank you for the information and the reminder regarding what not to put in our body. I am learning much during this season of my life what to eat and what not to eat. It is helping me trendously. God bless you. One day, I would like to take the many courses you offer. A goal to accomplish. Thank you, Prophetess Bobbie Jean Clow

Amen Bishop, on the topic of the Levitical diet, I often tell people that though you may be able to do all things, everything is not profitable. People are quick to say, "I'm under grace, not law," yet missing the fact that the law, and even all the provisions were given FOR A REASON, and that reason was our benefit. All the food standards were for our bodies to operate at an optimal level, and so though we may be able to eat whatever we want, it would be wise to take the original advice of the one who created us, for He knows best. Amen.

Having resumed fish eating (wild caught only) only 2 years ago after a 10 year hiatus from any flesh consumption at all, I was quite surprised to hear I must give it up. However, I am truly grateful that you shared this priceless information with us. I mean imagine, I eat fish (among other reasons) to get some healthy omega oils, NOT TOXIC PETROLEUM/GASOLINE OIL AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE!! So thank you for sharing, and I'll be sure to take fish - though tasty as it is - off our family menu. Like you said, the closer to Eden eating one does, the better.
