Anyone who has had food poisoning will know just how it makes you feel. It can disable you very quickly, & an attack while flying would not be nice.
Food poisoning is the single biggest cause of sudden incapacitation in pilots.

(That's why there are so many civil aviation regulations about food preparation for pilots, and why CVD gets so much attention.)
