I always go back to God, and the Bible. To me, the Word of God is the ultimate truth and sharper than any two edged sword. You live in the Bible belt, so that might fly. Look for Peters vision on unclean food. OrIsaac when he asked his son to get him some game to eat. Or Levitical law where it calls for animals to be sacraficed. Or how Jesus ate fish and served meat to thousands. I mean this could be one side of the argument.

Gen 25
27The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man, staying among the tents. 28Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Or Gen 9:3
3Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
