Biologically Correct Diet - 2nd Installment

Most, if not all, of the facts I told you, in the first installment, are already known to you. The same applies to the facts I'll give you today and in future installments. The only thing I'm doing is bringing all of these facts together into one cohesive whole. This was done for me when I was introduced to BCD and so I was able to see the logic of the BCD as I hope you will.

It should be obvious from the examples I've given and from what you already know that all living things have been given the means to obtain, ingest, digest, etc. their biologically correct foods (BCD). This applies to all living things - trees and plants, bugs (no matter how many legs), fish (saltwater and freshwater) and other sea life, birds whether they fly in air or in the water (penguins) or are landed (ostrich, emu, etc.), reptiles, and all mammals including humans. It should also be obvious that the BCD (God-ordained diet - G.O.D.) for all classes and species of living things will cause those living things to thrive, i.e. will not cause any illness.

Now, let's see how God has accomplished this. Since we are most closely related to mammals, I'll restrict my comparisons to mammals but the examples could just as easily apply to other life forms.

There are three (or four) classes of mammal diet. They are Carnivore (feline, canine), Herbivore/Graminivore (bovine, equine, etc.), and Frugivore/Vegetarian (ape), (also Omnivore). They have been equipped by God thusly:
Teeth:
Carnivores (and Omnivores) have sharp, conical teeth for killing their prey and tearing the flesh in order to eat.
Herbivores/Graminivore have flat teeth in order to be able to grab grass/leaves and to be able to chew those plants thoroughly. These teeth continue to grow throughout their lives.
Frugivores/Vegetarians have flat teeth for biting into fruits/vegetables and chewing. These teeth come in two sets - child and adult - but do not continue to grow throughout their lives as they do for herbivores/graminivores.

What kind of teeth do you have?

Eyes:
Carnivores (and Omnivores) see in black and white and shades of grey. Their eyes are placed near the top of their heads and are facing forward.
Herbivores/Gram see in black and white and shades of grey. Their eyes are placed on the sides of their heads in order that they may see on both sides and thus more easily see the predators.
Frugivores/Vegetarians see in color. Their eyes are placed in the middle of their heads and face forward. They need to see in color in order to know when the fruits are ripe.

What kind of eyes do you have?

Ears:
Carnivores (Omnivores) have ears on top of their heads which are large and moveable in order to locate and stalk their prey.
Herbivores/Gram have ears on top of their heads which are large and moveable in order to detect the predators while grazing.
Frugivores/Vegs have ears on the side and middle of their heads which are small and stationary. Hearing is not as sensitive as with Carnivores and Herbivores since their natural habitat is in trees away from most predators.

What kind of ears do you have?

Nose and sense of smell:
Carnivores (Omnivores) have noses placed on the top, front of a snout and their sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
Herbivores/Gram. have noses placed on the top, front of a snout and their sense of smell is very sensitive.
Frugivores/Veg have noses placed in the middle of their faces (no snout) and their sense of smell is not very sensitive...only sensitive enough to smell ripe fruit.

What kind of nose do you have?

Legs and feet:
Carn. (Omni) have four legs and can run very fast. Their feet have heavy, round, strong nails in order to grab the ground allowing them to run fast and turn fast.
Herb/Gram have four legs and can run very fast. Their feet have hooves in order to be able to dig into the ground when they run.
Frug/Veg have two legs, stand and walk upright, and cannot run very fast...remember they live in trees. But, they have two arms with hands for grabbing...climbing and obtaining food. Those hands and toes have thin, weak nails.

What kind of legs/arms/nails do you have?

Other external physical characteristics:
Tails:
Carn (Omni) have tails.
Herb/Gram have tails.
Frug/Veg do not have tails.

Do you have a tail?

Necks:
Carn (Omni) have long necks.
Herb/Gram have extra long necks in order to reach the ground to graze.
Frug/Veg have short necks.

What kind of neck do you have?

These are the physical characteristics given by Mother Nature that allow the various mammals to obtain their biologically correct diet. The following installment will cover the characteristics that allow for ingesting of food, digesting of food, assimilation of nutrients, and elimination of wastes. In the meantime, decide what kind of food you are naturally equipped to obtain without tools or weapons.

God's View on Lawns

GOD: Frank, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going on down there in the U.S.? What in the world happened to the dandelions, violets, thistles and the stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of color by now. All I see are patches of green.

St. Francis: It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. They are called the Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers "weeds" and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass.

GOD: Grass? But it is so boring...it's not colorful. It doesn't attract butterflies, bees or birds, only grubs and sod worms. It's tempermental with temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want grass growing there?

St. Francis: Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing it and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.

GOD: The spring rains and the warm weather probably makes the grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites very happy.

St. Francis: Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it has grown a little they cut it...sometimes twice a week.

GOD: They cut it? Do they bale it like hay?

St. Francis: Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.

GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?

St. Francis: No, sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.

GOD: Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize it to make it grow and when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?

St. Francis: Yes, sir.

GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.

St. Francis: You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.

GOD: What nonsense! At least, they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep the moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. Plus, as they rot, the leaves become compost to enhance the soil. It's a natural cycle of life.

St. Francis: You'd better sit down, Lord. As soon as the leaves fall, the Suburbanites rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away.

GOD: No way!!! What do they do to protect the shrubs and tree roots in the winter to keep the soil moist and loose?

St. Francis: After throwing the leaves away, they go out and buy something called mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.

GOD: Enough!!! I don't want to think about this anymore. St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you scheduled for tonight?

St. Catherine: "Dumb and Dumber," Lord. It's a real stupid movie about...

GOD: Never mind - I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis.
