    We may have cleaner conditions and better ways to clean animals, but never does the text say that one day you can eat them. I have made the commitment to not eat from the unclean animals. In doing so, I have learned to give up part of Self and surrender. I am on the journey to become completely vegan. As to the Timothy comment, gluttony and indulgence is sinful. God planted things in the ground that are poisonous too, but you don't consume poison ivy do you? I actually think that TODAY as we have such access to great food supplies (here in the US especially) we can make the conscious decision not to eat these unclean animals, or to not eat animals at all. There is a reason why a lot of the other great religions ban consumption of swine. They are disgusting, bottom feeders who will eat anything from trash to humans. There is no reason to consume them. I find it amusing that Christians get all up in arms over meat. Think about it: God created everything in his image. We may not kill the animals ourselves as much as in the past, but we are still consuming a creature that was created in God's image. There is also scientific documentation about how much healthier vegans are than meat eaters. Vegans dont get heart attacks.
