CHAPTER 19
EAT ONE MEAL at the end of every
24 hours and nothing between, if
you are not sick. If you are
sick, that is different.
Sickness takes away strength.
Therefore, you have to eat
something like food to replace
it. But, if you are well and
want to stay well, eat only one
meal a day. And, eat good food.
Regardless to the variety of
foods that which is best for you
to eat, and eat it. Do not try
eating all the different types
of foods, lest you will be found
dead one morning in your bed.
And, try and eat fresh foods and
not stale foods. Cook it done,
and not half done. Just done and
that is all, not too done that
all of the taste is out of it
through cooking.
STAY AWAY FROM eating a lot
of meats and do not eat too much
fish that is weighing from 20 to
50 pounds. You should eat fish
weighing a half pound to ten
pounds. And, be sure not to eat
the scavenger fish that lives
off of filth. Do not eat a fish
that sucks its food, but eat one
that swallows its food whole. Do
not eat fish that look like
animals, with heads like
animals, nor forefronts built
like an animal. Do not eat such
fish as eel, which should not
really be referred to as a fish,
but as a water snake. And, never
eat slimy oysters, lobsters,
crabs, clams, shrimps and
snails.
FOR YOUR OWN good health, and
for the sake of the Law of Allah
(God), do not think of going
near a piece of carcass of the
swine (hog). Do not burn your
hearts and brains up with
alcoholic liquids.
DO NOT EAT field peas, black
eyed peas, brown peas, yellow
peas nor red peas. Do not eat
the great big lima beans nor the
little lima beans. The only
kidney-like bean should you eat,
as Allah (God) Taught me, is the
navy bean. There are the white
ones and the red ones. You may
eat them. Do not eat too many
green greens. They are not good
for you. Especially the collard
greens and the cabbage sprouts.
Do not eat them. There are
plenty of herbs and vegetables
that you can eat other than
these. But, seek mostly the
white ones, such as white-head
cabbage and white cauliflower.
YOU MAY SAY this type of
food, that I am mentioning to
you, is high. But life is high
and keep it, you had better eat
the things that will maintain
that high life. You and I live
only but once. Eat the good
things of life and think good
things. Do not fill the brains
up with evil thoughts. Think
good things and then you will be
good. I hope that you will take
this for your own sake. How to
eat to live.
