DIETARY LAWS

In the Hebrew Israelite culture there are only certain foods that can be eaten according to dietary laws in the Torah (first five books). This dietary law was given to Moses and Aaron at Mt. Sinai which are found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, to say to the Children of Israel. These are biblical laws that anyone could observe when putting their mind to do so. Animals that are described as unclean in the Torah are scavengers, they eat Carrion (dead and decaying flesh of an animal) Carrion begins to decay the moment of the animal's death it will increasingly attract insects and breed bacteria. By avoiding these animals as food, we also avoid ingesting their toxic waste and their parasites. Pork and Shellfish are two of the most commonly eaten unclean foods in our society and research has shown that these foods are unclean and their consumption unnecessarily attacks our immune system with wastes. Unclean animals are poisonous to the human system which will have a detrimental effect upon our health. It is clear that any "clean" food that comes in contact with a grill an oven, a pot, a utensil or a stove that has an unclean carcass on it or has ever had an unclean carcass on it shall be unclean.

Leviticus 11:32-35

"And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. And every earthen vessel, whereunto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. And everything whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you."

The dietary law states that if the carcass of any unclean creeping thing or unclean animal is touched whosoever do touch them when they be dead shall be unclean until even.

Or if they be dead and they do fall and come into contact with any vessel of wood, raiment, skin. Sack what so ever every vessel it be it should be put into water and it shall be unclean until even.

Or if they fall into every EARTHEN vessel, whatever is in it shall become unclean, and you shall break it.

Or if they come in contact with an OVEN or RANGES FOR POTS, they shall be broke down and be unclean.
