Happy March! Spring is coming soon! Here is a great recipe to try with out meat.
Lentil Barley Stew
5 c. water
½ c. whole grain barley
1 onion
2-3 sliced carrots
1 t. salt
1 t. basil
1 c. lentils
2-3 diced potatoes
1 T. dried parsley
1 ½ c. tomato sauce
Rinse lentils, and then put in pot with the water. Simmer until almost done, then add remaining ingredients and cook on low in pot till done.
Meat is just not safe to eat anymore. Have you ever read what the Bible and inspiration says about it? There is so much, I don’t know what to leave out, but here are some very good quotes that spoke to my heart.
If you read Genesis 5:5, 5:8, 5:11, 5:14 and 9:29 you will see that the life of the race BEFORE the flood was that man lived much longer.
The life span was drastically shortened after the flood when man was permitted to eat meat. Genesis 11:10-32, 25:7, 35:28, 47:28, and 50:26
One more significant change was recorded after the flood in Gen 11:28 and that was a child died before a parent.
Did you know there was a stipulation given to man when eating meat? Lev 3:17, 7: 26, 27 & 17:10-14…it says NO FAT or BLOOD!
Do you know that God ONLY gave permission to eat animal food to shorten their sinful lives? CD 373.
“Flesh meat creates disease and insubordination.” CD 375
“Our habits of eating and drinking show whether we are of the world or among the number whom the Lord by His mighty cleaver of truth has separated from the world. These are His peculiar people, zealous of good works.” CD 379
“God gave rebellious Israel flesh, but His curse was with it. Thousands of them died while the meat they desired was between their teeth. We have the warning for us NOT to do as they did.” CD 379
“How can those who are seeking to become pure, refined, and holy, that they may have the companionship of heavenly angels, continue to use as food anything that has so harmful and effect on soul and body?” CD 380
“Vegetables, fruits and grains should compose our diet. Not an ounce of flesh meat should enter our stomachs. The eating of flesh is unnatural.” CD 380
“Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet.” CD 380-381
Some of the most popular meats have been tested and rejected by failing to meet minimum health standards. Consumer Reports magazine made an extensive research on hamburgers and gave the results in August, 1971. “A shocking large percentage of the hamburger we purchased was well on the way to putrefaction.”
Ralph Nader, whose organization did a prolonged investigation of packing houses, summed up their findings on hamburgers and hot dogs in the Florida magazine November 7, 1971:
“All these processed meats constitute an imaginative food innovation; they are often used as a handy and profitable dump that allows the packers to get rid of their scraps, substandard or diseased meat, and their less desirable cuts. All they do is douse all these inferior leftovers with coloring and seasoning agents, and market them to an unsuspecting public. Court evidence has shown that contaminated meat, horse meat, and meat from diseased animals that was originally slated for dog or cat food has often wound up as hamburger or sausage; while lungs, eyeballs, pig blood and chopped hides are mixed into hot dogs and luncheon meats.
“To reduce the stench and foul taste, such meat is frequently impregnated with sulfite, an illegal additive that gives old decaying meat a healthy pink blush. Since the meat used is often filthy, detergents are frequently used to wash off the dirt, and to stretch profits, so-called binders are added to hold the shreds of meat together---generally cereals, but occasionally sawdust.”
If that was 1971 it must be worse now…and I sure don’t want to be eating sulfite, detergents and sawdust ! Do you?
