Question #1:
In Leviticus, there are several dietary laws..... the most famous being the prohibition of pork, and shellfish.
many christians tell me that these were necessary because of the possibility of food poisoning and Trichinosis. These were given as wisdom from god and are an example of god wanting people to avoid getting any of the nasty diseases he created.
but these are no longer observed by christians due to Peters 'parable like vision' regarding allowing gentiles to enter the church without becoming jews first (acts 10)
This is used to support - according to many christians - the idea that the old dietary laws are done away with.
so....
IF you believe that the levitical laws were a wise idea in 1400BC....
and IF you believe that god changed his dietary laws in the middle years of the first century AD
then what advances in food storage, or preparation, caused such a radical change in diet
why do christians bring up 'Trichinosis' as a good reason for leviticus, but forget about it in Acts?
why the change?

Question #3:
Hello,
I was invited to a dinner party recently and I want to inform the host of the dinner party that there are certain things I cannot eat. I cannot eat ANY carbs at all, so no pastas or breads or pretzels (diet), I can't eat beef, chicken, or pork (no meats!!), I also cannot eat cabbage or anything that LOOKS like a cabbage because it makes me seriously ill (this includes lettuce). Also, I can't eat anything shaped like a shrimp because it disgusts me and I can get seriously ill. Also, I don't like the smell of coffee so is it rude to ask her not to make any coffee after dinner? For dessert, I ONLY like macadamia nut cheesecake cupcakes.
How do I inform her of my dietary needs without seeming too pushy? I don't want to be rude, but I certainly cannot have these things.
Question #4:
I 've heard a professor say that dietary fibre is removed from processed foods in order to increase shelf life. How does dietary fibre cause stuff to go off?
Question #5:
I'm a new vegetarian (lacto-ovo) for 3 weeks now, and I don't even desire meat anymore so its not of temptation to me any longer.
I have a question, I'm not the preachy type of vegetarian b/c its a pointless waste of time, but what do I do if I go to other people's houses for dinner who are raving carnivores? I mean I don't want to be rude nor a burden to anyone, I don't think its fair for a host to be piled on with everyones dietary needs, but I also feel its unfair to be forced to put carcasses (yuck) in my body. How do I politely refuse meat being served to me?
Is it rude to let the host know ahead of time that I am a vegetarian (I feel like I'm placing demands if I do that), or is it tacky to just bring my own food?
I don't want to insult the host but I also don't want dead things in my body.
Thank you but the carnivore comment was sarcasm, I know humans aren't carnivores I basically meant people who eat lots of meat
Question #6:
I can't eat gluten and it's a bit of a hassle, but if I eat it I get quite sick.
I find when going out or going to people's place's houses it's difficult. I don't always know if food is going to be served and I don't want to mention it if food wasn't going to be served in the first place and then it's awkward.
What do I do?
Question #7:
You honor him with your lets, but your hearts are far from him. You don't honor him with your beliefs or your words, you honor Jesus with your actions.
JESUS WAS THE LAMB THAT WAS SACRIFICED SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP SACRIFICING ANIMALS TO GAIN REPENTANCE. His blood was innocent yet freeing us from the sacrificial law. Read below for scriptures.
Hebrew 10:4-5
"For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, "You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer."
That is the only law he did away with. That is grace. He saved us from killing more animals and made it easy for us to gain repentance. If you read the Old testament, you would get a very detailed description of what Moses and the children of Israel had to do to gain repentance.
To this day, we are to follow the Dietary Law, The Clean Laws, and the Commandments.
John 7:19
"Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me."
Stop practicing Pagan holidays, cause Jesus's birthday was never in the Bible. NEVER. Man made that holiday up. And Jesus's birthday was in the summer. Need more proof?
Luke 2:8-14
"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Does this even make any sense? Why would Shepard be tending there sheep in the winter? It was in the summer. The Catholic church made it during the winter because of pagan practices.
If any of you even picked up the Bible and read, you would know all of this. Instead, you all just pick out certain scriptures to justify your wrong doings. And you don't care! You claim to know God, but in reality, you know nothing about him.
God wants us to fear him, and love him. Doesn't anyone get it?
Exactly, Owned by scriptures and God.
Question #8:
I took him to the vet and she has hopes he will survive. He is eating well, pooping and peeing. He cries quite a bit. He weighs less then 4 oz and his brothers are 7 oz and 11 oz. He is very tiny and fragile. I am worried. I am feeding him a formula of egg white, goats milk, goats milk yogart and corn syrup. Also giving him a high calorie dietary supplement from the Vet. Any advise would be welcomed.
Question #9:
A work colleague's husband is in the hospital with leukemia, recently diagnosed. The family is small, consisting of father, mother, and a recent-college-graduate daughter who's living at home while she starts her career. There's also a son who's a freshman in college a few hours away, so he may come for visits. Some of us wanted to support them by offering (among other helps) the traditional thing where people prepare some meals to take to the family to save them the trouble of cooking or the expense of eating out. However, no one else on the staff is Jewish, so none of us have kosher kitchens in which to prepare the meals.
I think it's fairly simple to find RECIPES that will meet kosher dietary requirements, but as a child I had a best friend whose family was so Orthodox that the only way she could eat at our house was to have parve foods that didn't require any of our utensils or cookware, served with a set of plastic dishes and utensils that we set apart for that purpose so they weren't in danger of contact with non-kosher food. I would hate to put our colleague in a spot where she's accepting food people think she can eat, but that in reality she can't trust to be kosher. Certainly one can give gift cards for kosher restaurants or grocery stores, but I wondered if there's still a way we could properly prepare food ourselves. I'd ask her, but with all that she's got on her mind, it could turn our attempt at lifting her burden into yet another burden. :) I thought about getting inexpensive wooden spoons and aluminum pans to mix together something that didn't involve other utensils. Suggestions?
Question #10:

