As far as D&C 49 verses 17-19, I think first it is important to understand the revelation was given specifically to the Shakers. The Shakers forbade the eating of meat. Clearly, eating meat has a place in our lives and should never be forbidden. However, the place of meat in our lives is different depending on the situation and times in which we live. There may be times when I need to eat meat (fish for me only). <br /><br />Dr. Campbell mentioned if someone was undergoing chemotherapy that was one particular instance where the research shows their bodies actually NEED more protein. So it should be consumed. I have read the same thing when recovering from surgery, and in climates that are very cold. I thought this was further proof he didn't have an agenda, he was only driven by the truth of the data.<br /><br />I understand the struggle with dairy. I read a book by John A. Widstoe "The Word of Wisdom A Modern Interpretation." I highly recommend it. He is actually quite a big proponent of dairy. But all dairy should be unpasteurized and unprocessed. <br /><br />I think where there is no modern revelation given it is best to study it out and pray. As you have done. My conclusion for our family is to follow the data and my studies in this case. <br /><br />Much of the problem with dairy is probably the massive quantities, which any animal humanely bred and kept cannot produce to feed the average American dairy consumption. All the pastuerization, additives, hormones, antibiotics and other processing the dairy undergoes could be a major source of the problems too. Our dairy isn't coming from the family cow anymore. In fact it bears very little resemblance.<br /><br />So while agree it is not out of accordance with the word of wisdom to consume dairy, I find it is in accordance with the research I have done to drastically limit it. <br /><br />The Lord has also told us not be commanded in all things. So in this, we have moved forward in a way appropriate for our family and our stewardship. I feel very comfortable in keeping our animal (fish/eggs from our chickens/raw dairy) at levels below 10%. <br /><br />I don't know if that helps. But it maybe clarifies how I was finally able to come to a decision. Good luck. Let me know how it turns out.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757589593206263571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098159563514496537.post-47266836686982642552010-01-20T21:19:48.004-07:002010-01-20T21:19:48.004-07:00That is neat you got to meet him. I'm so back...That is neat you got to meet him. I'm so back and forth on things, especially the dairy thing. The meat thing is no question (though we're not totally vegetarian, it's definitely sparingly at our house) with D&C 89. But it doesn't say anything about dairy. No where that I can find, anyway. All about the flesh of beasts. And then, of course there is D&C 49, I think, which says animals are for food and raiment. ? I've studied and prayed. That's why I'm hung up on dairy.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742195103810186475noreply@blogger.com
