Modification?

The data is consistently there, though: red meat IS bad for you.

Too much red meat is bad for you. Actually, it is recommended that women (especially those still menstruating) eat red meat once a week or so. Besides, I doubt that God would endorse anything BAD for us and :

Gen 18:1-8

The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground....Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.

Um...GOD ate meat!

Meat back in the days of Abraham was not sent from corporate farms through slaughterhouses and messed about with.

Vegetarianism is essently the hallmark of Ellen Gould Harmon White's "Seventh-day Adventism" philosophy. Jewish seventh-day Sabbath-keeping, the "investigative judgment," and "soul-sleep" are other SDA teachings. NOWHERE does Holy Writ order the Church of Jesus Christ to refrain from eating meat, in fact Paul warns against those who do in these last days (1 Timothy 4:3).

Vegetarianism is fine for those who wish such, however it should never be held over others as something demanded of Jehovah God for the Church today.

I guess I would never make it as a real vegen then. I like my cheese, milk and butter and icecream too much to be a true vegen. otherwise i do eat meat but not much cause a good salad beats a steak any day in my book but if someone were to offer me crab or shrimp then the salad can go bye bye too lol.

I have a sister in law that has an iteresting diet. She is a vegan. 80% of her food is also raw. I see few health benefits to such a diet. The premis of the diet is based on some verse in Genesis that says meat is bad or something like that. She has used many of the preceived health benefits of such a diet supported by her interpretation of the Bible to justify her annorexia. I don't belive if a person is a vegetarian they have an eating disorder. What I find amazaing is that there is actually some christian preacher/MD that is promoting this diet. He packages his diet and his gospel together so you can buy his products on line. I think this guy offers a "retreat" where you can come cultivate his land and help grow natural food.

You'd be amazed the food that you just assume is good for you but actually is BLECH for your body. White bread (like Wonder bread), for example, is HORRIBLE (but I still loves me some PB&J so I guess that just shows the extent of my willpower where carbs are concerned). Raw food trends etc. aren't that far off the mark. Unfortunately, people use those trends and vegetarianism and South Beach and Adkins and so forth to justify eating disorders, which is sad. But yeah, all the vegetarians I know made that dietary choice for either health or moral reasons.

I have quite a fondness of seafood too! I could eat lobster and crab and shrimp 24/7 if I could afford it!

Katie, do you have the 'Dollar General' store near you? They sell a bag (1 lb I think) of shrimp for five bucks. And it's good quality, not little bitty things.

Just thought you should know.

Well, there's no arguing with that! I won't say I don't wonder what goes into hotdogs....but I still don't think Christians shouldn't eat meat LOL
