Salon: Christians preach Bible-inspired diet

[Raster]

June 6, 2004 | SHELBY, N.C. (AP) -- The Rev. George Malkmus often preaches about how he believes the world of proper eating began - or, in his opinion, vegan.

"The Lord gave us everything we need in the Garden of Eden: fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds," the preacher-turned-diet adviser said in an interview at Hallelujah Acres, his North Carolina headquarters. "That's why we call the way we eat the 'Hallelujah Diet.' We celebrate its true creator."

"When God gave me this health message I knew it would have a major impact on the world," he said. "Just as the Bible is the best selling book in history, I see no reason why 'The Maker's Diet' can't be the best selling health book in history."

What about the Sodom and Gomorrah Diet? What can I eat (or not eat) on that one?

1. Jesus fed the crowds FISH, not veggies. My mother converted

to my father's church. A lot of the people in it are vegetarians, and some insist that is the only correct diet in God's eyes. They give my mother a hard time, who NEEDS protein and red meat from other than that soy crap because of her medical conditions (multiple). So I told her to tell these creeps, who can't read "judge not that ye be not judged" and can't read "I come to bring the NEW law (not to enforce old testament codes), to explain why Jesus fed the crowds FISH if that was sinful! Shut them up awhile, anyway. Sheesh.

And the police think I'm tight,

Plastic Jesus shelters me,
For His head comes off you see,
He's hollow and I use Him for a flask!