“A diet of flesh meat tends to develop animalism.....animalism lessens spirituality, rendering the mind incapable of understanding truth.” CD 381
“Those who use flesh meat disregard all the warnings that God has given concerning this question. They have not the slightest excuse for eating the flesh of dead animals. Many times when meat is eaten, it decays in the stomach, and creates disease. Cancers, tumors, and pulmonary diseases are largely caused by meat eating.” CD 383
“When will those who know the truth take their stand on the side of right principles for time and for eternity? When will they be true to the principles of health reform? When will they learn that it is dangerous to use flesh meat? I am instructed to say that if ever meat eating were safe, it is not safe now.” CD 384
“Cancers, tumors, and all inflammatory diseases are largely caused by meat eating.” CD 388
“The meat diet is the serious question. Shall human beings live on the flesh of dead animals? The answer, from the light that God has given is, No, decidedly No.” CD 388
“It is impossible for those who make free use of flesh meats to have an unclouded brain and an active intellect.’ CD 389
The intellectual, the moral, and the physical powers are depreciated by the habitual use of flesh meats. Meat eating deranges the system, beclouds the intellect, and blunts the moral sensibilities. We say to you, dear brother and sister, your safest course is to let meat alone.” CD 391
“Meat is not essential for health or strength…All the elements of nutrition are contained in the fruits, vegetables, and grains.” CD 395
“The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.” CD 386
“There are those among Seventh-day Adventists who will not heed the light given them in regard to this matter. They make flesh meat a part of their diet. Disease comes upon them. Sick and suffering as a result of their own wrong course, they ask for the prayers of the servants of God. But how can the Lord work in their behalf when they are not willing to do His will, when they refuse to heed His instruction in regard to health reform?” CD 400
“Flesh foods are injurious to the physical well-being, and we should learn to do without them. Those who are in a position where it is possible to secure a vegetarian diet, but who choose to follow their own preferences in this matter, eating and drinking as they please, will gradually grow careless of the instruction the Lord has given regarding other phases of the present truth, and will lose their perception of what is truth; they will surely reap as they have sown.” CD 402
...dead carcasses should always be looked upon as not fit to compose the diet of Christians.” CD 414
There is so much in the SOP for us to read and learn its amazing…God really does want us to change our diets and go back to the original one He gave us in the beginning.
In the light of so much counsel on the subject, how can we explain why almost half of our people still feed on the dead bodies of animals?
Do you know what the definition of food is? It is things that give the body nutrition by the same time NOT causing harm. Let’s eat real food then and not cause harm to our body that God gave us.
Let’s be the peculiar people we were called to be and live the truth we have been given by God. May God bless you as you improve your diet and health so you can hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you!

HEALTH NEWS ~ FEBRUARY
Hello everyone! It’s hard to believe it's February already. Next month we can look forward to spring! Here is a good, healthy treat to make using no refined sugar.
Almond Joy’s
1½ c. boiling water
2 ¼ c. dates
1 t. salt
¼ t. almond extract
1 c. barley flour
2/3 c. almond butter
3 c. coconut (unsweetened)
Pour boiling water over dates in a blender. When softened add salt and almond extract. Partially liquefy leaving some lumps. In a large mixing bowl place flour and nut butter. Cut together until nut butter is evenly distributed. Add coconut and date mixture. Blend well. Prepare cookie sheets with non -stick spray. Drop onto cookie sheet ( any size) and press an almond (or two) into each one. Bake 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until slightly brown. Yield: 50-55 cookies
To store the cookies, put them in the refrigerator or freezer.
What God created is what He intended for us to eat. His original diet was to nourish, strengthen and build our bodies.
It’s important to recognize that what we feed our children will directly affect their nature, their character, their attitude, their physical being.
Parents should make it their first business to understand the laws of life and health, that nothing shall be done by them in the preparation of food, or through any other habits, which will develop wrong tendencies in their children. How carefully should mothers study to prepare their tables with the most simple, healthful food, that the digestive organs may not be weakened, the nervous forces unbalanced, and the instruction which they should give their children counteracted by the food placed before them. This food either weakens or strengthens the organs of the stomach and has much to do in controlling the physical and moral health of the children, who are God's blood-bought property. What a sacred trust is committed to parents to guard the physical and moral constitutions of their children so that the nervous system may be well balanced and the soul not be endangered! Temp. 184
This tells me what I fix my children may develop wrong tendencies…Wow you mean if I give my child candy that it will make a difference in them following instructions we give them…..it will destroy their nervous systems is what it is saying.
I think it applies to adults as well; we have the same bodies!
Appetite controls and passions are out of control because of our diet. It’s a serious problem in our country today.
The yearly consumption of sugar in 1820 was 8 lbs. per person....less than one T. per person a day. Then in 1990, the average American consumes 140 lbs. of sugar a year, 16 T. or 1 cup a day !!! WOW!!! What a difference!
Those of us who don’t consume that much sugar, someone else is eating our share. I wonder who is eating my share?
Sugar is in everything, all processed foods and even canned vegetables…and more. We are over stimulating and ruining the health of our kids thru the use of sugar alone, to say nothing of the additives, preservatives and colorings and all the other chemicals they are pouring into food that are killing our health and making our spiritual nature benumbed.
Vitamin B is a very important vitamin in the body and it is necessary for vital body functions. It is to control the nervous system, regulate and calm the nerves and to make them function well. Vitamin B is needed to metabolize sugar. What happens then when we consume too much sugar? The body robs the Vitamin B from the nervous system and sends it over to the metabolizing and digesting of the sugar to maintain all the sugar overload that’s coming into the body and then the nervous system is short circuiting. The nerves become frayed, frazzled, and spasmodic. The child becomes very HYPERACTIVE because they don’t have Vitamin B to meet needs of the nervous system and it becomes out of control and children become hyperactive and their attention span decreases.
