because clean and unclean animals were not a mosaic covenant addition.

It's funny that you would think of my question in terms of the mosaic covenent.

despite pig fans, there are reasons we are to avoid fornication- both moral and physical Moral= God said it, that settles it. Physical= AIDS, need i say more? the same way with food laws and worship rules and festivals. God created certain animals for certain reasons. some to be eaten.

A couple of things....
1. I think I would disagree with your reasoning for avoiding fornication for fear of AIDS. I contend that the only reason to avoid the act of fornicating is, soley, because God said so. If God had not said so, I could simply have my future partner take an AIDS test, then upon a passing score, proceed to fornicate.
2. Your analogy breaks down upon analysis. Even if I grant your moral/physical dicotomy, it still doesn't explain "how" Noah could hold to it. How could Noah determine, in the "Physical" sense, which animals were unclean/clean? If God had not "Said So", he could have only guessed.
3. All animals are created to be eaten, its called the Food Chain.
