You might need a little milk or eggs to supplement the missing animal
components.
Humans are 'designed' to eat animal/insect products - they produce a
powerful acid and various enzymes for digesting animal proteins.
AnthHumans were not designed to eat animals/insects in the beginning.
Do you know 'ironjustice'?
Quoted message 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." Genesis 1:29."Thou shall eat the herb of the field." Genesis 3:18
An explanation.
We believe that "In the beginning God created ... man and woman." We
also believe that when God created us that He made us unique, with the
freedom to choose. And yet how could we choose without gaining
information. He gave us the information we needed to choose wisely,
unfortunately, throughout history, we have a reputation of
disregarding God's wisdom and instead following our own foolish ideas.
This is in regard to whom we would follow right down the line to what
would be important to us. This included what we would eat, drink and
how we would live. God told us to eat the "seed-bearing plant on the
face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in
it", Genesis 1:29, in other words, fruits, seeds, nuts and grains. (By
the way, He gave the green plants for the animals to eat.) We were to
eat in addition the fruit from the tree of life. From these foods, we
would receive all the nourishment we would need to live forever. After
the fall, however, we would no longer have access to the tree of life,
and thus would no longer live forever. At that time God told us to add
to our diet the plants of the field, greens, vegetables, Genesis 3:18.
This addition would replace the necessary nutrients, needed for a
healthy body, (not an everlasting one),that we would no longer be
receiving from the tree of life.. On this diet, man lived to an
average age of 912 years without a single recorded instance of
sickness! It was not until after the flood, when man had grown so
wicked that God regretted creating man and so destroyed the earth,
that God gave permission for man to eat certain meats that were to be
prepared in certain ways. In less that 10 generations on this type of
lifestyle, man's average age went from 912 to 100 years of age. Today
that average is about 70! What we are encouraging is for us to return
to the lifestyle God originally told us to follow for good health. In
so doing, we believe that we can give our bodies the nutrients that
God created us as needing, in order to rebuild our much depleted
immune system and also to build healthy cells for a healthier body.I believe ths explanation to be correct.
There will be naysayers who will say it is sales hype.
I say it's just total nonsense.
