 If the bible says you shouldn't eat it, I ain't going to willingly eat it.

If you look at the base dietary "laws", they essentially define an optimally healthy, least allergenic, and least gross things to eat.

Peter's vision about eating everything was  not only about rejecting the religious and ceremonial aspect of dietary laws, but it was primarily about not judging people and placing yourself above others with your food preferences, particularly when witnessing to gentiles the sacrifice of Christ, God's forgiveness and our gift of sonship.
