"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine."
This is probably a very simple question :) But I have always wondered about it.
Is this part to be taken literally? Because if so; not many of us actually follow this part of the Word of Wisdom, do we? My family eats meat all the time.
Should we basically be vegetarians, besides sometimes - in cold and famine? That's what it's saying, isn't it?
Same with grains? "14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth; 15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger."
If someone wanted to follow the Word Of Wisdom to the teeth, what can they eat!? Fruits and Veggies? :)
