Magic book doesn't appear to rate things by "consciousness". There are prohibitions against swine and human beings, but there are plenty of animals between people and pigs if we're making some "higher consciousness" scale....and they're all on the menu.
It's telling you "look, a pig, don't eat it!" - not laying out some treatise on the rank of animalia by order of consciousness.
All of this is only made more hilarious by the amount of actual study done into the subject origin. Your magic book says it because someone else's magic book says it, the explanation for their magic book saying it comes down to the authors. Tons of reasons, all of them cultural.
