Nobody really follows the Bible to the letter, especially with things like clothing worn, foods ate and all that. At the time, religions in general were a great way to teach people how to wash poop off their hands before eating, how to avoid foods with parasites, and not treat the lowest in society like absolute dogshit.
The real takeaways from the Bible are:
Treat others with respect, humility and love

You can be screwed up your entire life, but still be redeemed in the end by admitting that you screwed up and genuinely making amends where possible.
