Kosher only from the waist up?

Reading Genesis 32: 24-32 might help a bit more–but at some level, it is kind of an oblique association.

It’s a rule with no good explanation, which we follow because it’s in the rule book.

The explanation IS there, it just doesn’t make sense.

I know that pigs and seafood are out

Not seafood, shellfish. Fish with fins and scales are perfectly acceptable under kosher rules.
