Christian groups have begun promoting competing, bible-based diets:
• The 'Hallelujah Diet' ("Drawn from Genesis 1:29," encourages eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds)
• The 'What Would Jesus Eat?' diet (non-animal-derived "living foods")
• The 'Weigh Down Diet' (encourages following "God's perfect boundaries of hunger and fullness")
• 'The Maker's Diet' ("Drawn from the book of Leviticus," encourages eating certain meat and dairy products and warns against an all-raw, vegan regimen)
My favorite quote comes from Rev. George Malkmus, who employed a researcher who determined that the Hallelujah diet he founded was deficient in vitamin B-12.
"This shocked me, that God's perfect eating plan could have a flaw," Malkmus said. "But we realized that fruits and vegetables back then were more nutritious because of the topsoil."
Actually, I thought G-d was pretty clear about his "perfect eating plan." It's called Kashrut.
