We all know fruits and veggies are good for you. In fact, it’s been shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancers and other chronic diseases. <BR/>Cranberries are my favorite and I highly recommend them. Cranberries aren’t your average fruit. They help cleanse and purify the body. But do you know how? They contain powerful nutrients called proanthocyanidins, thankfully referred to as PACs, which research suggests help keep certain bacteria from sticking inside the body and the PACS in cranberries are different from other fruits, which gives them more “anti-stick” potential. They also have something called antioxidants, like flavonoids and vitamin C, which helps to strengthen the immune system. In fact, cranberries have more naturally-occurring antioxidants per gram than most other common fruit.<BR/>Even though Jan makes a good point, There are scriptures to support eating meat. Cain and Able, the sacrifice of blood was the acceptable sacriice. After the flood, God brought the sacrifice and it was an animal. AND in Acts 10, God ordains the eating of animals as clean. Cruelty is not an option, but to use the Bible as an argument to be a vegan is also not an option.<BR/>I you can eat just fruits and vegetables, I applaud you and I am sure you will be healthier for it. As for me, I need more protein than that and I am allergic to nuts.

WTo bring God's Kingdom on earth shouldn't we stop supporting animal cruelty to eat animals and their products (eggs and dairy)? <BR/>"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" is part of the prayer Jesus taught us to pray.<BR/>We will be held accountable for every creature as Hebrews 4:13 says (in all creation).<BR/>Man's tradition nullifies God's laws to be kind to animals.<BR/>Please do research about this and teach your congregation the whole Gospel which is for all of the cosmos as John, Paul and others teach. <BR/>We can give thanks to God without offending him with eating turkey, ham, lobsters, etc. <BR/>Peace for all,<BR/>God's Creatures Ministry<BR/>www.Godscreaturesministry.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
