Clean Food For Thought

I've talked to so many different people about clean foods (Leviticus 11) and have heard repeatedly, "But   ___insert_unclean_food_here___   tastes so good!"

Turkey is very cheap.  I don't know how it compares to pork because I usually distractedly rush past that section when I am shopping but considering a pound of ground turkey is ONE THIRD the cost of a pound of hamburger and about ONE FIFTH the cost of the fancier "ground beef," I feel comfortable calling it "affordable."

I just made an AMAZING pizza out of a cheese Digorno with turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage.  I had to pepper the sausage and mist the pepperoni with olive oil (Turkey is dryer than the P word).  But it came out better than I remember.

If you crisp turkey bacon in the oven (mist with olive oil when rotating), it tastes JUST LIKE BACON.

I make egg rolls with ground turkey and when I add the tiniest bit of sriracha and sweet chili sauce to my cream cheese wontons, crab rangoons become a distant memory.

Pork Chops, Smork Chops.  I cooked so many of those damned (literally) things as a Gentile (and no, the past tense of that statement does not immediately deem me Jewish)... All I need now is a chicken thigh filet or a good juicy TURKEY tenderloin and I can easily season a fry that will leave your mouth equally as pleased as your stomach and digestive system.

Beef polka kielbasa.  Beef hot dogs.  Angus beef hot dogs. YUMMMM Add some vegetarian baked beans for a familiar twist.

I may work a little harder for my food, but it pleases The Most Holy One and I'm ingesting LITERALLY 100+ less toxins (and who knows how much less fat, cholesterol, and even sodium) than when I ate unclean.  Pork carries an estimated 100 viruses a year over from China (Google it), IMMEDIATELY making following the Bible 100% more effective than any one vaccine...

Unbeknownst to most of today's society,  sacrifices of the Old Testament also often resulted in cooked meat for food (not too much unlike what you probably had for dinner tonight) for the congregation or for the priest and/or his family that he couldn't work to provide for because he spent all of HIS (interesting sidenote) time being a priest for Yah.  A search of my phone's Bible of "for a sweet savour" in conjunction with the scent of sacrifices returned 27 results UNTO Yahveh.  

When I would cook bacon or BBQ at my old job,  I couldn't help but think of Aaron's sons in Leviticus 10:1-3 as the thick, greasy aroma would fill the air.

Just a little food for thought. ;)
