<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PLEASE do not be mistaken about this teaching of HOW TO EAT TO LIVE, in a world in which you can get everything to eat, from the low and most unwanted creature of the earth, all the way back to human beings themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This world eats anything and everything. They eat both good foods and bad foods and they always try to establish some new food or new style of preparing new foods.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do not try to keep up with them in their way of teaching, lest you find yourself keeping up with them to the graveyard. You do not have to take anything that the White race says for truth. The answer can be found in our own lives—doctor and patient lived about an equal length of time. This shows that their way of teaching you and me, is that of “hill of mountain.” You will not live as long as a hill or mountain. Your life is short and you follow their way. 75, 80, and 90 years is nothing to what you should be living, if you only knew the right kind of food that you should eat and abide by the rules and teachings of that type of food.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We suffer with many ailments due to the improper foods and the improper time to eat. You have no regularity about when you are going to eat. Then your sickness—the consequences of an ignorant way of eating—will also have no regularity about it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The patient can be made to enjoy better health while having sickness and disease, if he eats at the proper time and eats the proper foods. Follow the right way of HOW TO EAT TO LIVE.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A HIGH percentage of blood sugar is a very dominate thing among the people but that blood sugar can be controlled, if you eat right. You will not even know that you had it, or that it is in you. We must eat the foods that will destroy sickness and disease.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">EAT one (1) meal per day and do not eat the food that you know is against you. If you do not know what foods are against you, please write to me and tell me what you are eating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SUGAR—you eat too much sugar that is why we are troubled with diabetes. We eat too much starchy foods.&nbsp; Lay off of all those sugar and starchy foods and just eat common food.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">EAT one (1) meal every twenty-four hours and if you do, you will write to me and tell me that you have been relieved of many of the ailments that you suffered with, while you were eating three (3) meals a day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lay off of drugs that are supposed to stimulate your appetite, and which cause you to over-eat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IT IS unnecessary for you to try to eat, or even to taste all kinds of food. Eat the food that is good for you, then you will feel well, as a person should. Many of our ailments can be cured if we eat right. Stay away from drugs because the drugs themselves can kill you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">USE NO DRUGS to keep blood-sugar down. Just eat right. Stop eating sugar and starches and the sugar in your blood will clear up. I know because I have self- experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LAY off of starchy food and eat foods that contain protein.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN ENJOY GOOD HEALTH WHILE EATING THREE (3) MEALS PER DAY.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The importance of enjoying good health is obeying the teachings of God (Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises is due forever), and that is eating one meal once every 24 hours (one meal a day).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IT IS NOT SO much eating various kinds of food as it is not eating food of any kind too often. Of course, we know the divinely prohibited flesh of the swine is totally forbidden not only to eat, but we are even forbidden to touch or handle the swine. It is punishable under the law of God to eat the swine.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="313" height="575" src="https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7-2637365469-68da2d0409454.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-131184" srcset="https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7-2637365469-68da2d0409454.jpg 313w, https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7-2637365469-68da2d0409454-163x300.jpg 163w, https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7-2637365469-68da2d0409454-229x420.jpg 229w" sizes="(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Pexels.com</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the readers may think that it is all right with God for them to do as they please about His Laws, but we are punished for willfully disobeying the Laws of God, regardless how little the offense may be or how great it may be.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Christians have been eating the swine for four thousand years. Now, their punishment is total destruction by fire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">THE White RACE was not made to obey the divine law. They were made to oppose it, therefore following after them and doing what they do is getting you the hell. It is no excuse for you. The average so-called Negro thinks it is all right for him to do evil too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, we are two different people. The so-called American Negro is a divine member lost from the divine circle, while the slave master, who has been his teacher, is an enemy to God, by nature. This is why the Bible teaches you that hell was created for them the day they were made.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meat will not prolong our lives—it will cut life short. The White race lives on this type of food, meat—animal flesh. The carnivorous beasts and birds who live off of flesh and eat others, have short lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">VEGETABLES, MILK AND</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BUTTER are the right foods to eat, when they are pure. But my Dear Brothers and Sisters, do not think that you are getting pure products now from the dairy. Substitutions are added to butter, and much water is added to the milk.