The whole point of the apostle Paul's discourse on this
subject was to prefer the other person's conscience or
sensitivty in the areas where he or she may be weak.

The fact that Labelle and friend could share a meal where
each ate or drank something the other wouldn't (on principles)
eat or drink is not relevant because neither was offended.

Paul's context was that He would voluntarily give up his RIGHT
to eat or drink anything that would shake the faith of a baby
Christian brother or sister.
