Dense Food vs. Non-dense Food


After pondering what Doug Russell said about it being impossible to each too many vegetables I now think he is right.  It is too easy to eat high density foods filled with energy.  They come in small, compact units like meat, processed bars, milk, soda, oils, and juices.  If Doug is right one could eat as many herbs and fruits (see baring parts of the plant) and probably lose a lot of weight and maintain one’s weight.

The Lamanites ate meat and blood (high energy).  The Nephites ate grains.   The Lord said to eat meat sparingly.  This might mean that He meant that we eat all energy dense foods sparingly.  The Lord said to eat vegetables, fruits, herbs and grains.  These are non-energy dense foods.  Eat a lot of those.

We also would be contributing to the mass killing of animals by eating energy dense foods non-sparingly or we would be contributing to killing less animals by eating low energy dense foods in abundance.

What are your thoughts?
