Chapter 32
We should not be asking
questions about what kind of
foods to eat as much as we
should be trying to eat one meal
a day. This is where good health
and the prolongation of life
come from. Good health and the
prolongation of life come from
abstaining from filling our
stomachs too frequently with
food of any kind -- good or bad.
Of this I can assure you from
self-experience.
If we keep food going into
our stomachs only once every 24
hours or 48 hours, and do not
get the foolish idea that this
cannot be done, then we can
train our stomachs to eat once a
week and our stomachs will not
call for food more than once a
week. This has been tried. If we
could eat one meal a week, we
could live as long as
Methuselah.
We can get away from eating
animal flesh and all kinds of
scavenger sea foods. Do not eat
large fish that weigh over 50
pounds -- such as canned tuna.
Sometimes this canned tuna comes
from a fish that weighs nearly a
thousand pounds or more. Do not
eat halibut, catfish, or carp.
There is a cheap fish called
buffalo (white buffalo) that you
can eat. But do not eat any
stale fish if you can help it.
Even fish is not very good
for us, due to their animal-like
instincts in the water. But we
eat them, and it is not a sin to
eat them (edible fish).
Many of the bass fish that
are found in lakes, rivers, and
running stream water are good to
eat. White fish, channel trout
(which is better), river trout
and most perch are good to eat.
You may eat fish that weigh from
one and a half to four or five
pounds.
We were reared on the animal
flesh that was the
divinely-prohibited flesh (the
hog). We must not eat or put our
hands on the carcass of the hog,
or sit around a place where it
is being slaughtered or cooked.
We should not even get the odor
of it in our nostrils. It is a
sin to deliberately stand and
smell it being slaughtered or
cooked. The devil did this harm
to you and me and to the people
all over the earth. Of course,
we cannot blame him for doing
this, because he was not created
to do righteousness, anyway. Do
not think hard of them for
anything they do or teach you to
do, because they are just doing
their job. Nature has made them
to be as they are. I pray Allah
that He will remove them from
the planet earth, so they will
not deceive and misguide people
from the right way.
Eat only one meal a day and
do not take food between meals,
unless you are sick. A person
that is sick and weak is
excluded from the above said
time of eating.
Remember, do not eat those
ugly horse beans that you have
been eating (lima beans, field
peas, etc). Eat only small navy
beans. They are white and pink
in color. There are also large
beans of the same color, but do
not eat the great big beans --
eat the small ones. Cook them
thoroughly. Feed them to your
children.
Do not eat freshly baked
cakes. Give them a day to dry
out, after baking. Do not ever
hurry bread to bake, because it
is better for us if it has been
baked twice.
Stay away from eating fried
foods. Do not make a habit of
filling your stomach with aged
cheese. Eat cream cheese as much
as possible, it is better for
your digestive system.
Stay away from eating all
meat and vegetables that are
canned in metal cans as much as
possible. Sometimes we are
forced to eat them because we do
not have any other. Try to get
your food canned in jars; or
while the food is in season, buy
it and can it in glass jars
yourself. If you eat a vegetable
meal, try to get fresh
vegetables, if you can purchase
them from a market.
Remember to eat one meal a
day, regardless to your type of
work. You can live on one meal a
day. This will help keep your
doctor away from your door. Of
course, eating one meal every
two days or three days is even
better, but you are not going to
apply yourself to eating once
every two or three days, so try
and eat only one meal every 24
hours. Make a habit of this and
you will feel better and have
fewer ailments.
