I have been doing a lot of reading concerning food and diet recently. One of the things I have learned is that the wheat that is most commonly grown has been hybridized.
Many years ago we knew a banker who had owned a company that had experimented with corn. He was proud of the fact that they had manipulated corn to grow much taller, seven feet. I can’t remember his answer to my question as to whether they had increased the number of ears. Years later I learned more about the problems with hybridized plants in that their fruit usually lacked nutrition as compared to the non-hybrid or heirloom plant.
So my reading has shown that most of the original wheat crops grown in this country and most of the world have been replaced by semi-dwarf wheat, a very hybridized plant. It was heralded as the answer to the problem of starvation and promised to end hunger. It has in fact made a great stride in that direction. However now we are finding out that at the expense of having plenty of wheat we have created a monster.
This dwarf type of wheat contains Amylopectin A that spikes blood sugar and is very fattening. It also contains more Gluten proteins that cause inflammation and it is also addictive. All of this I have read from several articles. They say the inflammation is what causes many major diseases the least of which include obesity and diabetes. Also according to what I have read poly-unsaturated fats from things like margarine have a connection to cancer and the production of free radicals.
So what does all this have to do with God’s Law? The seventh commandment forbids hybridization. Thou Shall not commit adultery includes the idea of adulterating farm seed. God made everything and said it was good. Man, in his arrogance, believes that he can improve on God’s creation. God does not make arbitrary law. Much of God’s law is for our protection and our health. Man has corrupted God’s creation once again. In the book of Jasher that is one of the reasons for the flood of Genesis chapter 6. The hybridization of our food is just one aspect of this corruption.
