“The Bible says that John the Baptist ate ‘locusts and wild honey’; but I’ve seen one interpretation indicating that the locusts were the pod of the carob tree, which is actually a legume...”

“Locusts” meet the requirements of clean food according to the diet and sanitation laws (Leviticus 11), both the insect and the legume.

Matthew and Mark a equally ambiguous concerning the nourishment.

Well, it’s good to know that, either way, John was compliant.

I prefer to take no thought as to what I eat; but I’m very concerned about what I allow into my mind.
