HOW TO EAT TO LIVE is one of
the number two Blessings that
Allah (God) Whom came in the
Person of Master Fard Muhammad
To Whom Praises are due forever
Has Brought to us. HOW TO EAT TO
LIVE is the thing that everyone
wants to know. Doctors who even
study in order to learn what to
teach their patients on how to
live, they wind up living about
the same number of years that
their patients live. This goes
to show that there is something
wrong somewhere.
ALMIGHTY God, the Best Knower
and the Wisest of Them all, did
not teach me to eat a great
variety of foods. Just common
simple foods is what He dwelt
upon, and finally he Said to me
that bread and milk was enough
and that it was the best of
foods.
THE fact about it, milk is
our first food -- milk from our
mother’s breast. It used to be,
but pride has taken away from
the baby the milk that belonged
to him -- the milk from his
mother’s milk is better than the
milk of a beast or cows’ milk,
for feeding the baby.
I lost a little nephew once,
after my sister died, my tried
to rear the baby on canned milk.
We had no cow. That canned sweet
milk constipated and killed that
baby, so when I married, I told
my wife I did not want her to
try to rear her children on
canned milk, and she agreed with
me. She nursed her babies from
her breast.
A baby nursed from its
mother’s breast will love its
mother more than the baby fed
from the bottle. He loves the
bottle. When you feed the baby
cow and other milk when it is in
its infancy like that, the baby
will be easy to be led by the
animal. And if he knew that it
was the animal or cattle’s milk
that is being fed to him, he
will love that cattle instead of
its mother, because any young
will follow after that which
feeds him. This is why the baby
sometimes loves its nurse more
than it loves its mother. It is
because the baby’s nurse feeds
and cares for it.
IN this evil world, which is
guilty of practicing every known
evil, it does not teach you to
practice to eat the right food.
Notice, the white race has all
kinds of varieties of foods to
eat. It would kill dogs if you
changed his diet to that which
the white race eats. Soon you
would have a dead dog.
JUST try giving the dog a lot
of cakes and pies. Try and feed
him walnuts, peanuts and all
kinds of nuts. You will soon
have no dog....You may say, "My
dog eats peanut butter." No dog
likes to eat a food that he
cannot clean out of his mouth
and into his stomach, quickly.
Peanut butter is almost like
glue. The dog has to hard a time
getting the peanut butter out of
its teeth.
AS I have said to you
heretofore, that the reason the
white race eats nuts it is due
to them practicing eating this
type of food four-thousand
(4,000) years ago, when they
were in the cave, before Moses
brought them out of the cave.
CORN BREAD, Allah Taught me,
should be cooked three or four
times before we eat it. He Said
to me, that it is best not to
eat it at all. Never eat fresh
bread, Brother. Bread just out
of the oven is not good for you
and met to eat. Let it stay over
a day, at least and let it dry
out. You should toast bread and
almost burn it through.
Regardless to what you do in the
way of browning it, it will
swell up in your stomach.
FISH is a better food, if you
eat the better fish. The flesh
of the fish comes out of another
world. This makes it better for
us in this world. Any animal or
beast that is out here eating
the same food that we eat, we
should not eat him, because his
flesh is too hard for our flesh
to digest. All of our food in
the way of meat should come from
the sea, ocean, river or lakes,
and not from four-footed animals
that are walking around here and
eating almost the same things
that we are eating.
STAY well, eat simple foods
and live a long time. In order
to live a long time, eat simple
foods and do not eat but one
meal a day. Allah (God)Taught em,
that in that way you will reach
the age of 140 years. If you eat
once every two (2) or three (3)
days you could probably live
like the old patriarchs, for
near one-thousand (1,000) years.
I do not do all of these
things (being restrictive about
eating.) I act the fool
sometimes. When I act the fool,
I am learning more about you who
are acting the fool and would
think that you are pretty smart
while it is death to you.
I did not say that it was
really wrong for you to use
alcohol. But it is wrong for you
to use it in the way that you
use it -- getting drunk from
alcohol. If we only know how to
use anything with moderation, we
would be a long time hurting
ourselves.
TRY to eat all of your foods,
fresh from the source from which
it springs. In the frigid zone
of the north, we have to can our
food. But, if we can eliminate
the canning idea and get our
food fresh everyday, I say get
your food everyday and eat it
and what is left over, feed it
to something else out here in
the world and do not eat it
tomorrow.
WE have a lot to talk about
on the subject of HOW TO EAT TO
LIVE. I have hardly scratched
the surface.
Only eat one (1) meal a day
and you will surely live long.
Eat the proper food if you eat
once, twice or three times a
week. Do not say that you cannot
eat once a week. It is the way
that you train your stomach. You
can make a habit of eating once
every week and you will survive
happily. So, EAT TO LIVE and not
to die.
