Soaking Wet

[Guest guest]

We don't need to worry about releasing enzyme inhibitors. Do you

see anyone physically ill because they didn't release enzyme

inihibitors? If someone didn't know about releasing enzyme

inhibitors, they would still be fine by just eating the nuts. I

think our stomachs can handle digesting nuts just as they are. If

some humans can eat the SAD, crazy things they do, meat, etc., and

die a natural death at an old age, I think our bodies are equipped

to digest raw plant food as it is. I think food was meant to be

picked up and eaten, not processed in any way except maybe cut or

peeled. I think that's how God made it for us. He didn't make

eating complicated for us. The human ego who has to go to great

lengths with his extraordinary mind is the one who decided he has to

process food in some way.

 

I have nothing against cold water, I drink it all the time, so

soaking nuts in cold water wouldn't upset my mental equilibrium, but

I seriously doubt if there's a real need for it. And if there's no

need for it, there's better things I can do with my time. Service

is the goal of life and maximizing time for it is a prerogative.

 

If you need to soak a grain to make it softer and easier to chew

then it probably isn't meant for human consumption, I don't eat

them. Raw, they're not very tasty, like eating grass or something,

which I don't eat either. Man isn't meant to eat everything he can

figure out how to eat, he's meant to eat a few things like the rest

of the animals on the planet.

 

Rudeness is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has a different

opinion as to what rudeness is, however they don't realize that what

they hold is an opinion. People tend to think everything they

believe is a fact. Just another example of the powerful human

created in God's image, imitating his father in heaven.

 

If something could even theoretically lead to intestinal rupture

then it's probably not meant to be eaten at all. That would be a

spiritual clue that you probably shouldn't eat it. It's better to

be safe than sorry, it's better to avoid anything that could have

bad effects, rather than trying to figure out how to use it safely.

Imho, of course.

 

And I'm real sorry if this offends anyone sensibilities, I know how

much we all want to be right. Just another fascinating aspect of

being human, it probably imitates the spirits.

Rich,

You have a great way of stating how we plunge our way through the messes that we

keep getting ourselves into. People really do want to be creative and perform

just like God and look what has happened to the majority of us. Creativity is

good but is must be in the right perspective as God gave us all talents.

Because I have eaten meat all my life and cooked vegetables much of the time I

am paying for it now. Indigestion is a big problem and weight around the

organs. I am trying to adjust my eating habits eating more raw and drinking

structured water. I rarely eat out and I don't buy prepared foods. Hopefully

about 6 months down the road I will have succeeded my goals.