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, do not practice the evil things that the White race is doing, as you are following them now. If they pull off their clothes, you will pull off yours. Do not think you have an option of doing divine law, while you do not? A doom is set for the whole race of them and you will share their doom with them, if you follow eating and drinking intoxicating drinks just because you see them doing such things and going nude in the public (women with dresses above their knees and men wearing just trunks in public).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">YOU ARE FOLLOWING one of the filthiest things that even an animal wouldn’t follow, by doing such things. White people do this to tempt you to do the same so that you can share hell fire with them. Eat one meal a day and eat good food.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To live without sickness and without fear of a short span of life is now a must for the people who expect to see the Hereafter. The way that God, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad (to Whom praises are due forever), is teaching us (the lost-found members of the aboriginal nation) is the best way; regardless of what it is. Whether it concerns food, mental stability, or what have you, He teaches us in the best way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I offer you His teachings, and it is up to you to accept or reject them. But, I repeat, His is the best way as He says in His Holy Qur&#8217;an, “I Allah am the Best Knower” (Chapter 2, Verse 1). Since He represents Himself as the Best Knower, then it is nothing but intelligence on our part to follow and obey that Best Knower Who gives the best advice and Whose guidance is best for our future regardless of what we desire. He is the best Knower of what guidance we should have.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many disbelievers, infidels, and atheists today as the Bible teaches: the fool has said in his heart that there is no God. These ignorant sayings and attacks made against truth go for nothing today but condemnation with truth. (We do not have the type of God that they were taught of: some spook God and man. But, there are supreme men among man and this Supreme One is referred to as God, having infinite wisdom and knowledge over all things.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There will be no sickness or disease among us when we learn and obey the law of nature. The law of nature is the divine law the Creator set for us in the beginning of the creation of the universe. This race (White) of people has ignored and disobeyed this law and has met with disaster. They seek, and have tried throughout their civilization, to change the very natural religion of the Black man.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, time has proved that the White man was a failure and now has met his unnatural and false teachings and practices with truth and reality of the law of nature and its workings among the created creatures of God. This law is now to defend us against the false guidance and rebelling of this race (White).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let the White man eat all the hog he wants. It was made for him, not for us. It was made for a cure for many of their diseases and is used for salves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to enjoy good health, eat only once a day and nothing between meals if you are not sick. There is an allowance made for the sick ones who, sometimes, are not able to eat enough at one meal to take them over to the next meal, or whose bodies are weak and must be built up for the one meal a day. In this case, they sometimes eat two meals a day, but never three.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you can eat one meal every other day, you will enjoy both health and a longer life. Even the men and women who do strenuous mental work can go along with one meal a day if they eat the proper food and never want more than that.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As many people are writing to me for personal answers as to what we should and should not eat, I think it would lessen my work and be wise if you kept this book where you may refer to it when needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of my followers write and tell me of the results they are receiving from eating one meal a day or one meal every other day. This will produce good results and lengthen our lives. But children should not be forced to fast or to eat once a day or once every other day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Children and babies should eat at least twice a day. If you are now eating three meals a day and you would like to eat one meal every other day, you should not–all of a sudden–change from three meals a day, every day, to one meal every other day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First drop to two meals a day, then one meal a day, and then one meal every other day. It is better to do it this way so that you will not make yourself sick. And if you eat every other day, do not begin your meal with heavy food.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I receive many questions in regard to meat, fish, and poultry. The main thing Allah, as well as the Holy Qur&#8217;an, reminds us of is that when it comes to meat and fish, Allah forbids us to eat the flesh of swine or of fish weighing 50 pounds or more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although some people will not eat fish at all, there are many fish that we can eat; some weighing as little as a pound or a pound and a half.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When eating fish, we should confine our fish-eating to those fish weighing between one and ten pounds. As I said previously do not eat the scavengers of the sea such as oysters, crabs, clams, snails, shrimp, eels, or catfish.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The catfish is a very filthy fish. He loves filth and is the pig of the water. Some people write in, complaining about the fish that swim on their sides, but these fish can be eaten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allah has taught me that chickens are not good for us to eat. They are quite filthy (inasmuch as they do not eat the cleanest of food), but we eat them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We eat beef and lamb; but Allah also said that they are not very good for us. It is not a sin for us to eat them. It is not a sin for us to eat camels. But if we can find better food, we should not eat the above mentioned food. Many write and ask if they should eat meat at all. It is not a sin for you to eat meat, but it is a sin for you to eat the meat of the hog.