I got one question for vegetarians: if every person on the planet were a vegetarian, would there be enough vegetarian food to feed everyone? I believe the honest, factual answer to that question is no. And BTW, all of you out there that think eating meat is a sin, the Bible says that Peter, an observant Kosher Jew, was told at a certain point that ANYTHING can now be eaten. (See reference below). So if you weenies out there lose sleep because someone ate a hamburger this evening, the Almighty doesn't share your dietary requirements, thank goodness.....
ACTS Chap 11: 4 Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' 8 "I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9 "The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
Ironically there is a diet out there called the "Hallelujah Diet", promoted by a "Reverand". The poor sap even uses Bible verses to support it. Of course he ONLY uses verses in Genesis. For some reason the rest of the Bible can't be used. Is that the heighth of ignorance or what? What's also amazing is how ignorant others are of the Bible and go along with it. Nothing like the blind leading the blind.
I would disagree with you that Peter in Acts was about "eating anything you wanted". I believe God was trying to show Peter that the Gospel was Universal (for the gentiles too) not a "Jew only" phenomenon. If you read acts you'll see that Peter had problems in this area especially in areas regarding strict observence of the traditional Jewish law.
I'd also like to point out that we were created to only eat fruit (this would include grain and legumes). After the flood animals were given to us to eat, as well as a shortened life-span. God much have flicked some sort of "switch" in human metabolism, and I now think that some meat in the diet is not only good but necessary. Although, living off of red-meat every day and every day probably is not the best idea.
