Are you picking a fight with someone who's promoting that diet?
I haven't read it, but I'm against anything that claims to be the "Godly" or "Biblical" or "Holy" way to diet. Or to wash clothes or buy cars or whatever. Since that means that the way everyone else does things must be inherently sinful.
Not at all..
And as for the point, I haven't read it, but I think it's more about living a more "natural" life, through a more natural diet, not about "sin".
Naw, it's not judgemental as far as sin goes. it only says other diets aren't necessarily as healthy. I am about half way through it thus far. What I am gleening from it is that vegetarians have only half way and atkin's dieters aso only have it half way. That since we were made to eat both, we should eat both. AND that we should not eat overly processed foods. Sounds like common sense to me.
The new information that I am getting from the book has to do with our (mostly American, but everyone in general) industrialized methods and whatnot. Vey interesting read, though not very entertaining.
I am getting to the spiritual wellness part. Haven't started that section yet, but it looks okay so far.
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.
