Not mixing fabrics and certain food practices were originally based on lived experience, like safety guidance, before getting coopted by religion. Kosher practices avoid cross contamination, and mixed fabrics could have something to do with temperature regulation in desert areas where it swings between extreme heat and cold daily. Or it could have existed to discourage lying about prodict quality by those who would sneak in poor quality materials.
When religion got ahold of these concepts they were absolutely twisted into controlling people.
You are mistaking the Catholic practice of Lent (not eating meat on Friday) with the Jewish Kosher practice of not mixing dairy with meat (possible cross contamination?).

Sorry, not eating meat on Friday is a “lived experience food safety practice?”

Wut? How am I possibly mistaking anything?
