Where is the verse in the bible that says we should eat everything and not be picky about food?

I really detest people who eat selectively and blame it on God. There is somewhere in the Bible, in the Old Testament, that states that God has provided all of these delicious food on earth for you to enjoy so just go ahead and eat them and enjoy yourself. Personally, I think being picky about food is a sin against God. Not eating food like pork is an outright act of defiance. I can't remember that exact verse and where its found but I need it to shut those people up. Serious answers only, please. Tell me the book and verse. Thanks!

    "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything."

    This passage might be what you are looking for:

    Acts 11:[5] I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me. [6] Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air: [7] And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat. [8] And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. [9] And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.

    I know the verse but not where it is but I know this one-basically its not what you eat that defiles the body but what comes out of the moutg as far as speech goes.

    The Bible 'New Testament' says it isn't important what or how you eat. It's what comes out of your mouth that makes you nasty.
