Should such a thing happen, does not the honour commandment go out the window?
My next query is with Mark 7 where all foods become clean, it's not things that go in but things that come out of a man are unclean.
But there are still some unclean things which people could call, "food"?
Thanks

The honoring is like our system. We obey the state government, as long as it coincides with federal government. But the federal government is the boss and has the last word. The state government cannot go against what the federal governmnent has said.
We obey and honor our parents as long as it coincides with God's will.
God is the boss. As soon as "honoring" your parents start to go against God and what He said, then it's God we obey and not our parents. Of course, one has to be wise to discern exactly at which point honoring our parents starts to go against God's will.
I don't think that there is any food that is unclean as far as God is concerned. He let us eat all of it. (for Christian era, not for old testament era where people used to live under the law)
If some people consider some unclean, it's their own belief, tradition or something else...
