Not a big deal, a dog is an animal, animals are meant to be eaten.
I won't argue, but holidays ("Holy Days") too are given, and then we are instructed not to contend over them, also; meaning to me that one misses the point when one's contention with a people becomes about what they eat, or their holidays.
But it seems a stretch to me to then toss Passover for easter (ishtar), and ignore "Smoke in God's nostrils." I would include you, but ask "Which side would you prefer to defend" here?
To read that pork magically became ok at Peter's episode on the Gentile's roof
is to completely misunderstand the parable, imo. I think the 3 distinct episodes of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, first to the apostles, then to the Jews and Gentiles, is similarly misread.
Imo, and others, these were events sanctifying the Gentile believers, a genuine problem in a time when for a Jew to enter a Gentile's house = stoning when they exited.
My Dad said they ate lots of things we would not consider eating during WW2.
