Daniel fast or diet
Basically, you want to avoid the King's food. Some might sum it up to say that you shouldn't have the King's Burgers or fries. You should probably avoid the golden arches as well. However, many fast food restaurants now have good salads. We often eat ours with salt for dressing.
To avoid the king's food means that we are definitely avoiding all those things that the Jews couldn't eat. We're also avoiding foods that only royalty in ancient days could afford. It wasn't until recent history that most Americans could afford to eat meat or poultry. Today, in most of the world, very few people can afford to eat any kind of meat or processed foods, like the foods in this list. Send us your questions or ideas of foods to avoid.
- Meat, because Daniel didn't want to take the chance of eating non-kosher meat and/or meat that was offered to idols.
- white flour and all products using it
- white rice, white bread, hominy and pasta
- fried foods
- caffeine
- carbonated beverages, including diet sodas
- Wine or any other alcoholic drinks
- foods containing preservatives or additives
- refined sugar
- high fructose corn syrup
- chemical sugar substitutes
- margarine, shortening, animal fat, high fat products
