Do you have any basis from research into animal agriculture for the claim that animals are killed as humanely as possible? If hunted or slaughtered? And can you suggest any way that you might be killed humanely? And going on about plants being killed does not doing anything for your argument, there is nothing against eating food from plants and nothing in the Bible suggests anything about any suffering from plants, and they do not bleed, or try to flee, or have any brain or any nervous system for any response. Your argument for plants comes from somewhere else, which you don't say. Yet a lot more plants are killed for our demand for animal agriculture. Rain forests are being destroyed right now for more land for animal agriculture, with more feed for that.
There is nothing about humanism in this communication from me, we each are supposed to answer to our conscience, and there are scripture passages which show these things. Nothing is showing "all foods are clean". That is showing an interpretation, without the context. God did not have a change of mind, God never did. God does not change. The will of God does not change.
Your interpretation is what you are believing.
The context in Mark 7:
"Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said,‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God) then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
In the beginning what God's word tells us is that everything in this world of God's creation was perfectly according to God's will. It is certain that much less of this world now is according to God's will, with the curse from sins which are disobedience to God spreading, but disturbingly having the way of living as meant according to God's perfect will, as it was, is not even desired by any generally, not even Christian believers, who are told to pray for God's will on earth as it is in Heaven, while they really just picture what they themselves want regardless of what is shown of God's will to start with.
Elimination of using meat and products from animals could really save our world from the disastrous end we are facing. The awareness of this should go to others.

So now there is great destruction to this earth for things as we want in our lives, and that God hates the destruction to this earth does not mean anything to most. If we lived in the way shown of God's will for us from the start, we would not be contributing to that destructiveness that we can't see how to change as it is. And it will involve, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, and we would not put any limits to hold any of it to (Galatians 5:22-23).
I find the healthiness of this way with just food from plants and some vitamin supplements without processed foods that is avoiding or able to reverse cancers also deals with avoiding other health issues and problems, which are all diet related, certainly includes circulatory issues that lead to heart attacks and strokes, and high blood pressure. And besides abuse to animals, animal agriculture is involved with starving people and ruining the environment. This has abundant evidence and these things just are not according to God's will for us. There is curse to us and our world with insistence on what we choose in serving our belly.
