The Lord speaks very directly through Paul to this point in the New Testament.

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to ab stain from meats, which God hath created to be re ceived with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

If you will stop to evaluate, you will find that the bottom line in any health food teaching or fad is the abstinence from meat. This is no accident.