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we want to prolong our lives, it is best that we do not eat meat or do not eat it so often. Beef is very coarse and many of our people do not eat it because of that. Horsemeat can also be eaten. It is cleaner than the average meat. But we should not eat it unless we are extremely hungry and have nothing else to eat because it is a domestic animal and is gentle and close to the home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is not even a sin to eat rabbit. But since Allah said that the rabbit is so closely related to the house cat, we do not eat it. The rabbit, however, is cleaner than the house cat because he eats vegetables, roots and herbs and he does not eat insects or other animals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allah has said that no wild game should be eaten at all. Regardless of how you love deer meat, the deer is not good to eat. No game that run wild in the woods or birds that fly, with the exception of baby pigeons, called squabs, that have never flown away from the nest where they were born, should be eaten. Please do not eat coons, possums, turtles, turtle eggs, or frog legs. None of these are good for us.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong> </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pork or pig, all its parts and by-products, has been a chief food for the so-called American Negro since the days of his physical bondage. The pig was not made for human consumption. The pig is the chief cause of many of the ills and mental deficiencies occurring among the so-called American Negroes and any other people who eat it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The pig is a mass of worms. Each mouthful you eat is not a nutritious food but a mass of small worms the naked eye cannot detect. Worms thrive in the hog. When these worms are digested into your system, they cause a high birth rate to hundreds of new worms called larvae which travels the blood stream of your system and lodge in your muscles. These worms even enter your brain, lungs or your spinal fluid. They cause muscular aches, fever and many other symptoms of sickness. The worm has an amazing ability to go undetected in your system for many years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The scientific name for the ill-causing worm found in all pork is Trichinella spiralis which causes trichinosis.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite what veterinarians, public health officials, the Agricultural Department or your doctor say, the best defense against the pig is DO NOT EAT IT! When you do eat it, you do not hurt God, His Messenger, the Muslim or anyone else. You hurt yourself. Thorough and slow cooking of pork does not remove the danger of the worms found in all pork. Additional cooking of pork purchased in the summer or processed pork products does not make the worm-infested pork safe for eating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inspection and governmental seals on pork do not remove the danger of the worms yet in the pork to make it safe for you to eat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some say never taste raw sausage or any raw pork. It is best not to eat pork, raw, processed, cooked, smoked, cured or seasoned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are what you eat, so why not eat the best and be the best. Do not allow this rotten, diseased meat to be sold in your neighborhoods or brought into your homes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pork is often referred to as “cured.” The word “cured” is the past tense of the verb “cure.” If a meat has to be cured before we eat it, we should not even take the chance to eat it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Bible and the Holy Qur&#8217;an, it is the Divine will of God that the pig should not be eaten and God has never changed this instruction, despite the White man&#8217;s setting up governmental bureaus to grade and approve the selling of pork.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The so-called Negroes should ban this meat from their communities and all those who sell and eat it!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since being given knowledge by the All-Wise One in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad on “How To Eat To Live,” we should not confuse ourselves by studying the advice of all the people, doctors, and quacks of the world on what kind of medicine, vegetables, meats, herbs, and fruits we should eat. If we keep getting advice on the above after getting the correct advice, we will never enjoy good health. All will be confusion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I mentioned earlier, nearly all vegetables are good to eat that have been classified by the scientists who have studied the poisons that the vegetables contain as well as the non-poisons they contain. We do not need to eat everything just because the Bible (in Genesis) said that Adam (who represents the White race) could eat nearly all of the herbs of the earth (that are not poisonous). Our scientists teach us of that which is poisonous and of that which is not poisonous.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we are travelers and are stranded, we eat whatever we can find edible, to non-poisonous roots and the bark off trees. But this is not good for us if we wish to live a long time because our stomachs are not made to digest the bark off trees and roots of trees or blades of grass and leaves.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-large"><img decoding="async" width="355" height="295" src="https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/grapes.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-66946" srcset="https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/grapes.jpg 355w, https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/grapes-300x249.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our stomachs were not made to live off raw foods, except certain raw foods such as fruits, which—beyond a shadow of a doubt—should be eaten raw and never cooked. When we cook fruit, it takes away the vital property that is necessary for our good health. An apple (or peaches or berries) is better eaten raw than cooked, unless our health and body are weak and unable to digest the raw apple.