But more remarkably, we today are witnessing a return to kashruth observance among second and third generation American Jews whose parents or grandparents abandoned Jewish dietary observance along with other ritual observances, as they secularized and integrated into the American mainstream.
While no official reason for the observance of kashruth exists, many commentators and philosophers have sought to offer a rationale for the observances of the kashruth laws, often to draw those who had abandoned the practices back to observance.

Comprehensive Guide to Kashruth Kashruth: An Overview The Hebrew word kosher means fit or proper as it relates to dietary (kosher) laws.
The sources for the laws of kashruth are of Biblical origin and expounded in Rabbinic legislation, through which the Rabbis interpreted, or added preventative measures to the Biblical regulations.
Though an ancillary hygienic benefit has been attributed to the observance of kashruth, their ultimate purpose and rationale is simply to conform to the Divine Will as expressed in the Torah.

Although a pig does have this external sign of kashruth, since it does not chew its cud, the internal sign of kashruth, it is not a kosher animal.
The Torah mentions three other animals which have only a single sign of kashruth: the camel, the hyrax, and the hare.2 Seemingly, the reason that they are not kosher is because they lack one of the required indications.
Those that lack both signs are unmistakably not kosher, while these four which have a single indication of kashruth are to some extent taking on the guise of kosher animals.

 Njop- KASHRUTH: AN INTERPRETATION FOR THE 20TH CENTURY
Certainly much of the increase in kosher food production is attributable to the reproductive rate of the very observant Jewish population who have many mouths to feed in their extraordinarily large families.
While no official reason for the observance of Kashruth was promulgated, many commentators and philosophers have sought to provide a rationale for the observances of the Kashruth laws, often to draw the loyalty of those who had abandoned them back to observance.
Kashruth in the 20th century is far more than a religious ritual, it is a bond which unites Jew to Jew, it is a tether which secures an individual to a nation, it is the energy which connects a people, and a nation, to its very roots.