Question #13:
I've started taking up long distance running and was reading that for proper form it's good to build muscle. So I was thinking of investing in a protein powder (for women). Any reccomendations? And does anyone know why its more efficient to take protein powder compared to dietary protein? Is it just the conveience factor or does it actually help build muscle faster?
Question #14:
The rituals that some people still perform in this day and age in the name of God amaze me.
Jewish circumcision, Regulations about our food and drink, Islam Forbidding Pork, Kosher dietary laws, Ramadan, Lent, etc. all are totally man-made practices from long ago. Do they think God really cares what, and if you eat certain things and what a man does with his pecker?
If they follow some rituals, then why not all like - Animal sacrifices – (Deuteronomy 17:1, Numbers 7:15-88, Leviticus 1:5-15, 8:14-32, Exodus 24:5-8
Are most just following a tradition or are they really just that ignorant?
Question #15:
Then why do all human cultures, as well as monkeys and apes, share the same basic moral codes? The evidence is encyclopaedic that basic morality (do not harm others; help others; abhorrence of lies and cheating; value of charity, honesty, good parenting, etc.) is hard wired into our genes, to strengthen social bonds to increase our chance of survival and reproduction. How can anyone possibly say that morality is subjective? Note, I'm talking about moral behavior, not social conventions such as sexual expression, dietary regime or worshiping fantasy beings.
Thanks wayward soul; I would add that if you think you do need threats (of Hell) to enforce good behavior then maybe your own sense of goodness is not that deep.
Cactus--murder, universally agreed that it is immoral; same with cheating or deceit
Question #16:
what exactly are water pills and can they be used as a dietary supplement?
Question #17:
What kind of research method is it?
Hypothetical Study 1
Researchers recruited 50 young adults (ages 18-25) who had recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, 50 who had recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, as well as 50 non-diabetic young adults, ensuring a comparable distribution of age, race/ethnicity, and gender across samples. They asked all of these participants as well as the participants’ parents to complete a self-report measure asking questions about the participant’s dietary and exercise habits between ages 15 and the present. They also requested participants’ medical records indicating their body weight over time. Researchers found that the group with Type 2 diabetes was significantly more likely to have been overweight than either of the other groups as early as age 15. They also reported significantly higher levels of unhealthy eating habits as well as significantly lower levels of physical activity across this whole time period. Young adults with Type 1 diabetes did not differ significantly from the non-diabetic group across any of these measures.
Hypothetical Study 2
Researchers recruited 100 obese college students to participate in a weight-loss study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group participated in a didactic course teaching them about healthy eating habits, exercise, and other types of self-care. The second group received the same training and also participated in a weight-loss support group. The third group was placed on a waiting list to participate in the training until after completion of the study. Researchers found that students in both the group that received didactic training only and the group that received both didactic training and a support-group lost significantly more weight throughout the course of the study than did those in the wait-list control group, but that they did not differ significantly from each other. However, at 6-month follow-up, they found that 90% of those in the group that had only received didactic training had regained the weight they had lost, whereas only 50% of those in the group that had also participated in the support-group experienced similar weight gain.
Hypothetical Study 3
Researchers asked 100 high school students to complete weekly self-report measures over the course of a year, asking questions about sleeping habits as well as general health questions. They examined the relationship between the number of hours of sleep students got on average and the number of days they were ill throughout the year. Researchers found that students’ average number of hours of sleep per night was inversely related to the average number of days they reported being ill throughout the year. However, students did not seem to experience additional health benefits by sleeping more than 8 hours per night.

Question #18:
All are welcome to answer (except dismissive atheists whose 2 cents I don't care for) but this scenario involves a Jewish situation - if someone keeps kosher dietary laws and goes to eat at another Jew's home who serves something that isn't marked with the kosher symbol on the box but he goes over all the ingredients and there is no meat/dairy mixture so he says it's ok to eat, should the strict kosher observer eat it to avoid offending the other one or turn down the meal completely and let the other Jew eat alone and say it's not kosher enough for their standard?
Well this situation did arise otherwise I would not be asking and those who are so perfect as to think such imperfection in others exist are free to keep your 2 cents too.
