And obviously bugs are too gross to eat. Duh.
The problem with encoding such a directive into religion is that those inclined to eat anything will do so regardless of your command, however discretely or, if caught, seeking absolution or rationale. Those inclined to pickiness do not need it.
But Calvin would tell Susie that he had maggot sandwiches for lunch, so clearly he's not afraid of eating anything other than salmon.

Deuteronomy 13:6-10
6-10 Someone else may say to you, “Let’s worship other gods.” That person may be your best friend, your brother or sister, your son or daughter, or your own dear wife or husband. But you must not listen to people who say such things. Instead, you must stone them to death. You must be the first to throw the stones, then others from the community will finish the job. Don’t show any pity.

If you're really hip (or unhip), you'll remember when the evil Reed Richards from Counter-Earth tossed the real Reed Richards into the Negative Zone wearing nothing but shorts. The real Reed Richards managed to grab a floating rock to rest on, and eventually caught a Negative Zone bat that he ate.

It doesn't count if you don't swallow.
That wasn't Jesus. It was Peter, when people got all up in his grill about eating unclean food with unclean people.
I've always felt that "nothing that enters a man's body from the outside makes him impure" is an underrated New Testament verse that applies as much to homosexuality as it does to bacon.
Still, bats and seagulls? No thanks.
