Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don't eat foods that will make you sick.
Yep. There's also a lot of rules about farming. If you accidentally drop some of the harvest while you're farming, you have to leave it there so that the poor can take it (there's also a command to care for the poor directly). Also, you have to skip farming altogether once every seven years to let the land rest, which seems like a basic form of crop rotation.
