God’s Solution to Food-borne Illness

This is yet another idea that I got from the food safety forum last week (it sort of made an impression on me). One of the main causes of food-borne disease is improper sanitation, which I discussed a little bit in a previous snack (How to Change Your Mind). You could say that the point of that discussion, as it relates to sanitation in foods, is that people need to have a compassionate heart so that they care about the people that they are growing/packaging/preparing food for, and that this is the only way to ensure that they will observe proper sanitation standards. Another point accentuated in that post was that when God gives us His Spirit, He transforms our heart so that we will keep His laws. Of course God will ultimately eradicate disease of every kind, but the aim of this snack is to make the case that the current burden of food-borne disease could be greatly reduced if everyone would simply follow God’s law today.
