I have a hard time believing the author of the article believes in God. At least not the God of the Bible.
What this guy is advocating is the Colossian Heresy. "do not eat, do not touch, do not" this and that, from which restrictions we have been liberated by Christ's sacrifice and his fulfillment of all the ceremonial laws of cleanness and uncleanness. The moral law however we are still to follow, and we are empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit. Those who are unsaved, no matter how 'moral' they may appear, still are completely unable to fulfill the moral law either because they lack the Holy Spirit (given by faith in Christ and his Word). So they go back to trying to follow these works of the law to redeem themselves. It's blasphemous and dishonoring of Christ. It's as bad as the Judaizers in Galatians.
I don’t disagree with you, all I am saying is that there was genuine health logic behind God saying ‘don’t eat these things’. And of course there would be, as God seems to know this kind of stuff before man actually figures it out.
Doing things God says to do or not do usually has blessings and benefits on several different levels.
And yes, I know the dietary restrictions are no longer in place for Israel. That still doesn’t take away the fact there are notable health benefits to eating a certain way, and it isn’t surprising that diets that are better for you exclude the things God once said to Israel to avoid. I’m just not surprised by it.
