Here’s a snippet from the blog’s explanation of its title:

“There is a natural link between religion and diet.  Spiritual health—the first concern of religion—is linked to physical health, and physical health is most influenced by diet.  No surprise then that dietary guidance is given in the first chapter of the Bible.  Adam and Eve after being given dominion over fish, fowl, and beasts, are told to make herbs and fruits their ”meat”.  (See Genesis 1:29.)

The Mormon Word of Wisdom, a canonized scripture, expands upon the counsel given to Adam and Eve, with seven rules—three prohibitions and four prescriptions, or things to do.  Here is my simplified version:

• Avoid strong drinks, meaning alcoholic beverages.

• Avoid the use of tobacco.

• Hot drinks, defined as coffee and tea, are also proscribed.

• Eat “all wholesome herbs” in their season. (Herbs are plants without woody stems, usually annuals, notably vegetables and legumes.)

• Eat “every fruit in the season thereof”.

• Be sparing in the consumption of meats.

• Eat grains, especially wheat, for they are the staff of life.”
