What does it
mean to eat God's way?
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.80
Stay tuned to
compare the groceries
00:00:02.83\00:00:05.13
of two different shoppers.
00:00:05.17\00:00:06.74
Hello, my name
is Marcella Lynch.
00:00:25.35\00:00:28.09
Welcome to Food For Thought,
00:00:28.12\00:00:30.36
the cooking program that
teaches God's eating plan
00:00:30.39\00:00:33.29
as unfolded through scripture
00:00:33.33\00:00:35.06
and through an understanding
of God's other book,
00:00:35.10\00:00:38.13
the book of nature.
00:00:38.17\00:00:39.80
Every machine needs
its special kind of fuel
00:00:39.83\00:00:43.51
according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
00:00:43.54\00:00:46.57
My car burns
unleaded regular gasoline,
00:00:46.61\00:00:50.65
some trucks take diesel,
but my husband's chainsaw
00:00:50.68\00:00:54.62
runs on a mixture of gas and oil
00:00:54.65\00:00:57.52
because it is a
two-cycle engine.
00:00:57.55\00:01:00.02
And if you've
watched the zoo keeper
00:01:00.06\00:01:01.69
feeding all the different
kinds of animals at the zoo,
00:01:01.72\00:01:05.16
you've seen that
different species require
00:01:05.19\00:01:07.56
different kinds of food.
00:01:07.60\00:01:10.10
My body machine needs
its special kind of fuel too.
00:01:10.13\00:01:14.90
Did you ever stop to think that
there is an instruction manual
00:01:14.94\00:01:18.87
telling us the
best kind of fuel food
00:01:18.91\00:01:22.04
to put in our body machine?
00:01:22.08\00:01:24.58
Sure enough, there is one.
00:01:24.61\00:01:26.61
It was written by
God, the master designer,
00:01:26.65\00:01:30.55
and it prescribes
the best kind of fuel
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.09
for our bodies.
00:01:33.12\00:01:34.59
It is the Holy Bible.
00:01:34.62\00:01:38.46
He certainly has
given us some guidelines.
00:01:38.49\00:01:42.16
The Bible says that I am created
00:01:42.20\00:01:44.77
in God's own image or likeness.
00:01:44.80\00:01:48.30
Isn't that an awesome thought?
00:01:48.34\00:01:51.04
When I became a Christian,
I accepted the responsibility
00:01:51.07\00:01:54.81
and privilege of representing
Christ in everything I do.
00:01:54.84\00:01:59.91
I gave my heart
and my life to Him,
00:01:59.95\00:02:02.72
and acknowledged
that following His plan
00:02:02.75\00:02:04.99
for my life would
bring glory to Him
00:02:05.02\00:02:07.62
and help me to live a
happier productive life.
00:02:07.66\00:02:11.93
Think of it, belonging to God,
00:02:11.96\00:02:15.20
I am a member of His family.
00:02:15.23\00:02:18.97
Treat my body as I
please, I gave it to God,
00:02:19.00\00:02:24.04
I want to glorify God in my body
00:02:24.07\00:02:26.91
as admonished
00:02:26.94\00:02:28.28
in 1 Corinthians 6:19,
00:02:28.31\00:02:33.78
"Or do you not
know that your body
00:02:33.82\00:02:36.05
is the temple of the Holy Spirit
00:02:36.08\00:02:38.39
who is in you,
whom you have from God,
00:02:38.42\00:02:42.06
and you are not your own?
00:02:42.09\00:02:45.83
For you were bought at a price,
00:02:45.86\00:02:48.60
therefore
glorify God in your body
00:02:48.63\00:02:52.10
and in your
spirit which are God's."
00:02:52.13\00:02:56.50
And He's made a plan
for keeping my body healthy.
00:02:56.54\00:02:59.81
And my part of the plan
00:02:59.84\00:03:01.18
is to read and
follow the owner's manual.
00:03:01.21\00:03:05.25
I don't know if you live
in the city or the country,
00:03:05.28\00:03:09.98
or whether you hate
to cook or love to cook,
00:03:10.02\00:03:13.56
I have no idea
whether you cook for one,
00:03:13.59\00:03:17.09
two, four or ten,
00:03:17.13\00:03:20.50
I'm not sure
whether all the adults
00:03:20.53\00:03:22.30
of your household
work away from home,
00:03:22.33\00:03:25.47
if you are loaded with
money or have hardly any at all.
00:03:25.50\00:03:29.97
Whatever the case,
00:03:30.01\00:03:31.87
you can follow
God's ideal way of eating.
00:03:31.91\00:03:35.04
It's a simple plan.
It's economical too.
00:03:35.08\00:03:39.11
The first clue to God's plan
00:03:39.15\00:03:41.52
is in the first
book of the Bible.
00:03:41.55\00:03:44.35
In Genesis 1:29, it says,
00:03:44.39\00:03:48.66
"See I have given you
every herb that yields seed
00:03:48.69\00:03:54.10
which is in the
face of all the earth,
00:03:54.13\00:03:56.90
and every tree
whose fruit yield seed,
00:03:56.93\00:04:00.77
to you it shall be for food."
00:04:00.80\00:04:04.57
And in Genesis
3:18 it continues,
00:04:04.61\00:04:08.18
"Both thorns and thistles
it shall bring forth for you,
00:04:08.21\00:04:12.28
and you shall eat
the herb of the field."
00:04:12.31\00:04:17.32
Grains and fruits,
nuts and vegetables
00:04:17.35\00:04:21.02
constitute the diet
chosen for us by our creator.
