Hi
all!
As
I promised last week, here’s the article about beef. Now
let me upfront CLARIFY that according to God’s Word, it is
OKAY to eat meat! (yes, 7th Day Adventists –
that means even pork!!) (ref: Acts
10:14-15) Nor are we called to be
vegetarians. God made everything good & all is to be
accepted with Thanksgiving. Yet just because it’s been
deemed holy, in today’s trashy – bottom line the almighty
dollar world, does not mean it’s necessarily healthy.
Best advice: always pray & seek what God would have you
do!
Now the
Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart
from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and
teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose
consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require
abstinence from foods that God created to be received with
thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For
everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be
rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made
holy by the word of God and prayer. ...
It’s
just that as you know {or we wouldn’t be gathered here at this
forum,} in this day & age, the LAST HOURS OF THE LAST
DAYS…. well, food is not as clean & good for us as we wish
it was! Like I said last week I cannot wait to taste
REAL food at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!!
Till then? Well we get plenty of fake food and GMO laced
food (you’d be surprised how many people still are unaware of
what GMO even is!)
I’ve
got to also admit that, for the most part, what I’m getting
ready to share, I had (purposely!!) tucked far away in
my mind & was even preparing to ask a friend to lunch
tomorrow….. for a cheeseburger!!!
I
really do enjoy beef and it’s a great source of IRON, needed
for our bodies! So a few people may be blessed enough to
have the $ and room for a freezer and then know someone who
raises pure pastured beef, free of chemicals and can store it
in your freezer. Upon rereading this once again (and
cringing!) well even if my friend is available to meet
for lunch tomorrow, I’ll be ordering a salad instead!
This
is gross & disgusting and I’ll be quoting snippets from
the book “Never Be Sick Again” by Raymond Francis,
M.Sc. But I also want to tell you that “100 years
ago” /slight exaggeration!/ I worked as a “demo person”
inside grocery stores—you know, “here? Like a sample of
this sausage? or…. Cracker or coffee?…. /just whatever”
One:
I can tell you I’ve never eaten Hormel Little Sizzlers SINCE
that day! Oh my….. the BUCKETS of grease I had to pour
off those things! I literally threw up by the end of my
shift. Never want to see them or smell them or taste
them ever again. Same goes for Italian
sausage.
But
the other thing I was going to tell you is that I’d be
chatting with the guys who worked in the meat department &
occasionally comment about the beef not looking all that great
that day. He’d say, “you think that’s something?
You ought to see how we have to cut around the – oh my—chug up
alert!! Cut around the GREEN HOLES (CANCER) of the
beef!! Unbeknownst to me at the time, they
actually brought in the cow & butchered it up right in the
back room!! But “here” ~ it’s got cancer!
Let’s go ahead & feed it to the consumer anyway!!
I’m
telling you this because at first, I didn’t want to believe
the following either. Anyway, not for the weak of heart
(or stomach) but here’s the info:
· 90% of
chickens have cancer at the time of slaughter
· 80% of
pigs have pneumonia at the time of slaughter
(these
above figures can also be confirmed by a search
engine) You really think we can eat something
UNHEALTHY and then be healthy ourselves?
Cattle
fattened in feedlots are so malnourished and sick that they
require a variety of drugs just to keep them alive.
John Robbins, author of “Diet for New America” describes their
diet:
Sawdust
laced with ammonia and feathers, shredded newspaper (complete
with all the colors of toxic ink from the Sunday comics and
advertising circulars), “plastic hay”, processed sewage,
inedible tallow and grease, poultry litter, cement dust, and
cardboard scraps, not to mention the insecticides, antibiotics
and hormones. Artificial flavors and aromas are added to
trick the poor animals into eating this stuff.
Francis
continues on in his book, “Never Be Sick Again”: The
animals are not the only ones tricked. The consumer is
“tricked” into buying these make-believe foods and into
thinking that they contain the necessary nutrients required to
support healthy life.

of snippets
BTW,
for the past handful of years, I’ve not been able to cook a
roast. Others can & yay for them. And I’ve
eaten a couple spoonful’s when dining out, but I just cannot
bring myself to cook one ever again…. all thanks to something
I once read on Drudge! Just couldn’t shake that image
out of my head.
I
full well realize that the left behind world (all those left
here following the Pre-tribulation rapture) will be so
famished & starving that they’ll eat just whatever they
can get their hands on!! And after all the food’s gone,
they’ll easily start eating each other. That’s not
a pleasant thought either! The only thing we can
do is be ready, wearing our white garments (unspotted from the
world’s ways) and pray that we’ll get to go via Luke 21:36.
Tip
of the week:
Let’s say you’re on vacation & due to whatever the
circumstances are, cannot make a quick dash to the drugstore
for an itch spray to put on that mosquito bite where she just
feasted on you! (I actually like the old time potion of
baking soda mixed with water into a “paste”, far healthier
& takes the itch/sting out from mosquito and chigger
bites) Anyway: another thought!
You’ve got your toothpaste with you, don’t you?
Yep, DH loves to tease me about this’n, but I’ve long used
toothpaste in a pinch – sometimes it has baking soda in it
& even if it doesn’t, often times the mint that’s in it is
SOOTHING, the paste STICKS ONTO the bite…. Voila! No
more itching!
Speaking
of toothpaste, some 35 years ago when DH & I first met
& for many years following, he had a horrible time with a
chronic canker sores. Several dentists/doctors,
prescriptions & OTC meds later….. still had trouble with
constant recurrences!! Took years, but we finally
discovered it was his TOOTHPASTE!!!! This is why I
would never buy OTC, “popular brand” toothpastes! Too
toxic! Says right on it to not swallow or else call a
poison control center – so why on earth would we even want to
stick it in our mouths?? If it’s popular & sold OTC,
I won’t buy it. The one he & his family used to use
was 5 letters long & began with the letter, “C”…..
however, I wouldn’t use the “other C” one either! Nor,
like I say, any of the popular OTC ones. Currently he
uses Nature’s Gate….. much, MUCH healthier!! Canker
sores are a thing of the past (thank You, Lord!!) unless
he bites his cheek accidentally (pizza for instance…)
Well,
that’s all for now.
Pray
MARANATHA along with me!!
