Is the food you are eating God-made or man-made? - Part 1a

Introduction

Gen 1:10-13 OOYLT
And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that it is good. And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed is in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so. And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed is in itself) after its kind; and GOD SEETH THAT IT GOOD; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day third.

Think about the original plan that God had for His Creation. God intended for man to eat plant-based food. We were never meant to eat animals or mineral-based food (like salt). It is man that created food we were never meant to eat. For a healthier lifestyle, eat a high percentage of God-made food.

For those whom are trying to lose weight, do not diet. Diet is a four-letters word. It is legalistic and has alot of "don't". Furthermore if you gain the weight back after dieting, your body is in worse shape than if you never dieted. God created food to enjoy, not to control. Make a lifestyle change, not follow some restrictive rule. Find God-made food you like - and do not mess it up with man-made food (e.g., add man-made fat and/or sugar, etc) - but add plant-based spices and herbs - and add it into your meals. Think positively - add healthy food - not cancel junk food. By adding God-made food to your meals, you will naturally eat a lower percentage of man-made food.

If you are unaware of glycemic index (GI), surf through a DuckDuckGo search for "glycemic index"

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=glycemic+index

Notice that in general, God-made foods have lower GI than man-made foods.

Also beware of numerous sugar-substitute - most of which are more harmful than sugar.

Difference between unsaturated and saturated fat

God-made foods like avocado and nuts have unsaturated fat. Many man-made foods like cake and donut have saturated fat. There a difference. See

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/the-difference-between-trans-fats-saturated-fats-and-unsaturated-fats-1.2426233

A recent find is about the problem with PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acid). There are two kind of unsaturated fat: monounsaturated fat and PUFA. The first article listed below in seed oil section, written by One Day MD, quotes

  *  Saturated fats, which have a full complement of hydrogen atoms
  *  Monounsaturated fats, which are missing a single hydrogen atom
  *  PUFAs, which are missing multiple hydrogen atoms
    
  The missing hydrogen atoms make PUFAs highly susceptible to oxidation, which means
  the fat breaks down into harmful metabolites.

PUFA is worse than saturated fat. For more, see the section, Seed Oils, near the bottom.

Difference between Hybrid and GMO foods

Hybrid and GMO (genetically modified organisms) are not the same. All GMO foods are high-tech hybrid foods. Low-tech hybrid foods are not GMO foods. See quotes from

Hybrid Seeds vs. GMOs
https://www.foodrenegade.com/hybrid-seeds-vs-gmos/

Farmers and gardeners have been cultivating new plant varieties for thousands of years through selective breeding. They did this by cross-pollinating two different, but related plants over 6 to 10 plant generations, eventually creating a new plant variety.

Unlike hybrid seeds, GMO seeds are not created using natural, low-tech methods. GMO seed varieties are created in a lab using high-tech and sophisticated techniques like gene-splicing.

In short: Hybrid Seeds are nothing to fear, but you may not want to support them given that they fail to breed true and have caused so much global havoc. GMO seeds are far more unnatural and likely to cause harm - both to your environment and your health.

History of Genetically Engineered (GE) Food and the Introduction of GE Soil Bacteria
EDITOR’S SUMMARY: The “advancement” of technology, including food bioengineering, is not necessarily a move in the right direction. “Right”—healthy for human bodies, animals, and the environment. Questioning the expansion of an industry’s methods, products, and intentions is smart and good. Has industrial agriculture gone too far by altering the biology of food and the soil from which it grows? If you think this is too extreme to be beneficial for children, yourself, and your greater community, raise your awareness, look ahead, and consider next steps.

Gen 9:3-4 OOYLT
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole; only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat.

Deut 12:15-16 OOYLT
'Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates; the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, and as of the hart. 'Only, the blood ye do not eat -- on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

Acts 15:19-20 OOYLT
wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God, but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

Acts 21;25 OOYLT
'And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.'
