I do to a certain extent. I try and limit pork and pig meats, and rarely eat dairy/meat together. I also try to go for a small period after eating one type of food before eating another, generally a period of 2 hours if I can.
FYI, in case you’re not aware, while you’re supposed to wait a period of time after eating meat before eating dairy (the number of hours varies according to cultural custom: six, three, or 72 minutes, I believe), the reverse is not the same, except for hard cheeses.
 
Actually, since we’re vegetarians, we’ve rather moved the goalposts (to borrow a soccer term). 😉
Good for you! There is a case for vegetarianism in Torah teaching. I’m almost there, except I eat chicken on occasion, and do eat fish and dairy regularly in addition to the vegan diet of fruits, vegetables, and grains.
 
I am the strange duck in my family. The blood juices and excess fat of beef has always been a kind of revulsion to me ever since I can remember. Scavenger seafood and pork seem to be very unsanitary anyway. Meat with dairy gives me indigestion. So, I just think avoiding these foods are healthier for a person. I would eat them if I was guest, and there were no other options. Yet, I do not think it is a ‘spiritual’ issue except that we should take care of the body the Creator has given to us, and thank Him for His provision.
 
I do. I don’t miss pork chops at all, and as far as bacon, the vegan style ‘bacon’ is the best in my opinion. I never did acquire a taste turkey bacon and until recently I never knew beef bacon existed. I never got into seafood (minus fishsticks) because the smell always made me gag so I didn’t have to worry about shellfish,shrimp. Still can’t stand the smell when I am in grocery stores…blech! 😃
It’s my understanding that in Acts 10, that Peter was told not to call any Gentile unclean (vs. 28). He had never eaten any unclean animal before or after (vs. 14) , and left the dream totally confused on what it all could mean (vs. 17 , 19).
Of course for health reasons it is better for all of us to adopt a plant based diet loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables. 🙂
