The Answer - All or None

 
Did you take the quiz?  Here is the answer.
 
The answer is that all these meals can be a good choice or none may be a good choice depending upon their ingredients.  This concept goes against the world’s wisdom, and may be hard to embrace at first.  The determining factor is the quality of the ingredients and how the food has been prepared.  Is it God’s food fixed God’s way?  That is the question to keep in mind at all times.  Quality, quality, quality - I cannot stress this concept enough.  It is key.
For example, wild Alaskan salmon that has been grilled or baked with an organic greens salad and a natural expeller pressed dressing is an excellent choice.  Farm-raised, GMO (genetically modified) salmon fed man-made fish food laced with antibiotics, with an lettuce salad sprayed with preservatives and an MSG laced hydrogenated dressing would fill your body with toxins and provide little nourishment.  (All salmon sold in the store is farm-raised unless labeled  ‘wild’.)
Another example, cookies made with whole grains and honey, with a glass of fresh milk is very nourishing.  Store bought cookies, loaded with sugar, with a glass of pasteurized, homogenized, low fat milk will rob nutrients from your body as these foods are digested and eliminated.
There is a wide abundance of God’s foods.  When eating God’s food, there is not a lot of restrictions, but instead you can eat and enjoy a variety of foods.   A bonus is that God’s foods are naturally delicious. How nourishing the food is all depends upon how it  was grown and processed or cooked.  You do not need to starve yourself eating God’s food, because ‘real’ foods are so packed with nutrients that your hunger is satisfied and you tend to not overeat once you go 100% and have eliminated the man-made addictive foods from your diet that control you (like processed sugars, white flour, cheap fats, etc).
So be encouraged that eating healthy foods can taste great and be fun!  If you need some more encouragement, be sure to read about my son Tom's life-changing experience in 2nd grade.
