What food does Allah (God)
suggest? He suggests the food
that is good for us and does not
make us ill. Food that is for
human consumption and not for
animals.
Never before have we gone so
far astray. The European white
race, blessed with the privilege
of eating the best food the
earth provides, has taught us to
eat the worst (divinely
prohibited) food. We eat all the
time, three and four times a
day. This is enough to wear out
the intestines of a brass
monkey.
Eat a single meal a day, no
matter what anyone says. If your
doctor says that you should eat
more than one meal a day, ignore
him with a smile, and eat only
once a day. If he tells you he
eats three meals a day, tell him
that his length of life is about
the same as his patients. Then,
tell the doctor to try eating
one meal a day.
The more idle our stomachs
are, the longer they will last.
The more we tax our stomach, the
sooner it wears out. We all try
to live as long as we can
because nature never teaches us
that we should not try to live.
We do not have a nature that
teaches us to die, or teaches of
life somewhere else.
No matter how staunch a
believer the Christian may be in
a life after the grave, if he
gets sick, he sends for the
doctor. He prays to stay on here
and not to go to the unknown.
To live a long time, Allah,
in the Person of Master Fard
Muhammad, has taught me life
must begin with the type of food
that will prolong life. We have
been talking about bread. There
are people so poor they have no
choice, and there are some so
rich who still have no choice.
Whole wheat bread, cooked
thoroughly, is the best bread.
It should be ground very fine.
It can be ground almost as fine
as its white kernel. Never eat
corn bread. As I said, rye bread
is all right for the hardworking
man. Even at that, it should be
cooked twice.
The Christian civilization
has taught the so-called Negro
slave to eat freshly baked
bread, white biscuits or white
rolls, just out of the oven, and
it scorns old bread, which is
better for the stomach than
freshly baked bread or cakes.
There are many foods we would
like to teach you not to eat,
but at present so many of you
cannot avoid eating them.
We must prepare and grow our
own food, because this is a
highly commercialized world.
They graft a lot of food, and
some of this food is not good
for our stomachs.
Soy bean flour is very rich,
and not good for our stomachs.
Our stomachs are too delicate
for soy bean flour, therefore,
leave those beans alone. The
animals, especially cattle and
hogs, love them. Grind them up
and they will eat them. They are
very high in protein. The lima
bean is another large bean
advertised by the devil for you
to eat. which will almost burst
the lining of the stomach and
intestines of a Texas bull. They
said "that one is good for the
nigger." Do not eat the smaller
ones, either, the ones they call
"baby lima beans" (baby belly
busters).
Pastries and cakes -- the
kind made with crusts of white
flour and sweetened with white
sugar, so sweet you can still
taste them the next day, are not
good for our stomachs. All this
hastens you to the graveyard
sooner than you would like to
go. We should eat fruit and
fruit pies. I love that little
black blueberry pie;
huckleberry, as we call it in
the South. But do not make it
with white sugar or crusts of
white flour. Use brown sugar and
whole wheat flour for your pie
and cobbler crusts.
Apples are better when eaten
raw than when made into pies.
This goes for pears, peaches and
bananas. All fruit is better for
you raw than cooked. When fruit
is raw, we get the benefit of
its natural vitamins. If
possible, never eat cooked
fruit.
If you must eat meat, always
eat the cleanest, such as
healthy and tuberculosis free
beef. The lamb is the best. Most
beef is too coarse for our
stomachs. The lamb is a much
finer grained meat.
Eat small young pigeons
(squabs) which have never flown
from their nests. Do not eat any
bird that has been free to fly
around and look for its own
food. This is the teaching of
Allah to me. Chickens are not
fit to eat. You have to nurse
them so carefully to keep them
away from filth.
If you would like to find
good food, such as lamb, beef or
even chicken, if you are a
Muslim, buy it from the strictly
Orthodox Jew. Be certain it is
an Orthodox kosher market,
because some Jews eat the pig.
Orthodox Jews are excellent in
protecting their health, even
spiritually trying to do and eat
like their prophet Musa (Moses)
taught them through the Divine
teachings of Allah. If you
respect yourselves as Muslims,
the spiritual Orthodox Jew will
respect you. Of course, no one
will respect you unless you
respect yourself.
Do not buy the Christians'
ready prepared ground meats, or
any ready ground meat. Buy the
quality meats that you like, and
have them ground by the kosher
butchers, through their meat
grinders, because they do not
have the pig near their shops.
They are like us, they hate the
divinely Prohibited flesh. If
you must eat rice please brown
it thoroughly in your oven or on
top of your stove with a little
butter or Oil to keep it from
Sticking. Keep stirring it
vigorously. Remember, eat only
one meal, once every 24 hours.
