What U Ate That question was asked on the back an Awake Magazine some years back with this same photo caption
YOU can take practical steps to enjoy safe food. However, many factors are beyond
your control. For example, you cannot personally inspect all food before you buy or
prepare it. You may have to purchase food that has been processed and shipped from
afar. And some of the food that you buy may be contaminated by dangerous chemicals in
the air, water, or soil.
In a report entitled “Foodborne Disease Control: A Transnational Challenge,” officials
from the World Health Organization state that some food safety problems “cannot
be resolved by national governments alone; they require international cooperation.”
Foodborne diseases are a global problem!
Understandably, many will question why we can confidently say that soon there will be
healthful food for all. It is because “Jehovah, the Lord of the whole earth,” promises a solution to man’s food problems. (Joshua 3:13) Some may claim that unsafe food proves that
God cannot be trusted. But think: If a waiter carelessly allows fine food to spoil, would it
be proper to blame the chef? Of course not. Similarly, humans—not the Creator—are responsible for spoiling the earth’s supply of fine food. The prevalence of unsafe food is a
HEALTHFUL FOOD FOR ALL SOON!
“A CODE OF RULES OF HEALTH”
About 3,500 years ago, Israel received the Mosaic Law. That Law protected the Israelites
from many foodborne illnesses. Consider the following instructions:
˘ Avoid unclean utensils and dishes that touched a dead animal: “Any vessel of which
some use is made will be put in water, and it must be unclean until the evening and then
be clean.”—Leviticus 11:31-34.
˘
Do not eat an animal that died of itself: “You must not eat any body already dead.”
—Deuteronomy 14:21.
˘ Eat leftovers within a short period: “On the next day what is left of it also may be eaten.
But what is left of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned with fire.”
—Leviticus 7:16-18.
A. Rendle Short, M.D., expressed surprise that the Mosaic Law—compared with the contemporary laws of surrounding nations—should contain “so wise and reasonable a code of
rules of health.”
