Gods laws of health and nutrition - where in Scipture?
musicman:
I've heard that the slaughtering practices of pigs can contaminate the meat with adrenalin. This is because of the severe termoil the animals go through as their throat is cut but they remain alive (sure, they go into shock but that's probably after they suffer). I saw a show that may have one favoring PETA temporarily (even though they're a bunch of kooks). I think animal suffering should be eliminated at slaughter houses.

Hi! musicman
How ghastly! Do they really have their throats cut? I always thought the method used in slaughterhouses was to have the head in a sort of stock and then a sort of hammer blow in the area between the eyes which instantly killed them. Something similar to the method used by some African native tribes using a large stone.
Sure puts me off meat this does, so bad luck chickens.
God bless you brother in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.

Actually, it might be that they slice them straight down their mid section, spilling their guts out onto the floor. I saw this in a documentary. The pigs are hanging upside down (still alive) cut down the middle, begin raisin hell and shaking.
Sick stuff!!

The ways that man has come up with to raise and butcher God's creatures for food is very sickening. You should watch a chicken video as well. They are raised so that they cannot even walk. The antibiotics and steroids and growth hormones that our conventional meat is injected with is why little girls are having periods at 10. Our dairy is also filled with growth hormone.
My dh used to be a Meat Market Manager at a major grocery chain. He tells stories of cutting huge tumors out of beef before they cut it into steaks, etc.
I believe that meat is healthy for us in smaller quantities and organically grown. I am horrified at how the animals in conventional farms are housed and treated and killed. I don't think God is happy about it.
And a lot of fish is full of mercury so you have to be careful there as well. :-\
This is why we buy organic as much as we can. For health reasons and for the animal's sakes.
OBrenda:
Yikes!
Was that pork video for real? Tumors...Ughhh!
When you really think about the concept of eating & consuming anything,...it can be distressing.
Why even eat cute baby carrots?
I'm serous I understand where the American Indians developed their reverence to the food they eat.
Why does something have to die in order for me to live?
Sounds like there may be a parable in there maybe?
I think I'll skip dinner,
