Thanks Spencer!
Here is a link to a great new documentary on the Word of Wisdom! Learn how Mormons are finding the hidden treasures in the Word of Wisdom. Please forward to family and friends! [PS I am also including many of you who are not Mormon so that you have this information to keep your Mormon friends in line by reminding them about the dietary guidelines they have been given. 🙂
But there are just a few more things I would have included in the movie after eating a plant based Daniel diet for 40 years….
#1 The promises which come with living the laws of the Word of Wisdom – wisdom and hidden treasures of knowledge…. Mental clarity is the very first blessing I, and most everyone else I have spoken with who changed to a plant based diet, have experienced.
#2 The following statement by Joseph Fielding Smith in a letter dated December 30, 1944 :
“This is my answer to you in relation to President Brigham Young’s statement that mother should not feed their small children meat. Yes, small children do not need the flesh of animals. May I add also that adults would be better if they would refrain from too much eating of meat. As far as I am concerned the eating of meat should be very sparingly. In fact I will be contented if the Millennium was to be ushered in next week. When it is, we will learn that the eating of meat is not good for us. Why do we feel that we do not have a square meal unless it is based largely on meat? Let the dumb animals live. [Keep in mind that term “dumb animal” then did not mean they lack intelligence, but only that they lack the ability to speak and express themselves as we do.] They enjoy life as well as we do.
“In the beginning the Lord granted to man the use of flesh of certain animals. See Genesis 9:1-4, but with so many fruits of the soil and from the trees of the earth, why cannot man be content? Naturally in times of famine the flesh of animals was perhaps a necessity, but in my judgement when the Millennium reaches us, we will live above the need of killing dumb innocent animals and eating them. If we will take this stand in my judgment we may live longer.
“Very sincerely, Joseph Fielding Smith”
#3 This is our second estate. In the first estate we proved we could live all the laws of the gospel in a spiritual body. In this second estate the test is to prove we can live all the laws in a physical body and caring for our bodies by eating this way rids our minds of that carnal nature making living those laws FAR easier for us to live as it connects the spiritual so much easier to the physical.
#4 The Millineal diet? Bruce McConkie said that if we live the laws of the Millennium now it will come now! And what is a Millineal diet – one where nothing dies. So we can get healthy AND bring the Millennium along with it! Sounds like a plan to me!!!!! I for one am tired of putting up with the mess we have made of our world and think a 1000 years of peace would be REALLY nice right now!
#5 On a plant based Millineal diet you wake up to the amazingly HUGE variety of foods available to us, most of which we had never even heard of before! And as we taste so many for the first time our taste buds come alive awakening to how much we have been missing with diets based solely on which animal body part we are going to bury today in the graveyard we have turned our body into – a body which needs the application of so many chemicals in order to hide the putrid body odors given off by all the smells of rotting flesh and death we have just consumed.
#6 It is most likely you will never again find a need to darken the door of a doctor’s office or hospital again. In the 40 years I have been on a plant based diet I have not seen a doctor even though when I made the change I had just left a hospital after major” surgery and with a terminal illness. Since then I have had no illnesses and have not taken even one pharmaceutical drug since that time.
