What not to eat?

[Ovedya]

I dunno about armadillo.

I mean, they probably make some pretty good decorative doorstops, but eating them.....

Swine is one of the most terrible foods a person can eat! i.e. pork-ham-sausage-bacon.It does not digest in the human system it just decay`s away until it passes through causing cholesterol to go sky high and causing high blood pressure ect.

It seems to me that since God forbid eating swine in the OT and we know it causes these things in our day it still stands that if you eat it you suffer the consequences.

God bless you all.

I agree bswmiller, Pigs are scavengers and as such eat any and everything. Yuk, it would be like brushing your teeth with a toilet bowel cleaner. Ha! And Lobster, well its just a giant cock roach from the sea ya know?

And also, Israel was ranked number 1 for the healthiest people of the world last year and America came in number 97. I saw this on Fox news. The mediterainian diet is the best in the world. God knew exactly what would keep us healthy and not put the diseases on us as was put on the egyptians.

You can also cook pork until it is a piece of charcoal and there can still be found parisites in it. Its very bad for a persons health.

I dont feel like its a sin to eat it, but its a curse on your body too. I mean, why would God say do not eat or touch the unclean food for your health and benefit and then turn around and say now you are "set-free" to eat it if its bad for you? That doesnt make sense to me.

Let each man be convinced in his own mind but for me Id rather follow Gods take on it and recive the blessing of a healthy body.

Could you provide some reliable citation for your statement that the human digestive system does not digest pork?

I'm skeptical of this statement. Many studies have shown that the healthiest people in the world live throughout the Pacific Rim, in some parts of Africa and in South America.

The World Healthcare Organization published a study not too long ago that ranked Japan #1 in terms of the world's most healthy people. It stands to reason too: Asians eat rice and vegetables as staples - 2 out of every 3 meals includes rice and vegetables.

In fact, Okinowans are among the longest living humans on the planet, with an average life expectancy of 90+ years old!

Can someone be a nice person and sum up the first post in less then 100 words. I am serious not trying to be funny. I got lost through it. I am so new I dont know what the Bible says about food. I guess it will be some research I can do.

Glad to:

THE FOLLOWING INFOMATION CAME FROM THE JOURNAL OF HEALTH AND HEALING, PO BOX 109, WILDWOOD, GA 30757. A COPY OF THE JOURNAL IS $2.97.

A pig is a pig is a pig - Do you not eat any pig products because of what the Bible says? Do you not eat any pig because of what the doctors and scientists say about pig? I finally got to read a report about products that may have pig in them. Would you believe gelatin desserts? A form letter from a manufacturer states, "The production of the gelatin starts with the refinement of collagen-bearing tissues of any animal that has been raised and slaughtered for food purposes. The principal collagen-bearing tissue used is hide trimmings." Food gelatin comes almost exclusively from pigs and cows. Gelatin is not required to be on the list of ingredients, but can be found in beef--jellied beef, corned beef loaves, jellied tongue, cake icing (bakery), candy--bonbon coatings, candy cigarettes, lozenges, wafers, cheese foods, cheese spreads, chewing gum, chicken rolls, chiffon pies, chocolate flavored beverages, chocolate milk, confectionery ingredient, cottage cheese, cream, cream cheese, frozen cheesecake, frozen cream pies, frozen custard, frozen deserts, frozen gravies and sauces, fruit gelatins and puddings, gelatin deserts, ice cream, marshmallows, neufchatel cheese, popsicles, ricotta cheese, sherbets--fruit, turkey rolls, water ices, yogurt, and the list keeps growing.

Lard is fat from hog carcasses. Lard is a commonly chosen ingredient in general purposes commercial shortening, bread and pastry, pie crusts, crackers, cookies, cookie fillers, icing shortening, household shortening, margarine. Anything listing "shortening" is suspect, including baked goods, breads, cake mixes, cakes, canned beans, crackers, packaged mixes of all kinds, pie crusts, pies, snack foods, tortillas. Consumers need to be aware that the ingredients declared on food labels as "mono- and diglycerides" or "emulsifiers" may be derived from lard and thus ultimately from hog carcasses. These compounds are so widely used that we cannot give you a list of foods commonly containing them, but they may be found in beverages, lard, ice cream, iced milk, baked products other than bread and rolls, shortening, confections, chewing gum base component, sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, etc., oleomargarine rendered animal fat or a combination of such fat and vegetable fat, whipped toppings, prepared baking mixes, peanut butter. This information came from the "JOURNAL OF HEALTH & HEALING", VOL. 12 No. 1.

Ah....I was hoping for reliable sources. Such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, for example.

[Guest brotherswmiller]

Listen to this conference tape on the dangers of eating pork.

http://www.moseshand.com/studies/pork.htm

Have you ever wondered why Christ cast the demons into the herd of swine?

Because they are only good for demons to dwell not eating.
