Eat To Live

What did God intend for us to eat?

1. When God calls an item food:

God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." (Gen. 1:29)

"You will eat the plants of the field." (Gen. 3:18)

"These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep." (Deut. 14: 4-5)

2. When God brings items to His people as gifts:

"Also the food I provided for you - the fine flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat." (Ezek. 16:19)

3. If Jesus ate or served an item:

"He took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people." (Matt. 15:36)

While fresh fruits, farm-grown veggies and protein-rich meat are readily available in our land, the genuis of man has figured out how to prepare, manufacture, cook, microwave, and market mass-produced foods in ways not very healthy for us...."Like sheep following the next one off a cliff, we are passing through checkout lines with shopping carts filled with processed foods missing many of the nutrients God intended us to receive."

The foods God intended for us to eat contain no refined or processed carbs, no altered or damaged fats, and no artificial sweeteners.

"Eat foods that God created and in a form that is healthy for the body."
