I never bought into any kind of religious food ban.
I'm sorry, but my sense is that the God I know would never care about something so irrelevant.
Its like saying the word "shit" is a sin... of course it isn't. Its bad manners, might be socially unacceptable, but wasn't even a word back in the day and God is certainly not so petty.
Of course exercises in faith, such as fasting during Lent, or not eating meat on Fridays, I think are totally appropriate, but I highly doubt the almighty would cast anyone to hell for it one way or the other.
