Shank (god help us all I am referring to myself in the third person) is pissed! The target of my tapioca inspired rage Jerry Novack? Dr. Freaking Oz and his entire fitness empire! My insane rant for tonight was about Jesus and his diet: doctoroz/videos/what-would-jesus-eat-science-within-bible This is an incredibly poorly researched article. Jesus grew up impoverished as did most of the people who lived in that part of the world at that time. He would have been subject to numerous periods of starvation. He would have eaten an incredibly non nutritious diet. Jesus would have had a small frame, a small head, in essence he would have been incredibly undersized due to the poor nutrient density of his diet much like we see in people who grow up in third world countries who are also very short and have small frames. Archeological evidence from Galilee during that time shows overwhelming evidence of this. People in Jesuss time had poor bone health and numerous markers of malnutrition which lead to way less than optimal health. Their diets were not nutritious or satisfying. They ate this way not because of a lack of refrigeration or inherent wisdom or being clean (in reality most of their food would have been very dirty), they ate this way because they were poor as dirt, heavily taxed, incredibly oppressed by the romans and their own people. In essence they had no other choice. The whole teeth thing doesnt even deserve an argument. Fire which led to cooking which led to better food processing is the answer. Early man had a huge jaws and teeth because he had none of these things. Those smaller teeth are the product of millions of years of physical and cultural evolution, not a body designed not to eat meat. Next time you show me a lion at a stove top cooking and then eating his store bought and butchered steak, with a knife and fork no less, I will begin to respect this argument. Our digestive tracts are halfway between that of horses/cows and dogs/cats which means we were designed to eat both sources of food so the whole gut length argument is invalid too. No mention of constipation in the bible? Are you serious? Sure, when I am trying to teach a huge group of people how to keep from killing each other, when writing went as quickly at paint drying on the wall, let me waste some time including stories of getting stuck on the toilet. Fast 12 hours in a row at night? Eat your last meal at 4 p.m. All that is is calorie control with a heaping lump of nonsense added in make people forget they are practicing, you guessed it, calorie control. Good luck with that when your starving your brains out at 11 p.m. and you binge on an entire bag of oreos. People in jesuss time didnt have this problem because when they starved they had no choice, nor any oreos. This is so sad. Please do the responsible thing and take this piece down.
