Thanks for your great article. As an active member of the church, I'm always amazed how meat is the center of most ward activities, contrary to D&C 89. There is even a popular primary song that says "eating very little meat." Sugar seems to be a passion as well, though not mentioned in the word of wisdom. However, the word of wisdom never says no meat, but rather to "eat meat sparingly." Personally, I eat some fish, but no beef, pork or poultry. Other than that, I eat a plant based diet. Thanks again for your excellent article. I think all church members should read it. Thanks, Geoff Smith
