Not Knowing How To Eat To Live has been the trouble with the world, for a long time .
The people have tried all kinds of food, and they are still looking for all kinds of food, for long life.
Regardless to what kind of food that you may find, and which satisfies your taste, you could kill yourself with that good food if you eat it too regularly and when the body does not need it.
Eat once a day, or eat once every other day in order to give the body time to digest the previous meal. The digestive juices of the stomach and the intestine will live longer.
The walls of the stomach and the intestine will have time to repair itself. It will give the tissues time to build and strengthen itself after the work of digesting the previous meal, if the meal was twenty four (24) , forty- eight (48) or seventy-two (72) hours ago.
How do you think Methuselah and Noah lived to be more than nine Hundred years old ? They did not eat three meals a day.
For every meal that we eat, there is a little poison in that meal. For every meal that we eat there is a little poison stored in the body. And the poison of the previous meal is added to the next meal, and the more poison that is collected, the more powerful effect the poison will have on the body.
The white race, having a limit of time to live on the earth, this makes them, by nature, to do many things that cause death to you and to me, because they know that they will not be on the planet earth except for a short time. For this reason they try to take you and me away with them while we have an unlimited time to live on the earth.
Eat one meal a day. Eat good food and pray five (5) times a day to your God and My God (Allah), Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever and you will be joined with your Black Brother, to live forever, by knowing. How to eat to live.
Elijah Muhammad
Messenger of Allah
