How long did it take?

Before factory farming, animals grazed openly, lived humanely until slaughter. Our current system, for the most part, is abusive to animals and produces meat that is harmful to eat.

Sister, I don't eat factory farmed food. Didn't do it before, don't do it now. The Bible is pretty explicit on taking care of our animals. We are told that the wicked mistreat animals, Proverbs 12:10. The Rabbinical kosher livestock is horribly treated, done in a way so the animal bleeds out as they animal dies. Again, forgive me, I still don't understand what you are trying to say about meat and animal sacrifices. How does that prohibit the consumption of meat? If that is NOT what you are saying, then please forgive me.

Jesus ate meat. What we know (biblically) was lamb, and fish. He ate figs, and bread, (sopping, dipping, leavened and unleavened. Drank, water, and wine. He was a omnivore. Like posted before, ancient people ate plant life seasonally, animals were available year round.

I don't eat out. I also cut nearly all processed foods from my diet, opting instead to cook from scratch.

When I was diagnosed as a diabetic(I had a really poor diet) I was lying on a bed in the ER with a blood sugar level in excess of 800. The Dr's said I would have been dead in a matter of hours. My brain was being affected because of the ketoacidosis. That put a fear in me to turn my life completely around and to stick with it. I won't say it was easy but it was necessary and I feel better than I have in years.

Bro Benincasa:

My point was that before factory farming people ate meat that was humanely treated, free range and grass fed. This was good.

..........

Today most livestock is mistreated, living in horrible unclean conditions, pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, carrying disease like salmonella. This is bad.

...........

My objection is against current inhumane and unhealthy farming practices.

.............

I personally choose to eat a mostly plant based diet supplemented with wild caught fish and free range eggs . . . . . This has nothing whatsoever do with the question of interpreting Genesis 9. It's two separate subjects.

I agree, factory farms are insane and inhumane. I have been raising chickens ,and turkeys for years. The are grazing birds, and their eggs are the best I don't kill my animals. You can't eat something your children have named.

Tell me about this eating just twice a day, Bro Benincasa.
How long have you been doing that?
Is that like the intermittent fasting I’ve heard about?
What’s your purpose with it?

I eat breakfast and then later in the day eat dinner. I don't snack, because of my carnivore diet I don't get hungry until later. I eat before 6, and when I sleep I sleep like a baby. If you want to call that intermittent fasting, I don't think that's what people are talking about.
