It could be that it has less to do with the object, than with our perception of the object, in those cases. As you were suggesting with my view of meat. I'm not disputing that this dynamic exists. A Bible, for example, carries the potential for a very high charge. But the charge is in the people's reaction to it, not the object itself. People either adore their Bibles or, in the case of non-Christians, might actually loathe them. Look at the difference between how a Muslim might feel about their Koran, vs. how a Christian might feel about the same Koran. A Christian might think it's 'satanic' and actually hate it.
It's the same book. It has nothing to do with the substance in the book, but in the person's view of it. Thus, the charge is in the person, not in the object.
However, that doesn't negate the possibility of some objects carrying a charge because of the substance they are made of, independent of people's view of it.
A bit of arsenic is poisonous, whether the person is aware that they just ingested arsenic or not.
Likewise, a piece of dead animal tissue has fear hormones, physically, whether the person is aware of it or not.
The only difference is in how the person reacts to those fear hormones. I was eating fear hormones for years before I became a vegetarian. That didn't change. When I ate meat again later for a short while, the only thing that changed was that I became aware of it.

There could also be an emotional component there. Junk foods are notoriously good comfort foods. When people feel stressed or depressed, they often reach for the wine, the cheese, the chocolates, the ice cream, the cookies...they are known to help suppress strong emotions and temporarily seem to make the person feel better.
The emotions tend to just get buried though.