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is a great need for knowledge on what to cook as well as how to cook it. We can live a long, great and healthy life by just drinking good, wholesome milk and eating good whole wheat bread if the bread is cooked correctly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some people will eat whole wheat kernel. But, this is not good to do because it is the hull of the seed and our stomachs are not made to digest the raw wheat seeds, regardless of the great property of vitamins in them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The whole wheat kernel should be milled and ground very fine. When you are ready to make bread, add water and yeast to it and set it aside to sour. This will put it in a better digestive state to be cooked properly for your stomach to digest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cook it slowly after it has risen a couple of times in the mold; this must be done thoroughly so that all of the risen cake or loaf is thoroughly cooked through and through under the heat of the oven. After it is cooked, do not eat it until it has set a day or two; even three days is not too long to wait for it. It is never stale because of age if kept in the right place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Never eat freshly cooked bread of any kind, as it is difficult for the stomach to digest. The same applies to beans and whatever you eat; cook them thoroughly. But, do not cook them in such a way as to destroy the vitamins or proteins that are in them to strengthen and build your bodies and the tissues of your bodies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some people pull the brown crust off the bread to eat the unbrowned core. But by doing this you are throwing away the most digestible part of the bread and accepting that part which is hard to digest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Toast that is browned through and through is much easier on our stomachs than the slice of bread that is not toasted. We can live longer by eating several varieties of foods.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Never think that you are a great, healthy person just because you eat a lot of meat, white bread, corn bread, sweet pastry, or a lot of peas and beans. You are only taking a quick trip to the cemetery.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What food does Allah (God) suggest? He suggests the food that is good for us and does not make us ill. Food that is for human consumption and not for animals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Never before have we gone so far astray. The European White race, blessed with the privilege of eating the best food the earth provides, has taught us to eat the worst (divinely prohibited) food. We eat all the time, three and four times a day. This is enough to wear out the intestines of a brass monkey.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eat a single meal a day, no matter what anyone says. If your doctor says that you should eat more than one meal a day, ignore him with a smile, and eat only once a day. If he tells you he eats three meals a day, tell him that his length of life is about the same as his patients. Then, tell the doctor to try eating one meal a day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more idle our stomachs are, the longer they will last. The more we tax our stomach, the sooner it wears out. We all try to live as long as we can because nature never teaches us that we should not try to live. We do not have a nature that teaches us to die, or teaches of life somewhere else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No matter how staunch a believer the Christian may be in a life after the grave, if he gets sick, he sends for the doctor. He prays to stay on here and not to go to the unknown.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To live a long time, Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, has taught me life must begin with the type of food that will prolong life. We have been talking about bread. There are people so poor they have no choice, and there are some so rich who still have no choice.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="247" src="https://new.finalcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/food_market_gr1_1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-52789"/></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whole wheat bread, cooked thoroughly, is the best bread. It should be ground very fine. It can be ground almost as fine as its white kernel. Never eat corn bread. As I said, rye bread is all right for the hardworking man. Even at that, it should be cooked twice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Christian civilization has taught the so-called Negro slave to eat freshly baked bread, white biscuits or white rolls, just out of the oven, and it scorns old bread, which is better for the stomach than freshly baked bread or cakes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many foods we would like to teach you not to eat, but at present so many of you cannot avoid eating them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We must prepare and grow our own food, because this is a highly commercialized world. They graft a lot of food, and some of this food is not good for our stomachs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Soy bean flour is very rich, and not good for our stomachs. Our stomachs are too delicate for soy bean flour, therefore, leave those beans alone. The animals, especially cattle and hogs, love them. Grind them up and they will eat them. They are very high in protein. The lima bean is another large bean advertised by the devil for you to eat. which will almost burst the lining of the stomach and intestines of a Texas bull. They said &#8220;that one is good for the nigger.&#8221; Do not eat the smaller ones, either, the ones they call &#8220;baby lima beans&#8221; (baby belly busters).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pastries and cakes &#8212; the kind made with crusts of white flour and sweetened with white sugar, so sweet you can still taste them the next day, are not good for our stomachs. All this hastens you to the graveyard sooner than you would like to go. We should eat fruit and fruit pies. I love that little black blueberry pie; huckleberry, as we call it in the South. But do not make it with white sugar or crusts of white flour. Use brown sugar and whole wheat flour for your pie and cobbler crusts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apples are better when eaten raw than when made into pies. This goes for pears, peaches and bananas. All fruit is better for you raw than cooked. When fruit is raw, we get the benefit of its natural vitamins. If possible, never eat cooked fruit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you must eat meat, always eat the cleanest, such as healthy and tuberculosis free beef. The lamb is the best. Most beef is too coarse for our stomachs. The lamb is a much finer grained meat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eat