Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?

For nearly all of those examples, the Bible tells me that if I'm in the presence of one of my brothers or sisters who doesn't eat red meat because they feel (for whatever reason) God would be displeased, the last thing I would do is order me a big ole medium rare steak and eat it in front of them. Why? Because I would create a stumbling block for them.

There is a principle in this when Paul was talking about this in his letter to the Church at Corinth.

I want to edify people, not tear them down. I want to encourage them. Not level their faith in God.
