A very interesting thread, one that I was contemplating on making as well.
I think that you have brought up very important points. According to my beliefs and my understanding of this matter, every type of food is energy in a form which you take in in the act of eating, and the different type of foods and drinks represent different acts, ideas, concepts.
What you wish to eat is a quite good representation of what acts are you wishing (consciously or unconsciously) to take part in. For example, for many people, eating excessive amounts of red meat is a programmed habit, one that stems from childhood/parenting/peer pressure issues, and at one point in their lives, they stopped using the energy that these kinds of food give, and let it build up as fat in their bodies, messing up the system.
It is interesting to look back at Bhagavad-Gita, for example, which can be called a distorted, yet quite high-level source on how a whole spiritual system views this. There, if your life consists of fighting for your life (aka. you were a soldier), then it is obvious that your fuel will be meat: it represents that part of the 3rd density dynamic. That does not mean you should be ashamed: the system recognizes that there are many souls here who are not jumping right into 4d, but want to experience the struggles of this density as well. And this is important: even at this day and age, the majority of our population wants to experience the struggles - and as many channeled source (and our perception as well) indicates, they will continue this experience into another cycle. Or we might as well, if we decide to do so, being nothing wrong with it...
So the intake of lighter foods represents the need to stop building up that much muscle energy, that much outside movement, that much struggle. If one becomes to be a vegetarian yet maintains a lifestyle that demands certain type of activities, he will be struggling as he did not properly revised his whole system of being. I, for example, have this "easy", my problem came with still eating unhealthy food while sitting all day in front of a computer. So I introduced daily exercises and basically halved my intake daily - but that is not a decision that a factory worker or a soldier can make overnight.
And last, but not least, I have seen many examples of people, happily living through their lives, smiling, creating homes and stable, true families while chain-smoking all day and still not having any pain or cancer, or eating so much meat and fat that just the thought of it makes my stomach tremble, and still live 80+ years. These examples show that how you live is much more important than how you eat. Unless you base your life around the idea of expressing change through dietary changes. That is a different life, with different importance on this matter.
