Word of Wisdom of Sorts...

I really wish that website were still there because it was really good reading - the guy had done quite a bit of research. I wish I had saved more than just a bookmark.

President Joseph Fielding Smith's wife is quoted as saying "my husband doesn't eat meat" and he felt a "disdain of meat and (a) love of vegetables." (Brigham Young University Daily Universe, May 6, 1971, p. 1). There are other examples as well including Brigham Young when he counseled the mothers to put away meats and include more vegetables in the diet of their children.

One thing he found that stunned and saddened me was that the Church apparently operates certain properties where if individuals pay a hefty fee they're allowed to go and hunt big game for sport, even to the point where they're pretty much guaranteed to bag an animal (meaning the creature has no fair chance). I've found that people seem to have interesting ideas on what the term 'stewardship' means, which is usually whatever is convenient.

The Church used to do that (canned hunting is called) but they don't do it anymore. They had lots of complaints about it, they still lease some properties for hunting purposes though.

I've read a few LDS nutrition books here and there, and so many of them really do seem to encourage less meat.