00:04:21.06\00:04:24.99
These foods prepared in a simple
00:04:25.03\00:04:27.10
and natural manner as possible
00:04:27.13\00:04:29.40
are the most
healthful and nourishing.
00:04:29.43\00:04:32.10
They impart a
strength, a power of endurance,
00:04:32.13\00:04:35.00
and a vigor of
intellect that are not afforded
00:04:35.04\00:04:37.97
by a more complex
and stimulating diet.
00:04:38.01\00:04:41.91
God's ideal eating
plan can be discovered
00:04:41.94\00:04:44.98
by studying
physiology of digestion.
00:04:45.01\00:04:49.32
God designed our bodies
to work according to a plan.
00:04:49.35\00:04:53.32
Science also has
discovered God's natural laws
00:04:53.36\00:04:56.56
for good health.
00:04:56.59\00:04:58.03
We've learned
that to stay healthy
00:04:58.06\00:05:00.56
we need not only to eat right,
00:05:00.60\00:05:03.06
but get adequate rest and sleep.
00:05:03.10\00:05:07.30
We need fresh air,
00:05:07.34\00:05:10.01
sunlight, and exercise.
00:05:10.04\00:05:13.51
We need to drink six to
eight glasses of water daily,
00:05:13.54\00:05:18.01
we should be
temperance and drug free,
00:05:18.05\00:05:21.28
and trust God
completely with our lives.
00:05:21.32\00:05:25.09
All of these
together bring true health.
00:05:25.12\00:05:29.89
Our subject today
00:05:29.92\00:05:31.26
is planning meals God's way.
00:05:31.29\00:05:36.50
Somewhere in your home
00:05:36.53\00:05:38.40
you would want to
develop a planning center
00:05:38.43\00:05:41.90
because eating God's way
begins with planning meals.
00:05:41.94\00:05:46.84
So our lesson
today will be featuring
00:05:46.88\00:05:51.38
planning meals God's way.
00:05:51.41\00:05:55.02
Now in my kitchen,
00:05:55.05\00:05:56.38
I have a certain
place in the kitchen
00:05:56.42\00:05:58.15
that is my planning center.
00:05:58.19\00:06:00.09
And that's the first place
00:06:00.12\00:06:01.46
that meal
preparation takes place.
00:06:01.49\00:06:03.83
If you think
through ahead of time
00:06:03.86\00:06:05.19
what you want to prepare,
00:06:05.23\00:06:06.59
then you don't
become an impulse shopper
00:06:06.63\00:06:09.13
and just grab things
off the grocery stores
00:06:09.16\00:06:11.13
that may not be as
healthful as you would like.
00:06:11.17\00:06:14.60
In the planning
center, I keep my cookbooks
00:06:14.64\00:06:17.67
and I have a recipe pad
00:06:17.71\00:06:20.58
so that I can at all
times keep my grocery list ready
00:06:20.61\00:06:24.55
so that I can remember
what to buy at the store.
00:06:24.58\00:06:27.68
And, of course, I like to shop
from the ads of the newspaper
00:06:27.72\00:06:31.79
so that I can take
advantage of seasonal produce
00:06:31.82\00:06:36.52
and not buy the
things that are so expensive
00:06:36.56\00:06:39.23
at the wrong time of the year.
00:06:39.26\00:06:42.36
One thing that's helped me a lot
00:06:42.40\00:06:43.80
is to develop a
weekly menu planner.
00:06:43.83\00:06:49.07
This has a form that shows
you a breakfast, a main meal,
00:06:49.10\00:06:53.31
and an evening meal, and
I just sit down once a week
00:06:53.34\00:06:56.14
and I quickly sketch out
for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
00:06:56.18\00:06:59.35
and each day of the week,
00:06:59.38\00:07:00.72
kind of what I'm thinking
and planning for the breakfast,
00:07:00.75\00:07:03.39
the main meal
and the evening meal.
00:07:03.42\00:07:05.49
And that way, I don't
just come home from work
00:07:05.52\00:07:10.33
at the end of a
busy day and say,
00:07:10.36\00:07:12.99
"Let's see what am I
going to have for dinner."
00:07:13.03\00:07:16.26
So this way ahead of time,
I just know what I'm planning,
00:07:16.30\00:07:19.37
and I can just do
it without coming up
00:07:19.40\00:07:22.10
to that last minute and saying,
00:07:22.14\00:07:23.47
"Well, I can't serve
this because I haven't thought
00:07:23.51\00:07:25.74
ahead of time to
cook and prepare it."
00:07:25.77\00:07:28.44
Let's just make a list
00:07:28.48\00:07:29.81
of some helpful
menu planning guidelines
00:07:29.84\00:07:33.18
discovered over
the past 30 years
00:07:33.21\00:07:35.78
by studying God's Word
00:07:35.82\00:07:37.22
and His laws of
physiology and nature.
00:07:37.25\00:07:40.39
And we might say
that the first rule
00:07:40.42\00:07:43.12
for menu planning is
to plan meals in advance
00:07:43.16\00:07:46.06
as we've just mentioned.
00:07:46.09\00:07:47.86
And the one week menu
planner is a very helpful way
00:07:47.90\00:07:51.83
so that we won't impulse
buy at the grocery store.
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.70
Then the second
menu planning suggestion
00:07:55.74\00:07:58.97
would be to use the
food pyramid as a guide.
00:07:59.01\00:08:02.84
Now I don't know
if you're acquainted
00:08:02.88\00:08:04.31
with the food pyramid.
