does anyone here remove blood from their meat before cooking it? should i be doing this or not?

[dqhall]

It is possible to have uncured versions of many items. Some farmers use natural cures as well. I purchase my meat in bulk and ordered a portion of pig. I have ham and bacon but neither were cured.



The Okinawa people have the longest life spans. They aren't vegan or pescatarians. You can view their diet here.

My daughter did a plant-based diet that began at Lent and ends this month. I can't eat like that. My protein consumption is low on its own. But that was overkill and my body revolted. I was fatigued and sluggish. When I ate meat I felt energized. I eat twice per day and try to have meat at one meal when possible.

If you will read, “The Blue Zones Solutions,” by Dan Buettner you may find there is a cluster of centenarians at Okinawa, same as there are more than the average number of centenarians at Loma Linda, CA. Buettner studied Okinawa. They used more plant based food than meat. They also have access to seafood. Some of their elderly tended vegetable gardens.

From a separate text, the Japanese had a plant based diet with seafood added for centuries. It was part of their law and culture.

Doing a healthy vegan diet may require study. I found adding 6 ozs omega 3 rich fish per week helped me keep my strength. I used whole grains, lentils, beans, seeds and nuts for protein. I studied vitamin and mineral supplementation for vegans. I used less than the full amount of recommended supplements as I get much from my diet.

Using an exercise bike 20-40 mins a day while watching TV took away some of my sluggishness.

The sodium nitrites might be part of the processed meat cancer risk; red meat being the other part.

Yahweh speaking inside of you, within your Mind, has lead you to refrain from doing burdensome traditions of elders that were not the original transmitted instructions taught by the disciples. Indeed, we are not under the law if we are immersed within the (TRUE) name of Yahweh Yahuwshua, if we profess that Yahuwshua IS Yahweh, that He died and rose again to release us from our errors (sins). Christians who materially follow the scriptures in this burdensome way have missed the true meaning and interpretation of the message; mainly because they lost His name so the clergy is being mislead by an evil spirit, or also because of bad translation and missing text that was purposely hidden from the public through coding. Here is better translation of what Acts 15:19-21 should say from the Purer Scriptures for the REMNANT: (this is downloadble for free www.yahuwshua.org, please visit this website for more information about how we shall be rescued by professing that Yahuwshua is Yahweh and renouncing the pagan lies and substitutions for Him)

19. Which is why I decide that they should not trouble those from the “heathen masses” who return to Yâ-hwéh;

20. Instead, to write to the same ones of the Son [being] the ones, not to stay away separated apart of the ones (m.) not of the adversary (sâţâ´n), [~rather,] of the defilements of the ones (m.) not [being] of the adversary (sâţâ´n): of the worshipped images of Yisrâ’ë´l, even [being] the one (n.) not of the sexual adultery of Yisrâ’ë´l, and [being] the ones not of the strangled [~Yehuwthâ´h], and of Yisrâ’ë´l, [being] the ones not of the blood-shedding [~sâţâ´n] [1 Moshéh 9: 3-4],

21. because Moshéh, [being of] He Who “I shall exist (’e-hyéh) Llisrâ’ë´l” of the capable nativities of the ancient ones according to the vessel of Yisrâ’ë´l [is] the city against the one (n.) [~Yehuwthâ´h the beast (n.)] not [being] ones openly proclaiming the same One [being] the Son [~Yâhuwshúa`], who suppresses It among the ones of Yisrâ’ë´l, with the ones (f.) [~the sister] not belonging to the assemblies, according to the vessel of Yisrâ’ë´l. Each one that [is] the reposed ones (shâvë´th)[1] [~participle form of shâváth (to repose)], [is] one being acknowledged in the middle.”


[1] Note: shâvë´th is the singular participle form of shâváth (to repose). Coded context says this was plural here (the Hebraism is singular however). The `Ivríyth word here would be shâvthówth. The differences between these terms and the well-known but altered ones appearing in the Masoretic are different only in their vowel-pointing.

well, salvation is by faith in the blood of Jesus alone, and id we call on Him in sincere repentence, whatever language we use, He will save us. as His word promises. this is all very interesting though!

plant based not an option for me, am on a doctor precribed diet- high fat, high protein, high vegr, low carbs. paleo, basically. but this is very interesting and informative. many meditteranean countries also use a plant based diet and seem to have much lower rates of heart disease and strokes

 

[Junia]

Going vegetarian on Paleo is actually pretty easy. You will eat lots of nuts, nut oils, avocado, eggs, etc.

very expensive on my low income in my country. i do eat those things but i cannot afford for them to be the bulk of my diet so i eat pork chicken and beef (lamb on special occasions). i have looked into it. i am not wanting to change my diet, because i dont believe food damns us or saves us but wondering abou the salt thing

 

[Junia]

I don’t want any blood in my meat.

nor me, hence why am asking. not a salvation issue. but if God prefers we abstain from blood, i thought might go back to givin g it a go

 

[Junia]

No one has mentioned this important verse... (as far as I can tell)

"All food is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer...." 1 Tim 4:5

thanks, Carl. am glad you found the scripture. i did men tion it, but caould not give the reference

 

[Junia]

I disagree that this command was to Gentiles today. It was to the Gentiles in the early church, to prevent them offending their Jewish brethren, who considered eating meat with the blood in as offensive as sexual immorality.

