Perhaps the suggestion presented in Daniel 1:12 points us beyond fad diets to a meaningful way of eating at the “time of the end”—a dietary choice that manifests the Creator’s intentions for greater health and compassion, an eschatological diet, as it were, that is persuasive to those of other faiths. Perhaps it’s time for a new diet much like Daniel’s.
Not only is a plant-based diet scientifically proven to be good for your health, but whole-plant foods just taste better to me
What kind of festive merriment can be there without the turkey, ham or any of that lard infused gravy?
There are several reasons why I choose to skip the turkey this year and celebrate a plant-based Thanksgiving.
In case you are wondering, my decision to follow a plant-based diet comes down to how I treat God’s creation—animals, humans, and the earth. I am a plant based vegetarian because of my belief in the Bible.
Given the traditions of my Jewish and Hindu friends and the sensitivity of my vegan friends who demand compassion for all creatures, they would be highly offended if I consumed factory-farmed pigs and cows while advocating and otherwise adhering to Biblical principles of love, mercy, and compassion.
Every day, we vote for the world we want to live in through the choices we make. Picking up the fragments and living within our means are good choices.
I long for a theology of divine compassion and love in this world. God cares for us deeply, but His compassion isn’t for us alone.
As a vegetarian, what do I eat for Thanksgiving? Our family table is spread with a variety of delicious and flavorful dishes
