I'm against anything that claims to be the "Godly" or "Biblical" or "Holy" way to diet.

I'm with you. I feel the same way about bumper sticker theology. Just because my car isn't plastered with WWJD doesn't mean I'm a heathen. Regardless, I haven't read the Maker's Diet and probably won't. But if you step back and look at the Bible as an anthropological record of historical foodways and the culture surrounding food, it is truly fascinating. How many of the stories and parables *don't* involve food? LOL. (Ok, there are a few) The reviews I've read of the M'sD make it sound like it embraces what I call the nutritional natural law, what most would call common sense: old fashioned, home-prepared foods are good for you, that balancing daily stress with prayer or quiet reflection is good for you, and that fresh air, sunshine, and exercise is good for you.

I'm a computer geek, I think we have a firmly held belief that sunlight will actually kill you. Or is that vampires? I always mix us up with other undead.

I don't put that stuff on my car 'cause I'm too afraid someone will cut me off in traffic and I'll flip 'em the one finger salute.

In Christian charity, of course.