00:08:04.35\00:08:05.78
If you eat cold cereal
00:08:05.81\00:08:07.78
or shop in the
grocery store much at all,
00:08:07.82\00:08:11.25
on the side of many packages
of food you see this pyramid
00:08:11.29\00:08:14.92
that's been in existence
for three or four years now,
00:08:14.96\00:08:18.03
it's the federal
government's plan
00:08:18.06\00:08:21.00
to help us to understand
00:08:21.03\00:08:22.80
how many
different kinds of foods
00:08:22.83\00:08:24.93
we should eat
throughout the day.
00:08:24.97\00:08:27.50
And at the base of our diet,
the big part of the pyramid
00:08:27.54\00:08:32.11
is the grains and
cereals, 6 to 11 servings a day.
00:08:32.14\00:08:36.95
And as we go up the
pyramid, then we eat less,
00:08:36.98\00:08:39.58
and at the very
top is the least amount
00:08:39.61\00:08:42.48
that we should be eating.
00:08:42.52\00:08:43.85
So the very broad
base of eating God's way
00:08:43.89\00:08:46.99
is the pyramid,
00:08:47.02\00:08:50.16
the 6 to 11 servings
of grains and cereals.
00:08:50.19\00:08:53.33
Now I'm glad to see
that the federal government
00:08:53.36\00:08:55.43
has begun to sort of
come into line a little more
00:08:55.46\00:08:58.73
with a carbohydrate-based
diet, which is God's way also.
00:08:58.77\00:09:02.50
Then three to five
servings of vegetables,
00:09:02.54\00:09:05.77
and two to four
servings of fruit each day,
00:09:05.81\00:09:09.31
and then you have your
high calcium, riboflavin,
00:09:09.34\00:09:13.45
and B12 Group, which is
milk or milk alternates,
00:09:13.48\00:09:17.82
and the protein foods.
00:09:17.85\00:09:19.42
And, of course, you'll see here
00:09:19.45\00:09:20.79
that this is the
vegetarian food pyramid,
00:09:20.82\00:09:22.96
and we're going to
show you how you can eat
00:09:22.99\00:09:24.86
God's way with fruits,
grains, nuts, and vegetables
00:09:24.89\00:09:28.33
without that meat
in that meat group.
00:09:28.36\00:09:30.93
And so following this, a
number of suggested servings
00:09:30.97\00:09:34.50
from the eating pyramid
00:09:34.54\00:09:36.20
is part of what you
would want to try to do
00:09:36.24\00:09:39.21
when you plan
balanced meals for your family.
00:09:39.24\00:09:43.41
And I require my
students in the home,
00:09:43.45\00:09:45.38
at classes at school to memorize
00:09:45.41\00:09:47.48
and to be able to
reproduce this chart.
00:09:47.52\00:09:50.09
And hopefully
00:09:50.12\00:09:51.45
you might want to
learn that chart too.
00:09:51.49\00:09:53.46
And it is found in
the, "Cooking by the Book,"
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.82
cook book here,
and you can study it
00:09:55.86\00:09:59.09
and learn more about
00:09:59.13\00:10:01.30
how to balance your daily meals.
00:10:01.33\00:10:04.13
The third
suggestion for menu planning
00:10:04.17\00:10:07.54
is to understand a
daily menu planner.
00:10:07.57\00:10:11.77
In the book, here we
also have what we call
00:10:11.81\00:10:13.98
the daily menu planner.
00:10:14.01\00:10:16.44
And it's an outline
that sort of shows us
00:10:16.48\00:10:19.38
how the day's meal
should be arranged.
00:10:19.41\00:10:23.45
First of all, if you
get up in the morning
00:10:23.49\00:10:25.75
and drink one or two
eight ounce glasses of water,
00:10:25.79\00:10:29.86
this gets your
digestive system going,
00:10:29.89\00:10:32.66
and it's easy that
way to not be so hungry
00:10:32.69\00:10:36.16
that you just want to
drink a lot at your meal time.
00:10:36.20\00:10:39.57
And then eat a hearty breakfast.
00:10:39.60\00:10:41.44
You'll see here for breakfast
00:10:41.47\00:10:42.80
that one slice
of whole grain bread
00:10:42.84\00:10:44.71
is recommended, a
teaspoon of nut butter
00:10:44.74\00:10:47.58
or bread spread over the
top of the toast or the bread,
00:10:47.61\00:10:53.25
whole grain cereal
or other protein food,
00:10:53.28\00:10:57.45
two different kinds of fruits,
00:10:57.49\00:10:59.19
one of which should
be high in vitamin C,
00:10:59.22\00:11:01.69
and an eight
ounce glass of milk.
00:11:01.72\00:11:03.93
And we're going
to be talking to you
00:11:03.96\00:11:05.29
about some other kinds
of milks that you can drink.
00:11:05.33\00:11:08.46
I think you'll be interested
to see the non-dairy varieties.
00:11:08.50\00:11:11.83
Then between the meals,
00:11:11.87\00:11:14.04
drink your water
but not at meal times.
00:11:14.07\00:11:17.01
And then we ideally would eat
00:11:17.04\00:11:19.54
our big main meal in
the middle of the day.
00:11:19.57\00:11:21.64
Now that's a tough
one for some of us,
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.48
it's not always possible,
but that's the ideal plan.
00:11:23.51\00:11:27.52
We want to fuel up our machine
00:11:27.55\00:11:29.15
at the beginning of the journey,
00:11:29.18\00:11:30.65
and then eat lighter at the end.
