And in the Greek/Roman cities, the temples would cook and serve the
meat as "fast food" to raise money.
This is discussed in Romans 14:14-15 (NASB)
I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing
is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to
be unclean, to him it is unclean. For if because of food
your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according
to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ
died.
The background of this passage is that some Christians thought it
was OK to eat pagan temple meat (because they knew that pagan gods
were false) and some Christians did not want to (or see other
Christians) eat pagan temple meat because it reminded them of their
pre-Christian lives and might draw them back into that lifestyle.
