It's amazing how God teaches his people how to eat right in the Bible, and also how to approach eating in different contexts, of which I interpreted the scripture below to be up to each person to feel in their heart, their personal level of growth in what they put into their own bodies which is God's Temple! Although I'm far from perfect, God expects me and you and everyone to at least be making significantly better choices and progress than from a few years ago, with the final goal of fully clean eating and living. Personally, I've cut back nearly all of the bad food and drink, with the occasional buffalo chicken tender meal, extra blue cheese 😅😉. But if your heart says you have improved your eating habits, then I believe you're on the right track, because you will be able to help out others who will then be healthier by making better choices by seeing the improvements in your life! Paul in Corinthians also makes a very strong promise to God that he will not eat meat if it makes a fellow man stumble - that is indeed an incredible promise to God, and he was a very blessed man because although Paul was persecuted, he loved every minute of his being, for when he was born again, he could see like no other, knowing God was literally next to him at all time, and carried that all the way to Rome and his last breath! The Bible = the ultimate, living breathing book, #1 selling book of all time for a reason! The evil in the world knows Jesus is eventually coming!

1 Corinthians 8:7-13 (NKJV)
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.
10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?
11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13 Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
