Not eating a useful food source is always stupid. If the laws were really about safely exploiting food they'd contain stricts laws about the preperation of food, not outright restrictions. A more likely explanation is that food taboos exist to isolate groups from their neighbours - it's very hard to defect if you can't eat with those you are defecting too.
