Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 What do you think of the following quote from " How to live to eat " by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad? " Eat one meal a day or one meal every other day, and it will prolong your life. Do not think that you will starve. On the contrary. you will be treating yourself to life, and a life filled with sickless days. You can hardly get sick eating this way. I know because I have this experience. If you eat the proper food -- which I have given to you from Allah (in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad to Whom be praise forever) in this book-- you will hardly ever have a headache. " At several (countless lol... the book could be summarised in a few words but it is a 100-page long) passages, he says that eating more than once a day is going to make you sick. He even recommends eating once every 3 days if you have the strength to do it. He says that eating 3 meals a day is a sick habit form Western cultures and that we impose it on other cultures... However, he says that sick people, needing energy, should eat more until there are well again. This is contradictory, as the idea behind eating less is that you give your body time to regenerate itself. And when you are sick, you need more than regular people to regenerate your body and immune system. Do you agree than eating 3 meals a day is asking for sickness at some point in the future? I've read several times than ancient cultures were eating only once a day and that they fell into decadence when they ate more (like the romans). . .
