No one is an island. It s not that the Church or any one person should dictate to you your diet or other particulars of your lifestyle. The purpose of this site is to share with you what I have learned and choices I have made for my own life. Lean meats and dairy products are optional. You can still choose to consume animal products as part of a plant-based diet, so long as plants comprise the foundation of your meals.
Vegetarianism is encouraged, but by no means dogmatically essential.
Buying organic is expensive, but advantageous. Supplementation with high-quality supplements is also advised. However, I will say that the Standard Western Diet is generally too high in fat and protein. God designed our bodies to run on primarily clean-burning complex carbohydrates. High fat, high protein eating styles displace needed carbohydrates, plus the excess fat and protein is in itself destructive.
