Alright, I'm a Non-denominational...but one of my best friends is a Seventh-day Adventists. He claims there's verses in the Bible that say that it's wrong to eat meat...yet he's never been able to provide them to me.
Enlighten me if you can
Isn't that like eagles and vultures or something? Just guessing since I don't have my Bible handy
Note: The prayer includes three particulars: health of body, heanth of soul, and prosperity in secular affairs. We should have more of all three of these things if we devoutly pray fior them. I will give Biblical text to support each principal but will only quote the most important.
Are physical habits of living important in God's sight?
What are our bodies said to be?
Note: When the Spirit of God dwells in one, his body is no longer his but is simply in his care. It is his duty to care or it as God's property, with it to gloriy God.
On what basis did God promise to keep sickness from ancient Israel?
Besides giving laws of spiritual lie and health, what guidence concernng healthful living did God give to His ancient pople?
What food did God provide for man in the begining?
After the flood, as a result of the earth's reduced prductivity, what emergency food was premitted?
Note: God gave warnings and prohibitions concerning the use of flesh foods, making a distinction between the "unclean" and the "clean." Read Lev. 11:1-47.
. But anyway thanks for the descriptive post My dad is an avid hunter and we lived off deer, antelope, moose and elk meat for most of my childhood. Buffalo is also very good, a nice lean meat. Here in Canada, wild meat is a staple in most areas. 
Whatever. Just look at the story in Daniel 1. The 4 hebrew boys refused to see the meat of Babylon. After just 10 days, they looked better and are wiser than those ate the king's meat.I think the text that you are refering to was actualy spoken by the Apostle Paul. It is;
Lets take a closed look at what this text is actually telling us based on the originl Greek. We will only consider the key points.
The point NightEternal missed is this: the standard of regulation for meat industry is not adequate.
I agree with this. After reading the book Fast Food Nation I almost had a heart attack at some of the things the author brought forward. :o I wish the standards were a LOT higher.
The antibiotics, hormones, diseases making the meat increasingly unfit for consumption.
True. It's always better to get free range animals that are grain-fed if possible.
And meat is an acidic food, an ideal environment for virus to grow. And cooking of the meat (high temperature) produces carcinogen which leads to cancer.
Agh. Pesticides on the fruit and vegetables will cause cancer as well. We all gotta die sometime. I'm not going to let food paranoia cripple me.
A carnivore just can't win, can he? You undercook your steak, you get flack for the blood. You overcook it you get flack for the carcinogen.
Science has proven vegeterianism generally leads to good health. Just look at the differential of the cancer rate of the far east countries whose main diet is grains and vegetables verses countries such as North America and Europe whose main diet is meat. It tells the whole story.
That's a pretty vast generalization. I know meat eaters who are robust and healthy. I also know vegans who would make concentration camp victims look healthy.
The people before the flood who were strictly vege diet lived to be a thousand years. After the flood, they began to eat meat, their life span was rapidly reduced.
And that had nothing to do with the sin condition or the increasingly violent society they lived in?
Even Jesus had a deteriorated body compared to Adam before the fall.
Plus vegetarians are smarter and better looking.
Okay, I really hope you weren't serious with this argument...
Just look at the story in Daniel 1. The 4 hebrew boys refused to see the meat of Babylon. After just 10 days, they looked better and are wiser than those ate the king's meat.
I saw a documentry on the meat industry. I suspect most people will quit eating meat if they saw what's in there before they ground up the 'beef' and saw how the chickens are raised and processed.
That's why there is organic food. Ellen White encouraged people to own land and grow their own produce.Agh. Pesticides on the fruit and vegetables will cause cancer as well. We all gotta die sometime. I'm not going to let food paranoia cripple me.

You can find an exception to rule in everything. Vegetarianism does not automatically mean good health. Balanced, non-restrictive vegetarianism plus active life style general produces good health.
It sure does. But before the flood people were wicked and violent that God had to destroy all of them. But after the flood, meat was introduced in diet. Then the life span drastically shortened. There is a strong connection.
The four hebrews did look fairer and grew wiser as the direct result of the pulse(vegetable) diet.
Our body can take alot of abuse. But eventually it catches up.I am 5'9" and weigh 168 lbs. The results of my last physical found me to be in prime health.
I also have a college degree and plan to go for my Masters soon at Andrews.
So much for that.
As for good looking, my wife seems to think she has a pretty good catch.
