re: G-d's ideal diet

Genesis, Chapter 4:

 

2: Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

3: In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the

fruit of the ground,

4: and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat

portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,

5: but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very

angry, and his countenance fell.

6: The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your

countenance fallen?

7: If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do

well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you

must master it."

8: Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And

when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel,

and killed him.

9: Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said,

"I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

10: And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your

brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

11: And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its

mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12: When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its

strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

13: Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

 

from this, we could easily justify meat-eating and the nomadic,

hunter-gatherer lifestyle of Abel

and by extension, denounce the agrarian, vegetarian lifestyle

represent by Cain

interestingly, inasmuch as this is a text for the Jewish people, it

speaks of honoring their heritage - clinically, we can see that Jews

have a genetic propensity AI disorders such as Crohn's and Lupus that

can be effectively addressed by removing many agricultural staples

from their diet

 

but PLEASE!!!!!!

let's not bring the Bible into this, and especially a translation

about 14 times removed from its original source (and hence, subject

to many interpretations) otherwise we should be sacrificing

homosexuals that wear cotton-poly blends on a 4 cubit by 4 cubit pyre

This is the first chapter of the Bible where God tells of the great

beginning. It is here where God directs us as to what to eat.

 

Genesis 1:29

 

And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is

upon the face of all the earth , and every tree, in the which is the

fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
