"Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."

​

Genesis 9:3

  

God’s definition for food is very straightforward, simple and not at all complicated: animals and plant life for food.

 

In the beginning, we were given the responsibility of working in harmony with the earth to cultivate the land to produce crops and raise cattle for food. If you take a quick inventory of what we are eating today, food has taken on many different variations outside of this original definition. Much of what individuals are eating today is not food at all, but a food product. Food products are highly processed and consist of particles derived from whole foods.

 

Examples of food products are boxed cereal, soda, instant mashed potatoes, donuts, fast food, frozen dinner entrées, jelly, bagels, canned goods, bottled juice, pasta, bread, pastries, ice cream, and potato chips. Basically, any edible item that is not in its original or whole form. This is where the term whole food comes from. Whole food is food that comes from the earth and has not been processed, or is minimally processed, and is still in its original whole state. The Rock Your World Naturally Lifestyle shows how eating whole food in the form of vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and has always been and still is God's original plan.
