"What's important about this book is that Egan doesn't force a right-or-wrong debate about eating meat or following kosher rules.  Instead, she simply represents both biblical and scientific thoughts about why God gave those specific dietary rules in Leviticus and asks us to consider how they apply to our lives today."
