Fatal Foods

     Descarte said, "I think, therefore I am." Whereas I have the internet, therefore I don't have to think. And because I am on the internet, I am bombarded with health advice. Because we are bombarded, health advice keeps upping the ante with increasingly alarming labels. The same food that used to be simply good for you has become food that prevents cancer. By contrast, other foods are practically considered toxic. It is a sign of the politicized times we live in. In the 60's it was enough to tolerate differences, affirmation is now demanded. For instance, anyone who doesn't affirm that the homosexual lifestyle is equally valid with heterosexuality, is said to be guilty of hate. I think that is why food has gone from being healthy vs. everyday to lifesaving vs. fatal.
     I try to eat well to be a good steward of my body, but tune out authors who claim the human body is not designed to digest ordinary foods like milk, wheat or sugar. I believe God made our bodies able to thrive in the diverse foods, climates, and cultures He knew we would encounter throughout the ages. If Christians are not to live in fear of Satan, who hates us and actively works against us, I will not live in fear of the food provided by a God who loves us and actively seeks to bless us. Bon apetit!
