Good Morning,
One of the greatest lessons of Christ is that we must be in company others who are yet to be saved. The others are the Ethnos or Gentiles. They are also mislead Jews.
We must work with others. We must be in fellowship with others in order to minister and serve. We also are fully aware that devil worship is prevalent and that we may find our food is with impure ingredients, and is sacrificed to devils via Idolatry. But all food is lawful for us and we only refuse eating if we witness and know the food has been offered say for example to the Buddha, Krishna, Ganesh or any image of God which is itself an abomination.
Even a cook who curses in preparing the food is worshipping the devil. New age nonsense tells us that it's bad karma. That's nonsense. When we ask for a blessing of Lord He sanctifies our meals. Christianity is not convoluted mantras, rituals and rules. Christianity is simple.
On your own read 1st Corinthians 10. It is only 33 verses.
1st Corinthians 10 mentions Idolatry and devil worship.

1 Cor 10:6-7 KJV “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
---
1 Cor 10:13-14 KJV “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”
---
1 Cor 10:18-21 KJV “Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19. What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20. But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”

The context in 1st Corinthians is clear also for the Christian that he may be in fellowship with many and they may offer food to devil's before serving us but we can eat if we are not told that this has happened! But we do not eat if we are told that food is offered or sacrificed to devils or idols because the act of eating curses those who offer to us, not that we are cursed. We are not. We refuse so that those others will realize their offering to devils is a waste of time and it is an evil ON THEM.

1 Cor 10:22-27 KJV “Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24. Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
25. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
27. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.”
---
The above statement is extremely powerful. When we ask the Lord to bless our meals upon presentation we are protected from the evil and nonsense of this world. How many nutritionist experts mention praying before your meal? We pray because it has been given to us. Unless we know specifically that it was a sacrificial offering then the food by asking for the Lord's blessing is good to eat. Because as Christians we are in fellowship with others to minister unto Christ.

1 Cor 10:28-33 KJV “But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:
29. Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
30. For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.”

Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 10 - King James Version
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were...
From CatTurd:
The Lord will allow troubles to come to us because we all share the responsibility of the knowledge of good and evil. We also will be blessed by asking for this.
Make no mistake, the Lord is not pleased by us being religious. He is pleased by us obeying his word and his will. To the philosopher we are religious and we are the same as others who mumble nonsense and worship manufactured abominations.
It's our faith that makes the difference. It's our direct relationship with The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Our prostration is to nothing that men can make with their hands! Our blessings are from nothing that men can make up!

Psalm 13
Psa 13 KJV “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2. How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3. Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4. Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”
