Thanks for joining us. Today, we are discussing what the Old Testament says about food. Next week, we have a 7 AM breakfast reservation at the New Testament. 

On this topic, the Bible says quite a lot because serving and glorifying Him with our lives requires sustenance. However, no matter the Bible topic, there is always a relationship with the Lord. So, keep reading. But first, if you are wondering how this topic came about, here is the answer. 

On Wednesday, I “happened” to see a link to a New York Times article titled “Eating Healthy? No, They’re Eating Biblically.” The subhead read: “A diet inspired by the Bible has found new audiences online in the Make America Healthy Again era.” 

Intrigued by the headline, a nanosecond before clicking the link, my divine “Assignment Editor” sent me a news flash to write about food in the Bible. Then I perused the article, which is basically about eating boring, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, since super-sinful Doritos were millennia away from being consumed.

A few quotes caught my eye from Kayla Bundy, a woman featured in the article, who said, “I had never really thought to look to the Bible for a recipe book.”

Bundy revealed she started “studying scripture from that lens of noticing what they are eating.” This quote is deep. “Sin entered into the world through food, and Satan doesn’t stop there. Food, for me, is really like a weapon of how I can fight back.” And know that Kayla makes money “selling a $28 digital guide to biblical superfoods, as well as coaching sessions that start around $700 for a month,” while living in Bali.........
