"You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk." (Exodus 23:19)

This Biblical verse is often read to mean that people should not mix meat and dairy in the same meal. I believe that this is not necessarily the only interpretation of the passage and there is nothing inherently wrong with eating meat and dairy at the same time although I also believe that not eating too much high-calorie food and making small cutbacks (such as having a burger rather than a cheeseburger) is a good idea for weight loss and general health.

"Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself." (Ezekiel 4:9).

Finding healthy sources of carbohydrate can be challenging. This Biblical phrase indicates how unprocessed, wholegrain sources of carbohydrates can be healthy and life-sustaining. In the supermarket there is even a type of all-natural bread called Ezekiel, made from these same grains.