Remember how Paul later explains to eat what is purchased in the market place without questions of conscience? Peter's vision from God showed that all foods were clean, and one of the gospel accounts attribute to Jesus this teaching also (it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but that which comes out of a man that makes him unclean).

thanks. this is what i was wondering because my Church takes this stance on i t and after i left Hebrew Roots teachings i stuck with what the church said....dont understand why i am having doubts....i hop ei havent left the Narrow Way of trusting in Jesus alone and not works for my salvation

I have a behavioral medicine specialist and nutritionist. Neither would recommend that diet for me. We're trying to increase my protein intake. They'd like me to eat more but my body is accustomed to less consumption.

I have a seasonal whole foods diet. I'm following the Lord's directives and my health is good. There are items He removed and others He added. I take a liquid B-12 supplement. I often forget my multivitamin. I need to put it on my nightstand.

Using an exercise bike 20-40 mins a day while watching TV took away some of my sluggishness.

I have a gym where I live and the beach is a block away. Both were closed during the SIP mandates. We're still locked down. We have Daily Burn and I'm looking at indoor bikes. I considered Peleton but I don't like the mandatory subscription. The M3i looks promising and the Rogue Echo or Concept2 would work.

The sodium nitrites might be part of the processed meat cancer risk; red meat being the other part.

We're eating nose to tail now. I have reliable sources for meat and fish and I'm expanding our diet. I focus on taste and would consider my style decidedly French. Not only in preparation but in portion control too. I'm trying to solidify two meals with afternoon tea or three including breakfast. We work from home and moderation is an important factor.

Nope.. not a all. Pray over it.. praise God!

 

[ViaCrucis]

As I see it here's the meat of the issue (pun intended): Food and drink are not spiritual issues, they have no relationship or significance in our lives before God. As long as you are 1) eating and drinking with a clean conscience and 2) not provoking or judging your brother or sister then eat or drink anything you want.

When it comes to what to eat, like how much red meat, or any red meat, or any meat at all? That's really all up to personal lifestyle choices. That is, these are matters of food preference (what one likes or does not like to eat), health (your doctor might proscribe a certain diet for your own personal health concerns), or personal matters of conscience, such as avoiding factory farms product and choosing only free range etc.

It's all fine and good to talk about what sorts of foods are healthy and which foods are not healthy; as long as we are only talking about health. But bodily health has nothing to do with religious practice or discipline.

When we give up certain foods during, for example, Lent, the point isn't to "diet"; the point is to discipline the bodily appetites by refraining from more luxurious foods; and also to devote oneself to prayer and charity.

This co-mingling of religion and diet is just straight up weird, and has no place in Christianity.

But bodily health has nothing to do with religious practice or discipline.

Well I was at a meeting years back and the guy up the front looked down at the congregation - his gaze fell on me intently - he said come up here...

So I walked up and he said You have a cholesterol problem - God doesn't want you to die - He's got a lot for you to do...

He prayed for me and my cholesterol dropped from 6.8 to 5.3 in about 7 days.

I'm 74 and I still have a lot to do...

I am careful how I eat - I don't drink coffee or tea, because I have a work to do.

So I believe in keeping the temple well maintained which is simply good stewardship.

 

[CaspianSails]

During the slaughtering and butchering process excess blood is drained from animals and either used to create blood meal or reduced for other purposes. There is little blood in the meat you buy. I would not be concerned with it. If you are you can simply soak the meat in salt water for a period of time, much as you would do with game meat.

 

[PaulCyp1]

No, I don't. Once it is cooked, it isn't even recognizable as blood (unless you cook your meats rare).

You might like T. Collin Campbell’s, “The China Study.“ This very large nutrition study sponsored by a Chinese ruler who had cancer. He assembled an international team of experts to study links between diet and cancer. Diets high in animal protein were shown to increase the incidence of cancer.

I’m familiar with the book. It was a groundbreaking study. I’ve read many titles like his. Sally Fallon led me to Weston Price. He was instrumental in my decision to pattern my diet with ancestry and proximity in mind. I had a natural affinity for French food and seafood. There are genetic reasons why both appeal. It might explain my delight in watching Julia Child over cartoons.

Each year I move further down the road. We have an eco-friendly home and lifestyle. But that didn’t happen overnight. My ultimate goal is a family home with vines, fruits and vegetables. I like the idea of livestock but the upkeep is laborious.

If you think it’s clean, you are not sinning. I should have added this to my earlier comment; It is always true that, if you think you are sinning, you are. However, just because you don’t think something is a sin doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not. If your conscience has been seared, for example, you may not sense wrong. I assume that you already knew this but just in case.

Not all French eat Julia Child’s recipes. Some are vegan or pescatarian. Gardening, fruit tree cultivation and tending vines requires skill. Many small scale farmers are impoverished. Some of the wealthy have hobby farms.

Julia was beloved by Americans. I don’t expect the French to feel the same. Her death inspired me to fulfill a long held desire to go to culinary school. I’m aware of farming challenges. When I wanted to learn gardening I spent a season on an organic production farm.

I worked at a high end wine shop while attending culinary school. Obtaining professional certification for wine and cheese are on my bucket list. I’m familiar with viticulture programs. Davis and Cornell are quite good.

You can hire a winemaker to develop the vines. Some hobbyists go that route. Or purchase a property with production in place. I believe in income producing ventures. Real estate must pay for itself.

You seem to have too many things going on, rather than focusing on excelling in one job. There is an old saying, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” Not likely to become head chef and restauranteur, if you drop out of kitchen work to go to Cornell to learn how to tend vineyards. You may not be able to compete below the price point of older better established vineyards. Besides fertile land in wine producing areas is not cheap. If your family owns a vineyard and they want you to go back to school, that is a different story. My grandparents had a cherry tree in their back yard. My other grandparents had citrus trees in their backyard. That sort of thing might be possible if you have a backyard, fertile soil and abundant rainfall.