Through the channel of appetite, the passions are inflamed, and the moral powers are paralyzed, so that parental instruction in the principles of morality and true goodness falls upon the ear without affecting the heart. The most fearful warnings and threatenings of the word of God are not powerful enough to arouse the benumbed intellect and awaken the violated conscience. Temp. 183
Our passions are inflamed and our moral powers become paralyzed…that means that our ability to stand for what’s right when we know its right becomes paralyzed so that parental instruction and the principles of morality and true goodness falls upon the ear without affecting the heart.
When thru the channel of appetite, our passions become inflamed, our moral powers and the moral powers of our children become paralyzed and our instruction to our children fall on deaf ears without affecting the heart, that means no change in character. Don’t we want to change the heart so the character changes?
It’s saying that by what we feed our children we can actually short circuit the Spirit of God the Holy Spirit working in the heart of our children, because of the appetites raging and the passions becoming out of control.
God help us as parents to wake up to see that what we feed our children (and ourselves) is not just hurting their physical body for the moment but it is affecting their moral and spiritual character for eternity.
Look at our nation today. The morality of this nation and our country, the passions and temper, the whole atmosphere, it’s intense, immoral and evil.
God wants us to recognize that what we do as parents in how we feed our children (and ourselves) is having a dramatic affect.
I pray God will help you to make the necessary changes in your diet and in your children’s diet so that you and they can develop good moral and spiritual characters for eternity!

Jesus Ate Fish Explaination
The answer would be: "Yes, it is true that Jesus ate fish when He was here upon earth.....however, would He do the same today? Fish are contaminated with mercury, aluminum & toxic waste from industrial/chemical/sewage pollution of our waters. Eating meat was not a sin....never has been, as long as the fat and the blood are removed. However, the eating of it and the eggs and dairy products as well is just not a healthy choice....especially with all the disease in the animal kingdom, ie. mad cow, and then there's the growth hormones, antibiotics they shoot in them, etc.
Also, it is clear that God is trying to lead His people back to the original diet that He gave them at Creation as stated in Gen. 1:29." I suggest reading Isaiah 65 and 66 where it mentions God's condemnation of those that eat swine's flesh and other unclean things. (Isaiah 65:1-5) and also that those who eat swine's flesh and other unclean things will be destroyed by Him at His second coming (Isaiah 66:15-17). Then, in Isaiah 65:17-25 a description of the new heavens and the new earth is given.....and it says in Isaiah 65:25 that the animals will not hurt or destroy one another any more.....it denotes also a change in their diet. Well, if there is change in their diet how much more in ours. Then read what God says in Ezekiel 47:12 and Rev. 22:2. That is a description of what our food will be in heaven and the new earth. We will be eating from the tree of life (fruit)....there will be no flesh eating!
The only reason God allowed the eating of meat in the first place was because of the flood.....all the vegetation had been destroyed and it took some time for the earth to be replenished. The eating of flesh foods was given as a temporary measure until the vegetation could grow back again. God never meant for man to subsist on a flesh diet indefinitely, but God's people got hooked on it....probably because many were possibly disobeying and eating the blood & fat as well!! And, even though God allowed the eating of meat til the vegetation grew back, He still gave restrictions.....no fat, no blood, and no unclean animals to be eaten. See Lev. 3:17 because it mentions both the fat and the blood in the same text. Also Lev. 7:23-24 (no fat) and Lev. 17:10-14 & Act 15:20 (no blood); then a list of all the unclean beasts, fish, fowl, reptiles, creeping things, etc. that are not to be eaten are given in Lev. 11 and Deut. 14. God calls these creatures an "abomination" unto us. And, then there is the scripture in I Cor. 3:16,17.
Remember the wilderness experience of the Israelites....where they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years before entering Canaan, the Promised Land. God rained down manna for them to eat every day (and a double portion on Friday, as they were not permitted to gather it on Sabbath). If flesh food was the best food, don't you think that is what God would have provided for them? But, He didn't. And, then they murmured and complained & were not satisfied with what God had provided. They had gotten used to the "flesh pots" of Egypt and were hollering for their meat!! So, God gave them what they were hollering for....he rained down quail for them to eat. In fact, it says that God told them He wasn't going to give it to them for just one day, two days or five days.....but He would give it to them for a whole month "until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you." And, the scriptures also say that God 's wrath was kindled against them (for their murmuring & discontent) and He smote them with a very great plague!! The scripture states that they died with that stuff between their teeth!!! Read the entire chapters of Exodus 16 and Numbers 11 and you will get the picture very clearly. See also Psalms 78:25 - 31. Actually, the whole chapter of Psalms 78 gives a clear picture of God's patience, and Israel's continual sin, discontent, and rebellion. When you read these 3 chapters in context, it is clear that God's wrath and the plague that followed were due to their murmuring about what they were being provided as food.
