You should have just stuck with, "If we weren't supposed to eat certain animals, they wouldn't taste so good to us." It has all the annoyance of your original message, but it's harder to refute.

Arise Peter, kill, and eat. What the Lord has made holy, let no man call unclean or common.

That is in Acts, I forget where.

Didn't God tell Saint Peter in a vision that he should eat the meat of all kinds of animals?

No, as reading the entire story, which is told in Acts 10, makes clear. A Roman army officer named Cornelius received a vision from God telling him to get in touch with Simon Peter. At the same time, Peter, who was unaware of Cornelius, also received a vision in which he saw animals, both kosher and unkosher, being lowered down together from heaven in a sheet, while a heavenly voice told him to kill them and eat them. Peter refused, saying that he had never eaten anything that was impure. The heavenly voice then told him not to consider impure what God had purified. When Peter came out of his trance, "he was greatly puzzled about what to make of the vision that he had seen." While he was trying to unravel it, messengers from Cornelius arrived with the story of their master's vision. Now Peter understood. "You yourselves know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or to visit a gentile," he later told Cornelius. "But God has told me that I should not call anyone impure." The Greek phrase that the RSV translates "not . . . anyone" is even more specific. It is medena . . . anthropon, "no human being." Peter's vision had nothing to do with animals or eating meat. It was a symbolic message that gentiles (represented by the unkosher animals) as well as Jews (represented by the kosher animals) should be accepted into the Christian community. That is how Peter himself understood it, and that is how the author of Acts understood it as well.

The animals raised on farms are helpless, born to be slaughtered. I, on the otherhand, go into the wild and kill what I eat. The hunt is sacred.