small young pigeons (squabs) which have never flown from their nests. Do not eat any bird that has been free to fly around and look for its own food. This is the teaching of Allah to me. Chickens are not fit to eat. You have to nurse them so carefully to keep them away from filth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you would like to find good food, such as lamb, beef or even chicken, if you are a Muslim, buy it from the strictly Orthodox Jew. Be certain it is an Orthodox kosher market, because some Jews eat the pig. Orthodox Jews are excellent in protecting their health, even spiritually trying to do and eat like their prophet Mossa (Moses) taught them through the Divine teachings of Allah. If you respect yourselves as Muslims, the spiritual Orthodox Jew will respect you. Of course, no one will respect you unless you respect yourself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do not buy the Christians&#8217; ready prepared ground meats, or any ready ground meat. Buy the quality meats that you like, and have them ground by the kosher butchers, through their meat grinders, because they do not have the pig near their shops. They are like us, they hate the divinely Prohibited flesh. If you must eat rice please brown it thoroughly in your oven or on top of your stove with a little butter or Oil to keep it from Sticking. Keep stirring it vigorously. Remember, eat only one meal, once every 24 hours.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The safest way of all to eat is to stop eating so often (three meals a day and meals between those three meals). In the past, our appetites were as the appetites of swine. The swine has no certain time to eat. It will eat until it is sick and has to lie down, but as soon as it finds a vacancy in its stomach, it eats more food. It doesn&#8217;t matter what kind of food it may be; the swine eats anything. The swine&#8217;s life is very short, because it comes here eating itself to death, and death soon takes it away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We eat too much and too often, and we eat the wrong food (poisonous foods). Most of our drinks are poisonous.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allah has blessed America with the best of foods and with good water that is plentiful. America has been blessed with everything that she could desire, but after all of these blessings, she is ungrateful and turns good things into bad, and wages a war against the God of good and His people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After telling the slaves they were free, America kept them here in order to prey upon them. Now today, many of the slaves wish to be free of America, but her reply by her actions to our wanting to be free is “no.” And America continues to give the so-called Negroes the same bad food and drink that her (America&#8217;s) fathers did in the days of slavery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">America&#8217;s markets are loaded with swine, and loaded with vegetables and fruits which are preserved and made to look beautiful by having poisonous chemicals poured upon them. There are thousands, and hundreds of thousands of herds of cattle and sheep and there are hundreds of thousands of fowls. Yet, Americans decorate their tables with the divinely-prohibited flesh–the swine–and represent themselves as being the true Christian followers of Jesus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Americans have poisonous whiskey and wine by the barrels and vats all over the country, yet when this does not make them intoxicated (drunk) and crazy enough, they resort to drugs (the poisonous weeds).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allah has blessed them wih so much bread that they set whole fields of good wheat on fire. They burn up the wheat in order to obtain higher prices for it. They are crazy over money and wealth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now today, Allah threatens America with all kinds of plagues–not one kind, but many kinds. Allah withholds the rains from her wheat fields; sends terrific cold and snow upon her fertile bread basket areas; kills her cattle, livestock and fowls; and kills her fish that are inland in ponds and rivers, with droughts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of these plagues are falling upon America because she is against God&#8217;s giving freedom, justice, and equality to the so-called Negroes, whose labor she has had for 400 years. Because of America&#8217;s having broken the Divine Law, which prohibits eating swine flesh, and because of her having fed this forbidden meat to her slaves and to other nations of the earth, Allah (God) is now taking His blessings away from her.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no question. If we eat right, we live. If we eat the wrong foods, it shortens our lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of us actually wish that we could live a thousand years, but be happy if you scale a hundred. The fact about it is you will not want to live too long (into the thousands of years). You will have nothing to attract you. You will have probably learned everything on the earth, and will have no place to go for attraction. Since you are on the earth, you cannot live elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One meal a day and nothing between that one meal will get you a longer life, that is if you eat the proper food. We make ourselves sick. Do not think that sickness is something that just comes by itself, regardless to how we live. It is the way we live that makes us sick. I have experienced these things. If we do not eat the right foods to live, and do not eat it at the time that we should eat it, and eat before it is time; we will not live long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stay away from poison foods, such as pig (swine flesh). Do not eat it. Do not even touch its carcass. No swine flesh eater shall see the Hereafter; for in the Hereafter, there will be no pigs on the earth. They will be killed off. The swine was not made for Black People. It was made only for the White race. And, the White race teaches everybody to eat it, because it is a Divinely prohibited flesh; and they break all the Laws of God, because they are not supposed to obey the Laws of God. They have their own law, because they are the gods of this world. If they would follow and obey the Law of our God, they would be Muslims like us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eat one meal a day, and do not try to eat everything edible in that one meal. There is enough good food for you and me, for us to never eat other than good food. Eat to live.</p>
