when we are bombarded with different health rules from every side?
My goal as a mother is to feed my family in a nutritious way,
but I have been confused by what that means today.
Recently I was cautioned against all animal products- meat and dairy.
In the past, I have been cautioned of certain oils or sugars.
I didn't know how to find what the Lord's stance is on these and other topics
that are not outlined in the Word of Wisdom.
After listening to general conference this month, I felt inspired by the talk:
Seeking The Lord by Elder Jose A. Teixeira
Where he recommends visiting the church's website frequently throughout the week.
I went on to the website to look for nutrition answers.
I followed links on their providentliving website until I found their stance on nutrition.
I LOVE IT! I downloaded the pdf to read more and I also read through the reference talks.
It is such sound advice. In summary, they stated to eat regular portions from all 6 food groups
and to follow the general nutrition specialists in your country.
So, I asked my family that day, "This is a topic where the church says to stay with the mainstream.
How do we know which things in our life we should 'stay with the mainstream'
and which things we should dare to 'Stand Alone' on?"
My wise husband raised his hand and said "FOLLOW THE PROPHET!"
If it is something the prophet is concerned about and taking a stand on, we should be as well.
