Hi, No you definitely didn’t ruin it for me, because I have yet to read it. That’s on my list of things to do! A couple from our church has it, so I plan to see about borrowing it before buying it to see if I want to invest in it. Did you find Holy Cow online then? Hope you’re having a blessed weekend and staying toasty warm!!

Naomi, I haven’t yet found the book, Holy Cow. At least locally. I have it on my list for when I place a book order online. I have read The Maker’s Diet. Have you read it? What have you thought about it? I have to admit it wasn’t my favorite book. I guess when I read it, I didn’t learn much from it that I didn’t already know. His story is inspiring, though! What I took away from it was that if I was to follow his diet fully, I would have to buy into all the supplemental products he was selling. Perhaps this is a big generalization, so take my words with a grain of salt. The overall diet discussion is very good, but the supplements are cost-prohibitive, in my opinion. I still would recommend anyone read the book. Well, hopefully, I haven’t ruined it for you. I didn’t mean to! Love, wardeh

Hi Wardeh, just wondering if you found any info on that book? I thought of it again the other day because I just heard of another book, called The Makers Diet. Have you heard of that one?

Blessing, Naomi

It sounds to me like the book you read is much more detailed. The book I mentioned (What the Bible Says About Healthy Living) gives a pretty general overview. I would like to see if my library carries the one you mentioned — thanks for mentioning it!

Hi Wardeh. I don’t think I’ve heard of that book, I know for sure that I haven’t read it! We read the book, “Holy Cow,” the author goes into explaining how those laws for clean and unclean still apply to us, even though we are believers in Messiah. Its interesting how so many of the food colorings and additives fall under the unclean label according to the Lord’s laws that he laid out at the foundation of the world. Amazing how through time those things have been lost leading us to the situation we are in now with the food crisis worldwide. I’ll have to check into finding the book that you mentioned, my curiosity is peaked now! Have a blessed day, its a beautiful one here in Northern Indiana!

Hi, Naomi! Thank you for writing. We have only briefly studied the Levitical laws, in the context of reading the book, “What the Bible Says About Healthy Living.” We generally follow the dietary guidelines because we feel as you that the Lord meant them for our health.

Hey, great site! I am learning more about feeding my family in the ways that you have described. I appreciate the fact that you chose to simply look to what Yahweh has created for us to consume, instead of arguing all the scientific points of recent studies, etc. Very awesome! I want to ask you a question, have you ever done research into the laws that were given by Yahweh to his people in Leviticus? It makes for a very interesting study if you are going from a Genesis perspective as to what you consume for food. Mainly I mean that it has caused me to come to the understanding that the Father only meant for us to eat those animals that He deemed clean in Leviticus, both then and now. Its something to ponder!! Send me an email if you have any insight on these thoughts!

I just discovered your web page yesterday by accident (on DS). I love what you have to say. My dream is that our family will be able to move in this direction, eating whole foods… lots of fresh veggies out of our garden etc.. I always thought I’d try canning to be able to enjoy things year round. You say that this is not the best thing to do… can you explain this to me a little? I’ve never heard that before? I wouldn’t mind freezing things but what do you freeze in? I try to stay away from plastics here…

Thanks. I’m glad I came across this information. I know God intends for us to stumble accross things sometime!

Hi, Robin! The reason that canning is not the best mode of preservation is because the foods get cooked at high temps and lose many nutrients. Freezing, on the other hand, tends to just hold that food with a pretty stable nutrient base, although some nutrients are lost this way, too. For freezing, I use big plastic bags at times and I also use glass jars. I would like to get away from plastic and I am slowly doing so, but only as I acquire glass tools over time at thrift stores or as hand-me-downs. There are canning jars with straight sides (they don’t curve in at the top) and they are considered safe for freezing and/or canning, according to the manufacturer. I also use the other “just for canning” jars, too. I am glad you found my site — I hope you’ll come back again. And let me know if I can help you with anything else.

I’m posting this question here because I can’t seem to find a better spot. But I have a dilemma. My mother in law is always trying to give my son candy. I feel like the bad guy because I keep telling her not to give him any (or at least not very much), and I know it makes her feel bad. She’s a super sweet lady, and is only trying to make him happy. But he’s only 14 months old…he’s not even asking for candy yet! I think giving treats is her way of showing love. What should I do?

Hi, Erin! I will email you soon about this question.
