Jane Birch researched the LDS Word of Wisdom health code to learn what Jesus Christ has told us regarding the food we eat. She compiled her findings into a book which was released in 2013. You can read her story here.
I bought a PDF copy of her book a year ago. The first thing I read once I got my copy were the five pages of praise from people who have embraced her findings, and the wonderful changes they’ve experienced since doing so. And the very first one was from Dr. John McDougall himself, who said this—
“The importance of diet is so fundamental to human survival and success that many of the world’s religions have strongly encouraged their followers to eat a near vegan diet. Dr. Jane Birch has made an important contribution by retelling the truths about nutrition found in the Word of Wisdom in modern day language relevant to the reader.”
—John A. McDougall, MD, author and founder of the McDougall Program
• What the Lord has said about the eating of animals—
Doctrine & Covenants Section 89, verses 12-13
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
