In The King James Version

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

In Context

3Let the one who eats not hold in contempt or despise the one who does not eat, and let not the one who does not eat pass judgment on the one who eats, for Hashem treats him as an oreach ratzuy (welcome guest).