After the flood the people ate largely of animal food. God saw that the ways of man were corrupt, and that he was disposed to exalt himself proudly against his Creator and to follow the inclinations of his own heart. And He permitted that long-lived race to eat animal food to shorten their sinful lives. Soon after the flood the race began to rapidly decrease in size, and in length of years. CD 373
The life span was drastically shortened after the flood when man was permitted to eat meat. Genesis 11:10-32, 25:7, 35:28, 47:28, and 50:2

HEALTH NEWS ~ DECEMBER
Happy Holidays everyone! Christmas is almost here, so here is a great recipe to try out on all the holiday parties you may be going to or having at your home.
Cranberry Grape Salad
1 pkg. whole fresh cranberries
1 ¼ c. pineapple juice (save from can of pineapple and add more, or use water to make up the difference).
Cook gently until the skin breaks....add ½ - ¾ c. honey and ½ c. Kojel and cook on low for 3 minutes. Blend all in blender until smooth. Let cool while preparing the following:
1 c. red grapes halved or quartered
1 c. diced canned pineapple (drained)
½ c. walnuts or pecans (optional)
Mix well and pour into mold and chill until set. Very good alone or with homemade whip cream (see April's newsletter) on top or with toast.
It is very easy to overeat with all the holidays, so I wanted to share some things with you regarding that and how it affects our body.
“Those who place so much food upon the stomach, and thus load down nature, could not appreciate the truth should they hear it dwelt upon.” CH 158
“What influence does overeating have upon the stomach? It becomes debilitated, the digestive organs are weakened, and disease, with all its train of evils, is brought on as the result.” CH 159
The word of God places the sin of gluttony in the same catalogue with drunkenness. Even if the food we are eating is healthy, we should quit when we are full….even if we haven’t yet tasted several dishes on the table.
“The extra food burdens the system and produces morbid, feverish conditions” we are told in CDF 134.
“Sometimes the result of overeating is felt at once. In other cases there is no sensation of pain; but the digestive organs lose their vital force, and the foundation of physical strength is undermined. The surplus food burdens the system, and produces morbid, feverish conditions. It calls an undue amount of blood to the stomach, causing the limbs and extremities to chill quickly. It lays a heavy tax on the digestive organs, and when these organs have accomplished their task, there is a feeling of faintness or languor. Some who are continually overeating call this all gone feeling hunger; but it is caused by the overworked condition of the digestive organs.” CDF 134
A few more quotes on overeating: I know I am guilty of this and need these quotes for myself too. Pray much and let God lead and guide us at the table.
“And what influence does overeating have upon the stomach? It becomes debilitated, the digestive organs are weakened, and disease, with all its train of evils, is brought on as the result. If persons were diseased before, they thus increase the difficulties upon them, and lessen their vitality every day they live. They call their vital powers into unnecessary action to take care of the food that they place in their stomachs. What a terrible condition is this to be in!” CD 135
“The Lord has instructed me that as a general rule, we place too much food in the stomach. Many make themselves uncomfortable by overeating, and sickness is often the result. The Lord did not bring this punishment on them. They brought it on themselves; and God desires them to realize that pain is the result of transgression.” CD 136
“Nearly all the members of the human family eat more than the system requires. This excess decays and becomes a putrid mass. . . . If more food, even of a simple quality, is placed in the stomach than the living machinery requires, this surplus becomes a burden. The system makes desperate efforts to dispose of it, and this extra work causes a tired, weary feeling. Some who are continually eating call this all-gone feeling hunger, but it is caused by the overworked condition of the digestive organs.” CD 132
The injunction of Christ is, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matt 5:48. Here He shows us that we may be as perfect in our sphere as God is in His sphere.
Wow those are some powerful quotes and really tells it like it is. Let’s glorify and honor God by treating our bodies as He would have us to. I pray none of us will overeat this holiday season.
May you all have a very blessed Christmas; and please REMEMBER Jesus is the reason for the Season.
