How was eating different in the Garden of Eden? Did Adam and Eve need to worry about getting fat? Were they concerned about high cholesterol? Was blood pressure an issue? What changes did sin bring to the food and to how our bodies respond?
Did you need to crack the shells on nuts? Did the nutmeats need protection? Was fruit seasonal or did the trees produce constantly? Was there so much variety that you didn’t notice no apples were available? Since death had not come to the world, did fruit rot? Were vegetables part of the diet?
Vegans would have liked it. You can make a good case for no meat before Noah exited the ark. What was it like having no steak or fish sticks?
Did Adam and Eve stay healthy because they had to walk to gather their food. Maybe they kept in shape climbing trees to reach the big oranges.
Before sin entered the world, our diets must have been different.
I wonder what they will serve at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb?

Perhaps the serpent was the first to entice with the term "It's sinfully delicious!"
ReplyDeleteIs that another way of saying, "The devil made me do it?"
