I dont know anyone who who sticks a straw in the veins of the animals the have hunted
There might be a few crazies, but I dont see any problem
Same with meat sacrificed to idols, its not a huge problem, when was the last time you were invited to someones house for dinner and the host said, "Your butterball was sacrificed unto an idol before I set it before you"?
If that ever happened politely decline, head to Burger King for a whopper and get some new freinds

There is blood by products that are use in our foods in order to make it look fresh, but it is better than using pink slime which it is scrapped meat that is treated with some type of ammonia to kill pathogens and which pathogens is one of the reasons why God didn't want us to eat the blood, He wanted us to be in good health; but eating meat with ammonia residue that is preserving the meat is not good as well; but the ammonia could of have came from cow's urine and which they uses urine for all sorts of stuff; and they use to step on grapes to make wine, I'm assuming that is where they get their yeast from the feet in order to help with the fermentation of the wine, and which grapes has it own yeast, but with that amount it has, takes longer to ferment. But God had clean everything for only those that truly believed what He has told us. But this site below, I just added to have some to ponder on it.

I’m sure the children of Israel were the most healthy people around. After all they were God’s chosen people. No doubt that some of the laws given them were to teach them about sin and some of the laws were given to keep them healthy. There were no refrigerators then to keep food from spoiling like meet and juice. And we know what happens to fruit juice after it sits for awhile, it ferments. Yes before you comment, I’m sure they used salt and other things to preserve some of their food.
Institution of the Lord's Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you,28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.Matthew 26

I did has said one of the reasons, and the other is that it isn't good to suck the life out of being, and or boil a kid in its mother's milk, which means to not destroy a life with the very thing that nourishes it or to use the word of God to destroy a person with. There's spiritual meanings and natural meanings in God's words; spirit gives birth to spirits, and flesh gives birth to flesh, and that is why God has given us His spirit, so that we can read His word.

Genesis 18:7-8 And Abraham ran unto the herd and fetcht a calf, tender and good and gave it to a young man and he hastened to dress it. And he took butter and milk (big no no) and the calf which he had dressed and set it before them and he stood by them under the tree and they did eat.
Abraham prepares NON KOSHER meal for the LORD!!!
What God has made clean let man call unclean.
I like medium to medium rare and I love BLTs.

Abraham did not violate any of the Biblical dietary restrictions that God gave. The prohibition against mixing meat and dairy is a rabbinical ordinance based off an interpretation of the command not to boil a kid in its mothers milk (Ex. 23:19; Ex. 34:26; Deut. 14:21). This rabbinical ordinance has nothing to do with consuming blood (the topic of the OP) or whether or not one should follow God's dietary restrictions (to which you allude by mention of BLTs). These things are Biblical; the details of the rabbinical ordinance are not.
Abraham's meal was kosher (Biblically speaking).

This is part of the reasoning (among other possible reasons) that Chabad uses today to explain the story in a way that does not conflict with the rabbinical interpretation of the Ex. and Deut. verses. I don't personally believe the rabbinical interpretation is correct, so I don't see Abraham in violation of any of the commands that came 400+ years later.
This is slightly off topic, but I believe the commands at Mt. Sinai are a revelation and not entirely a new invention. Meaning that I believe some of them predated the revelation.
"Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." (Genesis 26:5, KJV)
We find multiple references to commands, and to sinful action, before the Mt. Sinai experience. Just how much was previously revealed, we cannot know for sure. Noah knew the difference between clean and unclean animals, so it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Abraham also knew the difference. It also wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was revealed to him not to eat unclean animals, but the Scriptures do not provide this information for us to know for sure. The only info it does provide is no examples of the later commands be violated, only a future rabbinical ordinance being violated in the case of Abraham.
To get back to the OP, I do not believe that Christians (or anyone, for that matter) are permitted to consume blood.
