Not under this aspect of the law anymore. The NT is quite clear on this. To introduce this sends red flags all over the place.
Now, if your desire to not eat a certain food is because of some practical health concern you have, or due to personal taste, you are free as a Christian to make that choice. But, NO ONE who is born again is obligated to obey the ceremonial law anymore.
Do you make sacrifices, too? Do you believe men have be circumcised to be right with God?
I didn't think so.

There is no passage of Scripture supporting this theory. 
There is Scripture that refutes it, in Galatians 3:10 and James 2:10.
Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” (emphasis added, of course)
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

The foods that were considered unclean were now, in the time of Peter, considered clean. Circumcision is no longer a spiritual requirement. That aspect of the law is no longer relevant to us.

I found an article discussing the definition of holiness and might've saved it but I'm a coffee short of the ambition to search for it atm. Of course, I liked it because it supported my notion of holiness which basically is that we can't be any more or less holy than a vessel set apart for a specific purpose. For example, the lamppost isn't less holy because it ran out of oil, or the table of showbread isn't less holy because it was taken out of the temple. I don't even think it can cease being holy even if it is defiled.

Holiness can be a good thing... In moderation. Holey-ness, not so much.
I've heard of churches where they handle snakes and drink poison to prove their faith. I've heard of churches where they only wear white shirts, no colored shirts. I've heard of churches that forbid musical instruments. But I've never yet heard of a church that shuns indoor plumbing and says you gotta carry a shovel to go poop.

I agree with Gideon300.
Gentiles weren't given the Law of Moses which was given by God solely to the Children of Israel by Covenant. There are 613 mitzvot or commands in it derived from Torah. Rather, they were given the Noahide Law. Any Orthodox Rabbi worth their salt can affirm this.
The New Covenant of Jesus Christ (born under the Law of Moses) subsumed some but not all of the Old Covenant, thus the doing away of the dietary rules.

Are you saying that do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery, etc., are okay to disobey and indulge in? Do you think it's okay to break these and sin, so that grace may abound more?
I do not know of any verse that specifically states that "we are still under the moral law". But, to suggest that we are not to still make the moral law part of our lives is to say that it is permissible to break it. That is heresy.
You obey these commandments because, as James says, we show our faith by what we do. What do you think he meant?
Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves, because that, and love God with all your heart, summed up the commandments.
