In general I think we should be trying to eat foods that are really biologically dissimilar to humans to avoid being sickened by our foods' diseases. Plants and fungi don't seem to cause pandemics. Mammals do (SARS, covid, swine flu, possibly Spanish flu). Birds can make us sick (salmonella). Fish, mollusks, insects, probably safer, parasites aside.
