Another great book concept hits the shelf: _What Would Jesus Eat? The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer_ by Don Colbert, M.D. Among the advise offered, a review says it contains this gem, “Avoid processed foods, red meat, **and pork**.” Oy, I suppose cheeseburgers and shrimp cocktails are out too? ---

Think it follows Jewish dietary law? > [@](#): > > Living Longer Besides, didn’t Jesus die at about 30? Unless they’re referring to eternal life, in which case prayer would seem a better approach. ---

If you’re going presume what Jesus would eat it might be a good idea to read what he said on the topic in [Matthew 15](http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=MATT+15&language=english&version=NKJV) and [Mark 7](http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=MARK+7&language=english&version=NKJV) . The key statement in and is > [@](#): > > Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. The comments seem to say that he declared all foods clean but the whole argument started because of the disciples not washing their hands. ## FWIW I saw some discovery channel thing about healing and nutritional properties of seven specific foods mentioned in Duteronomy 8:8 - wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olive oil and honey. All good wholesome yummy things. Someone also makes a [pre-packaged](http://www.houseofdavid.net/cgi-bin/store/store.cgi?&shop=city&cart=45167468x8014&session=3d99906472658b4e&L=eng&P=BB-18) form. Padeye, whose favorite bible verse is about the mutlitude that loafs and fishes. ---
