Roberta, you should check out Hallelujah Acres. Just google it. It will come up, it is a great resource for a biblical diet...

Yeah, finances are the main thing that prevent me from being on the diet that I should be on and would like to be on. I eat as healthy as I can. However, hot dogs are 4 packages for $5 and fairly filling when you're feeding seven people. I'm pretty sure that what is in hot dogs breaks about 90% of the OT's dietary laws.

Covaan- I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. However we do know that fat intake is not good for us. I wish that I followed the dietary laws of the Bible. I'm slowly working towards doing that. It is a healthier lifestyle.

Oh, no problem, Roberta. I was asking about the sacrificial system and whether all fats were off limits after the sacrifices or just the fats designated to be sacrificed.

But with regard to eating kosher today, it is a great way to eat all right!

And thank you, Popsi, for the site -- I'll look into it.

I understand! That is partially the reason I haven't started the diet on there, because indeed it is an expensive way to feed many. I was thinking about it the other day though. And if you think about cutting everything out that you eat apart from what is truly healthy, and you replace it with what is, I think that perhaps the amount would even out... I am not sure though, just a thought!

Sometimes it does balance out. However, out of seven people in the house, only two of us care about what we put into our bodies. Sometimes it's fun to eat stuff that isn't healthy. If it wasn't, then fastfood places would go out of business.

Sometimes a hot dog just tastes good. Even though I ate the hot dog, after sundown on Friday, I'm pretty sure I'm still kosher with Him.

Years ago, I ate a lot of things that were nonkosher. Initially, I wasn't sure it as applicable to me. later, when I wanted to go kosher, I didn't because I thought it would be hopeless to try -- I didn't my husband would tolerate it. Oddly enough, HE was the one who asked me why I wasn't eating kosher! Through our conversation, I discovered that he was more than willing! We immediately went kosher. Although he had two or three plates of shrimp at a restaurant way back then, he quit that. We are now a kosher home, and I love it. It can be a challenge when out of the house.

Well, caffeine is kosher -- it's just not good for us.

Question,

What is the difference between Kosher and nonKosher?

I'm still addicted to my caffeine. In the form of soda, which is really bad for us.

There are simply certain meats that we don't go near, and that's basically it, although there are several levels of kosher thought. The Bible simply says not to eat meat from certain fowl (that would include blackbirds, vultures, emus, ostriches, and more), not to eat meat from mammals that don't have divided hooves (can eat cows, lamb, deer, etc.), and don't eat any seafood/water beasties that don't have fins and scales (can eat tuna, mahimahi, trout, salmon, etc. but not crab, lobster, shrimp, shark, etc.). Kosher is mainly about meat and what meats other foods come in contact with. All fruit and vegies are kosher unless they come in contact with a nonkosher meat.

I need to start taking care of my body better. Really I do...Especially having scoliosis, we'll see...

Night-night Abiyah

If God be for you, who can be against you!

My mom is an SDA and she follows their diet pretty closely. I pretty much like the diet that she follows, except for the "fake meat" like vegan meatballs. I'm pretty sure those aren't kosher.

Popsi! You have scoliosis. I hope it isn't very bad.

Denim, Although we eat meat and know that some foods are not healthy, I have tried some of those vegetarian fake-meats. Some of them aren't bad, but I really have to be a label-reader. We should all be that, though. And they are tricky about ingredients. They even purposely put bug parts in processed foods, and they can get by with not calling piggy stuff "piggy stuff" by calling it something else. And that fake crab and fake lobster? It has real nonkosher juices mixed in. And those apple-chicken sausages? They are in pork casings. It goes on and on.

And the vegies? Well, we all know what they are doing to our vegies.

Ewww about the bug parts in food, I've heard of that!

I've had scoliosis pretty much my whole life. The nurses at my school caught it when I was around 5 years of age, but they told my parents that I would probably just grow out of it and so my parents took no efforts and trying to get it corrected until it was a little too late. When I was in 6th grade it became pretty bad, not really for me, just the way it looked to everyone else. You can not really tell I have it unless I bend over or wear really tight clothing, and I try not to do much of either. Anyways, when I was 12 the Doctors told me(an athletic, SPORTS loving, AVID SPORTS playing person) that they were surprised I was walking. It's all God and His goodness with it. So they gave me a brace at 12, which I wore off and on. Really, I was supposed to wear it all the time, but I just couldn't do it. It constricted me too much, but now I wish I would have. I grew out of it eventually. But now at 21, I am an inch shorter then I was when I was 12 and just deal with pain if I do too much standing in one place or too much bending down. Most of the reason that it has gotten worse for me is because in the beginning of 2007 I was working at McDonalds in Missouri. I would work in the back and just do my best to be the best worker that I could be. I loved it! Most people wouldn't have, but that is where God had me. Anyways, I took on way too much for my back. Was on my feet about 45-46 hours a week because most times I would work full time and then it also took me walking a mile and a half to get to work! So I did a number on my back there.

Sometimes I worry about what is going to happen with it as I get older. Most people think that I should get the surgery, but I believe that God can heal. The surgery is dangerous and you can go away from it paralyzed. So I don't know. I guess we'll see...The other day I was trying to do flips in the yard. And they kind of weren't good for it, and I got pain for that...Running hills is also way too painful.

Sometimes I get angry that I have it, but one of the main reasons I think God allowed me to have it was so that I wouldn't join the military. Sigh. I would love to be in the military, but my back won't allow it.

Now that I've written a book I need to go get ready for church.

Hope you get much rest Abiyah. Have a good day!

Wow, Popsi. Thank you for telling me. I know, too, that G-d can heal and have experienced His direct hand in healing (arthritic knees at age 25- 27 or so), and I also know that he gives some doctors wisdom and knowledge to help us in the process (elbow knocked out of the socket, gall bladder surgery). With prayer, you will know which route to take on this, I am sure. But I'd watch that turning flips!!

I had scoliosis, too, when I was young, but mine was very mild and I really did grow out of it. My mom used to tease me and call me "crooked." Thanks for telling your story, Popsi. I'll pray for you as you deal with the scoliosis.

If you're only 21, you don't need to be feeling old. You're less than half my age (44), and I'm not old, so you can't be!

Not necessarily. You could wear the sox in May so as to keep people on their toes (no pun intended) and to keep yourself unpredictable. No sin in that.
