Paul destroyed, whoever you are quoting, metaphor (Does this person actually think Peter is a cannible in over to fit that warped interpretation of Acts) throughout his Epistles. Also in context because his audience were primarily Gentiles who believed in Christ, not converting to Judaism.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles/market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

Some of this meat may have been sacrificed to idols (Which gave Gentiles pause due to Jewish dietary laws), yet God assures Paul that there is no abomination because Jesus/God on the cross said "It is Finished" then in 70 AD really emphasized that point and unleashed freedom, not bondage.
