This was one of the things Paul encountered bringing Gentiles into the fold was the Jewish customs. There is no evidence exactly what is meant other than whatever a person eats is according to their conscience. Therefore, I am not to judge you but I am to present the case of what God has revealed. If you think God truly wants you to eat scavenger meat then have at it. That is between you and God. This does not silence me on what my conscience guides me though.

Paul made it clear that it was the weak who couldn't eat "anything". (IOW, "anything" was fit to eat.)

You made this claim: You'll quote some cryptic verse about meat sacrificed to idols or something about "all meats" while the audience at that time knew very well about clean and unclean and knew it did not include unclean.

You can't support this statement.

To be clear, if it's your own conscience that prevents you from eating bacon, then there's nothing to argue; I'm certainly not going to tell you to act against your conscience. But you can't present a scriptural reference to support your point that certain meats were still considered "unclean" (even as I demonstrate to you that Paul himself considered them all to be "clean").