00:11:30.69\00:11:33.46
So for the noon
meal, one entree,
00:11:33.49\00:11:37.03
and you'll be seeing some ideas
about what entrees look like,
00:11:37.06\00:11:41.40
a green leafy vegetable,
00:11:41.43\00:11:43.90
one other
vegetable, and of course,
00:11:43.93\00:11:46.70
eat raw
vegetables salads every day,
00:11:46.74\00:11:49.80
and a slice of
whole grain bread.
00:11:49.84\00:11:52.21
And then to finish off the meal,
00:11:52.24\00:11:54.08
put some kind of a
bread spread over your bread
00:11:54.11\00:11:57.08
and have something
that's like a glass of milk,
00:11:57.11\00:12:00.08
we'll be showing
some tofu, soy milks
00:12:00.12\00:12:02.42
and I think you'll
enjoy seeing those.
00:12:02.45\00:12:04.75
They're really quite
readily available now
00:12:04.79\00:12:06.99
in the different stores.
00:12:07.02\00:12:10.33
Right then for the evening meal,
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.86
it should be the
lightest meal of the day.
00:12:12.89\00:12:15.36
And you just simply need to eat
00:12:15.40\00:12:18.27
fruit or vegetable with bread.
00:12:18.30\00:12:23.07
And that's about all
you need to end the day
00:12:23.10\00:12:25.67
and drink water
then later in the evening
00:12:25.71\00:12:29.38
if you need something else.
00:12:29.41\00:12:30.75
Now what we would like to
do is to show you a sample
00:12:33.72\00:12:36.28
of eating God's
way for one entire day.
00:12:36.32\00:12:40.36
So my friend Myrna is
here, this is Myrna Peterson.
00:12:40.39\00:12:44.23
And we're going to show you
00:12:44.26\00:12:45.73
a nice
nourishing breakfast here,
00:12:45.76\00:12:48.46
something simple that
you don't even have to
00:12:48.50\00:12:50.63
know a recipe for.
00:12:50.67\00:12:52.13
It's a bowl of oatmeal
00:12:52.17\00:12:53.77
with bananas for
one of the fruits,
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.07
and your high vitamin
C fruit which is oranges,
00:12:56.10\00:12:59.84
and whole wheat
toast with peanut butter,
00:12:59.87\00:13:03.75
and of course we
have some raisins here
00:13:03.78\00:13:05.75
for the cereal, makes you
chew and crunch a little more,
00:13:05.78\00:13:07.98
and a glass of...
00:13:08.02\00:13:09.35
This happens to be tofu milk.
00:13:09.38\00:13:11.55
And so this, of course,
00:13:11.59\00:13:12.92
would be the sample
breakfast of eating God's way.
00:13:12.95\00:13:16.09
Hearty breakfast
is very important.
00:13:16.12\00:13:18.76
So this is a nice breakfast
that gets your day started
00:13:18.79\00:13:22.10
with the proper fuel
for your body machine.
00:13:22.13\00:13:25.90
Okay, so we're going to...
00:13:25.93\00:13:30.51
move into the noon meal.
00:13:30.54\00:13:33.04
The biggest meal of the
day is not in the evening,
00:13:33.07\00:13:35.94
it's in the middle of the day.
00:13:35.98\00:13:38.58
And the one we're showing you
here today is a baked potato.
00:13:38.61\00:13:43.18
And we like to emphasize
a carbohydrate-based meal.
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.69
When you plan a
meal, don't think about
00:13:46.72\00:13:48.29
the big protein
meat on the plate,
00:13:48.32\00:13:50.29
think about the starch dish.
00:13:50.33\00:13:52.39
And so a big baked
potato is wonderful.
00:13:52.43\00:13:55.06
And we've put over the top
of this vegetarian chili beans,
00:13:55.10\00:13:59.60
and there's a recipe
for that in the cookbook.
00:13:59.63\00:14:02.94
Or you can just
make it with beans,
00:14:02.97\00:14:05.71
and season it real nicely,
and make it kind of soupy
00:14:05.74\00:14:08.21
and pour it over the potato.
00:14:08.24\00:14:10.85
Broccoli steamed, crisp,
tender, and we have a carrot,
00:14:10.88\00:14:14.72
raisin, pineapple salad,
00:14:14.75\00:14:17.02
and whole wheat
dinner rolls for the dinner.
00:14:17.05\00:14:21.16
So this would be
your main nourishing
00:14:21.19\00:14:25.16
protein meal of the
day with your vegetables.
00:14:25.19\00:14:28.20
And you see here that
vegetables are a big part
00:14:28.23\00:14:31.20
of God's way of eating,
00:14:31.23\00:14:32.57
we have vegetables in the salad,
00:14:32.60\00:14:33.94
we have vegetables,
the potato is a vegetable,
00:14:33.97\00:14:36.71
and the broccoli,
00:14:36.74\00:14:38.07
and so it's wonderful to
fix them in different ways.
00:14:38.11\00:14:41.08
And, you know, when
you concentrate on eating
00:14:44.11\00:14:46.01
a lot of fruits and vegetables
like our pyramid showed,
00:14:46.05\00:14:49.45
then you do eat a lot of
just fruit in the evening.
00:14:49.48\00:14:54.56
And so here we
have a fruit plate
00:14:54.59\00:14:56.46
which would be our evening meal.
00:14:56.49\00:14:58.39
And just fill up on
fruits, it's high in fiber,
00:14:58.43\00:15:01.83
it's high in
minerals and vitamins,
00:15:01.86\00:15:03.60
it's low in
calories, it's very refreshing.
