God Wants Us to be Foodies

Brian Steinburg posted this on Chowhound and his blog, http://lastoneeating.wordpress.com/ and I thought it was a wonderful piece about why we should love our food.

"If god indeed made humans in her own image, then it stands to reason that she wanted us to be foodies. After all, humans are super-omnivores. Unlike other mammals who eat a narrow rage of foods, meat or vegetables, humans can eat almost anything.

If the wheat crop craps out this year, we can eat potatoes, or corn, millet, rice, barley, oats etc. We can eat meat, seafood, vegetable, fruit, nuts, seeds, grains, fungi, flowers, and even bark in the form cinnamon. We also have the capacity to combine our foods for infinite flavor variation for our foodie pleasure. The better a food tastes, the more we want to eat. The more variety we eat the better chance we have to receive adequate, balanced nutrition. In other words, the more we are foodies, the better chances we will be healthy enough to stay alive, and find a mate and make foodie babies, who will make more babies in God’s image.

God has a plan and that plan is for us to eat from a bountiful garden. Of course this does not really explain God’s “Just say no to apple’s” policy. I figure, as the omnivores they were Adam and Eve should have left the apple alone and BBQ’d the snake in a marinade of berries and fresh herbs, and paired it with a nice chardonnay."
