10 reasons why being different is okay: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/10-reasons-being-different
There’s a few big differences that I think make the case for how we should view food today:
• Factory farming exists now and it didn’t exist then - this is a big difference in how people consume food
• Resources were scarcer then than they are now - globally we waste about ⅓ of all food produced for human consumption - that’s a massive percentage and a very serious problem - it’s a little higher in the US too (source and source)
• It’s very clear throughout Scripture that God and Jesus regard created life with honor and dignity - Jesus Himself was poor and identified with the poor, who in His time rarely had more than basic food staples to eat - and Jesus is often referred to as the Good Shepherd, a title that shows us He’s for the honest and supportive care of vulnerable animals like sheep
