At the beginning of time, God created man. The Bible speaks of him not as an angel, but as a creature of flesh and blood, who needs air, clothing, food, society, etc. Man is an angel in the flesh, i.e. spirit and flesh at the same time, in which these components are properly balanced.
A person needs food daily. In the time of Christ, the grocery set of an ordinary person did not shine with variety. Even a modern student eats better. Currently, we have a fairly diverse table, and the amount of food consumed is not small.
In the East there is a proverb: "Sleep with the Arabs, and eat with the Jews." It is understood that Jews cannot have bad food. What he ate can be eaten by everyone. Some foods are forbidden by religion (such as pork and shrimp). They have a special cooking ritual (kosher food), aimed at a sparing attitude towards animals.

At our slaughterhouses, animals are dealt with without ceremony. In such places you can even feel animal fear. As a result, a colossal amount of biologically active substances that enter the meat are thrown into the blood of the unfortunate. Hygiene experts do not even recommend eating such meat. Kosher food is specially prepared so that the animal experiences as little suffering as possible. So the Christian does not defile himself from this food, but will only be healthier.
Animals are service beings called upon to serve man. They have their own soul. For this reason, by direct instruction from the Holy Scriptures, a Christian is forbidden to eat their blood (black pudding, steak with blood, hematogen, etc.).
Based on modern realities, we can conclude that man was created in order to spoil and devour everything around. But it is intended for another. He is a king, not a tyrant. The Church has nothing against a person eating meat, but the scale of meat eating is growing every year, inspiring concern. Meat daily on our table. Modern civilization is gradually turning into a stream of animal blood. It is possible that sooner or later human blood will join it, since gluttony is mystically dangerous.
The United Nations believes that there are four products without which humanity cannot survive. These are rice, corn, potatoes and wheat. UN experts are confident that these products are the food supply for humanity. In Russian, bread is an indispensable product. This is the name of the Lord. He said: "I am the bread of life." For Jews, an invitation to the table sounds like “eat bread”, and there can be a variety of food on the table. When they bless food, they do it with bread. Once the bread has been broken, all the food on the table is considered holy.