00:15:03.63\00:15:07.84
And what we have right here
00:15:07.87\00:15:09.20
is a delicious
homemade whole wheat stick
00:15:09.24\00:15:11.44
made out of whole
wheat flour and chopped nuts,
00:15:11.47\00:15:14.51
and they're very, very
chewy and sweet naturally
00:15:14.54\00:15:17.75
from the whole grain.
00:15:17.78\00:15:19.28
And these two things together
00:15:19.31\00:15:20.65
is all that you
need to end your day,
00:15:20.68\00:15:23.18
and it doesn't set heavy on you,
00:15:23.22\00:15:24.65
you can sleep
peacefully and not feel like
00:15:24.69\00:15:28.16
you have a heavy
stomach to go to bed on.
00:15:28.19\00:15:32.09
Now the US
Department of Agriculture
00:15:32.13\00:15:34.60
has recommended
00:15:34.63\00:15:37.07
different amounts
of calories per day
00:15:37.10\00:15:39.40
for different ones of us
00:15:39.43\00:15:41.10
who are more active than others.
00:15:41.14\00:15:43.41
And let's just
take a look at that.
00:15:43.44\00:15:45.84
There are 1,600 calories per day
00:15:45.87\00:15:48.41
recommended for inactive
women and some older adults,
00:15:48.44\00:15:53.25
then 2,200
calories for most children,
00:15:53.28\00:15:56.52
for teenage
girls, and active women,
00:15:56.55\00:15:58.92
and some inactive men,
00:15:58.95\00:16:01.62
2,800 calories for teenage boys,
00:16:01.66\00:16:04.93
active men, and
very active women.
00:16:04.96\00:16:08.20
And actually
when we eat God's way,
00:16:08.23\00:16:10.27
we can just about
eat all that we want
00:16:10.30\00:16:12.33
without gaining weight
00:16:12.37\00:16:14.17
because God's foods,
as recorded in Genesis,
00:16:14.20\00:16:17.71
are the fruits, grains, nuts,
and vegetables from the land.
00:16:17.74\00:16:22.24
When you eat them whole,
00:16:22.28\00:16:24.15
when they have
not been pulled apart
00:16:24.18\00:16:25.91
or are refined by
some manufacturing company,
00:16:25.95\00:16:29.75
they're just low in calories,
they're low in cholesterol,
00:16:29.78\00:16:32.62
actually there is no cholesterol
00:16:32.65\00:16:34.16
in plant foods,
00:16:34.19\00:16:35.59
and they're high in
minerals and vitamins,
00:16:35.62\00:16:37.69
and they're very filling.
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.06
You can just get full,
00:16:39.09\00:16:40.43
eat a lot and not
even have so many calories.
00:16:40.46\00:16:45.07
Now menu planning
principle number four
00:16:45.10\00:16:49.04
is to eat a variety
00:16:49.07\00:16:50.77
throughout the
week and the month.
00:16:50.81\00:16:53.74
You don't want to
eat the same thing
00:16:53.78\00:16:55.78
week after week
and day after day.
00:16:55.81\00:16:58.71
Principle number five
00:16:58.75\00:17:01.12
is to eat like a
king for breakfast,
00:17:01.15\00:17:04.39
like a prince for noon,
and a pauper in the evening.
00:17:04.42\00:17:07.96
Eat your lightest
meal in the evening
00:17:07.99\00:17:10.23
because you're
not going anywhere,
00:17:10.26\00:17:11.59
you don't need so much fuel,
00:17:11.63\00:17:12.96
and you'll sleep
better and be more refreshed.
00:17:12.99\00:17:16.23
Principle number six
00:17:16.26\00:17:18.53
is to have healthy
staples in your kitchen.
00:17:18.57\00:17:21.97
In our cookbook,
Cooking by the Book,
00:17:22.00\00:17:24.67
it gives a page
in here about staples
00:17:24.71\00:17:27.88
to stock into a
natural food kitchen.
00:17:27.91\00:17:30.85
Now Myrna and I
are going to pretend
00:17:30.88\00:17:32.71
that we're Smart
Sam and Weak Willie
00:17:32.75\00:17:35.35
who have just been
to the grocery store,
00:17:35.38\00:17:37.89
and we're going to compare
00:17:37.92\00:17:39.42
the difference
between our groceries.
00:17:39.45\00:17:41.52
So here comes Smart Sam
00:17:47.73\00:17:51.13
and Weak Willie, and let's see.
00:17:51.17\00:17:55.14
"Willie, what have you found
at the grocery store today?"
00:17:55.17\00:17:58.77
Oh, I think I've got
some good potato chips here.
00:17:58.81\00:18:02.54
Well, that
sounds pretty crunchy.
00:18:02.58\00:18:04.38
What else did you find?
00:18:04.41\00:18:06.92
Well, how about
some sugar crisps?
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.68
Uh-oh, have you checked to see
00:18:08.72\00:18:11.29
what the first
ingredient on those is?
00:18:11.32\00:18:13.39
You mean I have to read labels?
00:18:13.42\00:18:15.46
Well, I hope so.
00:18:15.49\00:18:17.03
That's one thing you
have to do is read the labels
00:18:17.06\00:18:19.46
if you're going
to survive any more.
00:18:19.49\00:18:22.16
Well, it says, "sugar." Uh-oh.
00:18:22.20\00:18:23.97
And then says "wheat."
00:18:24.00\00:18:26.13
Then it says, "corn
syrup and then honey."
00:18:26.17\00:18:29.60
Oh, you mean you've
got three sugars in there.
00:18:29.64\00:18:31.34
Yes.
00:18:31.37\00:18:32.71
And then some
refined wheat flour.
00:18:32.74\00:18:34.08
Yes.
