God's diet plan

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Leviticus 11:2

Everyone likes food and even if you don't, you have to eat. People have come up with all kinds of diet plans. The moment you decide to go on diet or fast, that's when the craving to eat delicacies become an overpowering beast!

We can imagine the response of the people by the time Moses was delivering this national diet to the Israelites. They had to decide which food was clean or unclean. You will remember that they were not to eat pork. God didn't even want them to touch it. Although it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. (Lev 11:7)

In those days prior to refrigeration and pasteurization, if the Israelites had not obeyed God's dietary laws most if not all would have died from bacterial infections, food poisoning  and so on.
