Re: Do you break the law if you eat meat in a vegetarian country?
How would you behave in a country that forbid or ban the eating of meat?
I believe no human law is above GOD's law, so the ban should not affect you as a true christain because GOD allows eating of meat. Eating good meat and eating moderately is good for us.
But for the sake of love and not desrepecting members of the society, you try to avoid eating in their presence. And you also inform them that meat is not harmful to us esp if eaten the right way. A just society would investigate your claim, and unban meat eating if found to be true.
Afterall, the purpose of law is for the good of society, people and the world. If you insist on holding tightly to laws that serve no good purpose then you are the problem.
There are good and bad laws. Your law has to be good.

This whole idea needs deep thinking. 1 Peter 2:13-17:
Quote from: https://biblehub.com/niv/1_peter/2.htm
13Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 17Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.