00:18:34.11\00:18:35.44
Well, that sounds terrific.
00:18:35.48\00:18:36.81
I can have nice sandwich.
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.39
You have some of that
fluffy balloon bread here.
00:18:43.42\00:18:46.05
Yeah, nice white.
00:18:46.09\00:18:47.42
I see.
00:18:47.46\00:18:49.06
What's in that bread?
00:18:49.09\00:18:50.43
It looks like
the fiber's all gone.
00:18:50.46\00:18:52.83
And what I do
with this kind of bread
00:18:52.86\00:18:55.46
is just push the air out
of it, and then show you...
00:18:55.50\00:18:59.13
How can I use it for sandwich
if you push the air out?
00:18:59.17\00:19:00.50
I know, actually if
you want to know the truth,
00:19:00.54\00:19:03.91
there's a lot of air
in here that you paid for,
00:19:03.94\00:19:05.97
I mean, it's
really lightweight anyway.
00:19:06.01\00:19:07.71
But if you just kind of
like take the air out of it,
00:19:07.74\00:19:10.15
you know,
00:19:10.18\00:19:11.88
you just might not have a
nice sandwich at all there.
00:19:11.91\00:19:15.92
You mean, I wouldn't
get full on that air?
00:19:15.95\00:19:18.35
You might have to eat ten
slices of this to get full.
00:19:18.39\00:19:22.49
Okay.
00:19:22.52\00:19:25.29
Can I put this in,
and that would help?
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.06
Uh-oh, baloney, beef baloney.
00:19:27.10\00:19:30.03
Well, you know something,
00:19:30.07\00:19:31.40
I have something good in my bag.
00:19:31.43\00:19:32.77
I'm going to show you
00:19:32.80\00:19:34.14
what I'm going to
make the sandwich out of.
00:19:34.17\00:19:35.50
But if I had this,
00:19:35.54\00:19:36.87
wouldn't that
help fill me up more?
00:19:36.91\00:19:38.24
Cheese, yeah, it
will sure fill you up more
00:19:38.27\00:19:39.84
on the hips too
and in your arteries.
00:19:39.87\00:19:42.34
Okay. Cholesterol.
00:19:42.38\00:19:43.75
Well, then if I add this to it,
wouldn't that really help me?
00:19:43.78\00:19:47.15
Ding-dong.
00:19:47.18\00:19:48.72
Uh-oh, have you read
00:19:48.75\00:19:50.09
the first
ingredient on this one?
00:19:50.12\00:19:51.72
Why should I bother?
00:19:51.75\00:19:53.09
It's sugar, of course. Yes.
00:19:53.12\00:19:54.46
And then hard kind
of like saturated fat
00:19:54.49\00:19:57.39
and animal
shortening, okay, okay.
00:19:57.43\00:20:00.16
Well, maybe I should try this.
00:20:00.20\00:20:04.33
Macaroni and cheese, huh? Yeah.
00:20:04.37\00:20:06.27
So more of that
good refined food
00:20:06.30\00:20:08.14
and cholesterol there.
00:20:08.17\00:20:09.50
Sure.
00:20:09.54\00:20:10.87
Well, I could make
some nice cookies or...
00:20:10.91\00:20:13.84
Some nice cookies, yeah.
00:20:13.88\00:20:15.21
Some white bread.
00:20:15.24\00:20:17.21
The typical
American staple's white flour
00:20:17.25\00:20:20.28
and white sugar, huh?
00:20:20.32\00:20:22.28
And white rice?
00:20:22.32\00:20:23.65
Sure, why not?
00:20:23.69\00:20:26.15
White rice, I mean
it's nice and bland.
00:20:26.19\00:20:28.06
Oh, it's beautiful.
00:20:28.09\00:20:29.42
Yes, it's actually...
00:20:29.46\00:20:30.79
Doesn't have any of
that brown stuff on it.
00:20:30.83\00:20:33.63
Actually there's some starch
there for you, that's good.
00:20:33.66\00:20:37.40
Well, maybe I should try
some of these with this on it.
00:20:37.43\00:20:40.87
Uh-oh, sugar and...
00:20:40.90\00:20:42.24
Well, the sugar in it already,
00:20:42.27\00:20:43.61
and now you can
put some sugar on.
00:20:43.64\00:20:45.07
Can I put frosting on it?
00:20:45.11\00:20:46.61
Sugar, and
hydrogenated soybean oil,
00:20:46.64\00:20:49.74
and shortening, and white flour,
00:20:49.78\00:20:52.15
well, that's a lot
of calories, isn't it?
00:20:52.18\00:20:54.12
Can I use this
to make my frosting?
00:20:54.15\00:20:57.55
Don't you think
that would help it?
00:20:57.59\00:20:58.92
You know something,
this is the hard fats,
00:20:58.95\00:21:02.52
and that kind of
leads to problems
00:21:02.56\00:21:05.16
also with
cholesterol in the diet.
00:21:05.19\00:21:09.73
That stuff.
00:21:09.76\00:21:11.10
But this is the...
00:21:11.13\00:21:12.47
Oh, boy.
00:21:12.50\00:21:13.84
Candy?
00:21:13.87\00:21:15.20
So what does that do for you?
00:21:15.24\00:21:16.57
Well, it has
peanuts first in it.
00:21:16.60\00:21:18.24
Oh, peanuts.
00:21:18.27\00:21:20.01
Then it has sugar. Sugar, okay.
00:21:20.04\00:21:21.91
How much vitamins and minerals
00:21:21.94\00:21:23.55
does that have in
it there and fiber,
00:21:23.58\00:21:25.31
does it have some of that too?
