Hey Sue Ann,
Here are some things that Paul said about food that I try to keep in mind:
Rom 14:9 For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he might become the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Rom 14:10 Why, then, do you criticize your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For all of us will stand before the judgment seat of God.
Rom 14:11 For it is written, "As certainly as I live, declares the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."
Rom 14:12 Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Rom 14:13 Therefore, let us no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
Rom 14:14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But it is unclean to a person who thinks it is unclean.
Rom 14:15 For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom Christ died by what you eat.
Rom 14:16 Do not allow your good to be spoken of as evil.
Rom 14:17 For God's kingdom does not consist of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy produced by the Holy Spirit.
Rom 14:18 For the person who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.
Rom 14:19 Therefore, let us keep on pursuing those things that bring peace and that lead to building one another up.
Also, beware of eating only herbs and vegetables----
Rom 14:2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
It took me a while to discern the messages from all passages above, but I was totally uplifted when I got it.
Bring on that meat lovers pizza.
be blessed
