Re: Oktoberfest 2013 - here on LDSFF
I like what Jeremy pointed out about D&C 89. What are these hidden treasures? What are these blessings? Are we receiving these blessings?
I see this section as more of a personal thing. I pray about what I should be doing. I eat and drink and if something doesn't make me feel well I leave it alone. I don't eat hot dogs, ribs, steak, hamburgers etc. unless I get invited to someone's house to eat or if that is what is served at a ward function. I have felt my frequency increase with following this counsel.
One of my favorite scriptures is: "John7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."- Jesus
I cannot attest to the mild barley drinks. I have not done. I do not know for myself. If I smell alcoholic drinks I generally dry heave when I do. Same thing with walking past a rotten trash cans or getting smoked on it has the same effect. I guess I have a weak stomach and too strong sense of smell! :))

Some scientist are now saying, that many modern diseases are from a lack of meat in the diet, especially organ meat.D&C 49: 18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance.

Well, fermented foods in actuality are rotting foods - food that has "gone bad." Humans have just discovered some kinds that don't kill people outright: cheeses, wines, other alcoholic drinks, yeast drinks (old fashioned root beer), apple cider, partially formed chicken embryos, sauerkraut, etc.Sheol27 wrote:If I smell alcoholic drinks I generally dry heave when I do.

Thought I would throw out some food ideas for our celebration:

http://www.germanfoods.org/consumer/rec ... ncakes.cfm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Don't forget the sauerkraut...Klausen makes awesome sauerkraut. You can find it in a glass jar in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. I like to make carmelized sliced onions and home-made sliced, cooked apples (with a little brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon), and mix them in with the sauerkraut (all heated together).

Well, if you want to get technical all food is rotting, you just slow down that process by refrigerating, canning, or dehydrating it; or you control the decay by fermenting it. :-BA Random Phrase wrote:Well, fermented foods in actuality are rotting foods - food that has "gone bad."

I have heard many foods are actually poisonous; but our digestiive tract adds enzymes which neutralize the poison. ???SmallFarm wrote:Well, if you want to get technical all food is rotting, you just slow down that process by refrigerating, canning, or dehydrating it; or you control the decay by fermenting it. :-BA Random Phrase wrote:Well, fermented foods in actuality are rotting foods - food that has "gone bad."

Apparently if your meal consists of 51% or more of dead, cooked foods, then your body believes it is being poisoned. Health nuts say to make sure most of your meal is raw plant-based - fruits, veggies, herbs, nuts, seeds.

Re: Oktoberfest 2013 - here on LDSFF
True, SmallFarm.
Swiftbrook, I've researched raw foods diets and living food diets. They make sense to me.
Okay, you guys, here's my personal belief about fermented foods. Some are definitely rotten (wine smells that way to me - I've never tasted it though, beer is one I'd put in the inedible rotten category, putrified chick embryo does not whet my appetite either). Others seem to have health benefits (yogurt, raw milk that goes naturally "sour" seems pretty good - pasteurized milk just goes rotten, kefir, kombucha, fermented veggies ala "Body Ecology Diet") and I have eaten them.

Re: Oktoberfest 2013 - here on LDSFF
Well, I'm not planning to go to priesthood meeting - they probably wouldn't let me in :)) Still, I might join you guys with a root beer. The other is too nasty, imo, plus I keep the current view of the wow.ajax wrote:Bump - Reminder - Just a little over 3 weeks away.

Re: Oktoberfest 2013 - here on LDSFF
For the first time in a long time I'm excited for Conference. I hope they say some interesting stuff (even interesting to me would be loud proclamations to "not read any un-correlated material!") I'm wondering how far they will take their "follow the brethren" speeches this time around.

Meat eaters, in the wild, have shorter intestines. The meat travels less whereas humans have longer intestines so the meat travels longer. This allows the meat to begin rotting. Not very good on the human body.

OR
You could just log on an hour after priesthood session with a water or your favorite soda, lift your aluminum can or plastic up and say "Cheers"