00:21:25.35\00:21:27.52
Oh, it says it has 2
grams of fat, 250 calories.
00:21:27.55\00:21:32.69
Two hundred and
fifty calories, okay.
00:21:32.72\00:21:34.92
So maybe I better
not eat that right now.
00:21:34.96\00:21:38.89
You better save it till
after your dinner anyway.
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.16
Well, then I just...
00:21:41.20\00:21:42.56
Since I don't
have any energy anyway,
00:21:42.60\00:21:44.03
I might as well have
some of this, don't you think?
00:21:44.07\00:21:45.40
Perhaps little coffee.
00:21:45.43\00:21:46.77
Sure, sure.
00:21:46.80\00:21:48.14
And, of course,
00:21:48.17\00:21:49.50
this is my
breakfast for tomorrow.
00:21:49.54\00:21:50.87
Instant breakfast for tomorrow.
00:21:50.91\00:21:52.67
Sure, get me going,
five minutes at least.
00:21:52.71\00:21:54.94
Right.
00:21:54.98\00:21:56.31
Well, I'll tell you,
00:21:56.34\00:21:58.75
you should go take a class
00:21:58.78\00:22:02.85
on how to take
care of your body.
00:22:02.88\00:22:05.82
Oh, well then, I have
one more thing though.
00:22:05.85\00:22:07.92
Oh, you have one
more thing there, huh?
00:22:07.96\00:22:09.29
Yes. Uh-Oh.
00:22:09.32\00:22:10.66
It's a hot afternoon.
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.03
And I'm...
00:22:12.06\00:22:13.40
Just want my cool
drink, don't you think?
00:22:13.43\00:22:14.76
The most popular drink
around, Pepsi and Coke, huh?
00:22:14.80\00:22:18.43
Sure.
00:22:18.47\00:22:19.80
Well, we're not
going to go through
00:22:19.83\00:22:21.17
making you feel bad
about all the things,
00:22:21.20\00:22:22.77
this is a typical American
way of eating, I can see that.
00:22:22.80\00:22:27.18
You've just kind of
watched a lot of the commercials
00:22:27.21\00:22:29.61
and just sort of...
00:22:29.64\00:22:31.25
I just ran in the grocery
store and snatched up the stuff,
00:22:31.28\00:22:33.78
so I could run out real
fast and go on with life.
00:22:33.82\00:22:37.35
Well, I'll tell you something,
00:22:37.39\00:22:38.72
I found a lot of really
good things in the store too,
00:22:38.75\00:22:41.02
but I guess I
must have gone down
00:22:41.06\00:22:42.39
some different
aisles than you did.
00:22:42.42\00:22:44.23
Well, I hope you
can show me a better way
00:22:44.26\00:22:46.03
than what I've got in this bag.
00:22:46.06\00:22:48.16
Well, let me see if I
can. See if I can convince you.
00:22:48.20\00:22:51.17
So I'll take mine away
so you have room for yours.
00:22:51.20\00:22:53.70
Well, I'll have room.
00:22:53.74\00:22:56.47
This is bread,
00:22:56.50\00:22:57.84
but this is a little different
kind of bread than yours.
00:22:57.87\00:22:59.61
You know, you can
try pushing my bread,
00:22:59.64\00:23:01.68
but it's got substance,
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.21
you know, you
might say substance.
00:23:03.24\00:23:04.58
It's brown too.
00:23:04.61\00:23:05.95
Oh, it is brown, it's heavy too.
00:23:05.98\00:23:07.75
And actually it
has whole wheat in it,
00:23:07.78\00:23:10.95
and sprouted grains, and it's...
00:23:10.99\00:23:14.26
Try squeezing that. Okay.
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.22
See how nice and hardy that is.
00:23:16.26\00:23:17.59
It doesn't even have
sugar first on it though.
00:23:17.63\00:23:20.16
You know, it has a
little bit of rice.
00:23:20.20\00:23:22.93
It's quite high in fiber.
00:23:22.96\00:23:24.50
It feels very solid, and
like it might fill me up.
00:23:24.53\00:23:27.37
Yeah, it's good.
00:23:27.40\00:23:28.74
You should try it
sometime because it's excellent.
00:23:28.77\00:23:30.54
Okay.
00:23:30.57\00:23:31.91
Oh, boy, I have all these
green things, lots of veggies.
00:23:31.94\00:23:33.41
What is that green stuff?
00:23:33.44\00:23:34.84
This is vegetables,
celery, we have a lot of celery.
00:23:34.88\00:23:37.68
I went down the produce aisle
00:23:37.71\00:23:39.21
because these
dark green vegetables,
00:23:39.25\00:23:41.48
you know, they're
anti-cancer foods,
00:23:41.52\00:23:43.79
they keep you
from getting cancer.
00:23:43.82\00:23:45.15
They have the...
00:23:45.19\00:23:46.52
These are some
of the cruciferous
00:23:46.55\00:23:47.89
vegetables here,
00:23:47.92\00:23:49.26
got some nice bananas,
00:23:49.29\00:23:51.09
that's good for your
breakfast and your lunch,
00:23:51.13\00:23:53.86
and these beautiful tomatoes.
00:23:53.90\00:23:55.83
Now these foods
here have lots of fiber
00:23:55.86\00:23:58.87
and they're low in calories.
00:23:58.90\00:24:00.27
These are mostly like,
you know, high calorie foods,
00:24:00.30\00:24:03.30
and refined fats,
and things like that.
00:24:03.34\00:24:07.18
Well, here's some nice sugar.
00:24:07.21\00:24:08.54
You've got your
sugar and your candy bar,
00:24:08.58\00:24:10.01
these are raisins.
00:24:10.05\00:24:11.38
I put these in my
sandwich with my peanut butter,
00:24:11.41\00:24:14.25
this whole wheat bread
with some peanut butter
00:24:14.28\00:24:16.12
and raisins, that's
really crunchy good sandwich.
00:24:16.15\00:24:19.95
Oh, here's more good
fruits, apples, and oranges.
00:24:19.99\00:24:25.63
For cereal, I
have some cereal too.
00:24:25.66\00:24:28.33
This is
multigrain flakes cereal.
00:24:28.36\00:24:31.23
All right, what
does yours say on it?
00:24:31.27\00:24:32.87
Oh, look here, even had
the pyramid on the back,
00:24:32.90\00:24:35.30
isn't that wonderful?
00:24:35.34\00:24:36.91
And this says, it's
made from whole grains,
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.77
and it's kind of a mixture.
00:24:39.81\00:24:41.14
So this one here has brown rice,
00:24:41.18\00:24:44.35
and a grain called spelt,
00:24:44.38\00:24:46.95
and rolled oats,
and rolled barley,
00:24:46.98\00:24:49.32
and for the sweetening it
has fruit juice concentrate.
00:24:49.35\00:24:52.42
But that does sound
different than mine.
00:24:52.45\00:24:54.76
And for my hot
drink, instead of coffee,
00:24:54.79\00:24:56.89
I have a non
caffeinated drink here.
00:24:56.93\00:25:01.13
And for my heart's cereal,
00:25:01.16\00:25:03.26
instead of my
instant breakfast like that,
00:25:03.30\00:25:05.90
I can microwave
these oats in two minutes
00:25:05.93\00:25:08.44
and have a bowl of
oatmeal with raisins.
00:25:08.47\00:25:11.31
We have some nuts here,
these are almonds for protein.
00:25:11.34\00:25:15.48
We also have some garbanzo beans
00:25:15.51\00:25:17.38
that can make nice
sandwich spreads out of these,
00:25:17.41\00:25:19.85
and cook with
different things with garbanzos.
00:25:19.88\00:25:23.92
Peanut butter, this
is the old fashioned
00:25:23.95\00:25:26.09
natural butter here.
00:25:26.12\00:25:28.56
I love that stuff.
I grew up eating that.
00:25:28.59\00:25:31.23
Lentils, that some kind of beans
00:25:31.26\00:25:32.96
if the case you
don't know what they are.
00:25:32.99\00:25:34.33
That is kind of
brown, what are they?
00:25:34.36\00:25:35.80
Well, these are
really good protein food
00:25:35.83\00:25:37.77
that you can eat for
dinner like beans, you know.
00:25:37.80\00:25:41.67
You can even put
them in your tacos.
00:25:41.70\00:25:44.24
And, of course,
we have brown rice
00:25:44.27\00:25:46.47
instead of your white rice.
00:25:46.51\00:25:48.91
And instead of big
bag of potato chips,
00:25:48.94\00:25:51.91
this is a potato.
00:25:51.95\00:25:53.28
We bake our potatoes or
actually, you know, some...
00:25:53.31\00:25:55.85
I know, I could make a
recipe for French fries
00:25:55.88\00:25:58.92
without all that fat
but tastes really good,
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.92
and I just choose
these potatoes right here,
00:26:00.96\00:26:03.69
and instead of my Coke,
00:26:03.73\00:26:05.36
I have this
wonderful grape juice here.
00:26:05.39\00:26:08.26
And so I think if you
would compare the cost
00:26:08.30\00:26:11.70
of your grocery bag with mine,
00:26:11.73\00:26:14.17
you'd probably find
out that you could eat
00:26:14.20\00:26:16.64
even more economically
on a plant-based diet,
00:26:16.67\00:26:20.58
eating God's way
than you can eating
00:26:20.61\00:26:23.68
your all-American junk food way.
00:26:23.71\00:26:25.75
You ought to try it sometime.
00:26:25.78\00:26:27.22
Do you think I could
just come to your house
00:26:27.25\00:26:28.58
and eat all the time then?
00:26:28.62\00:26:30.45
Well, for a while you could.
00:26:30.49\00:26:32.15
Oh, okay.
00:26:32.19\00:26:33.52
Until I can get you
going at your own home.
00:26:33.56\00:26:34.96
Oh, thank you.
00:26:34.99\00:26:36.32
I'm so pleased
00:26:36.36\00:26:37.69
to have a nice
friend like you to help me.
00:26:37.73\00:26:39.46
Well, thank you equally,
00:26:39.49\00:26:40.93
I hope that you
will become strong soon.
00:26:40.96\00:26:45.53
Thank you, I'll try.
00:26:45.57\00:26:46.90
So actually eating God's way
is a different kind of staples
00:26:46.94\00:26:50.41
that you need to
bring into your home
00:26:50.44\00:26:52.74
and try to kind of
get past those aisles
00:26:52.77\00:26:55.01
in the supermarket that
have all those tempting,
00:26:55.04\00:26:57.11
refined,
high-calorie, cholesterol,
00:26:57.15\00:26:59.81
kind of fatty foods
00:26:59.85\00:27:01.18
that are not
going to provide you
00:27:01.22\00:27:03.79
with God's way of eating.
00:27:03.82\00:27:05.95
Now the last principle
of healthy menu planning
00:27:05.99\00:27:10.99
is to keep a
running grocery list.
