HOW TO EA T AND LIVE by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
Eat one meal a day or one meal every
two days, if you are able. If you eat the
proper food and not poison food and
drink, you will prolong your life, make
yourself youthful, and you will keep
away sickness and suffering (even colds),
said Allah to me in the Person of Master
Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are
due forever.
Keep the body and the mind clean. Do
good to self and to others. Keep away
from evil and remember Allah always,
and He Who came in the Person of
Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom
praises are due forever, will remember
you. But, you must eat pure food (the
food that Allah has pointed out to us to
eat) and stay away from that which He
forbids us to eat, such as swine flesh (the
hog).
I will be a happy man when I see the
day that our Black people forsake the
hog. This divinely prohibited flesh (the
swine) can be the cause of most of our
sickness. The professional people, such
as doctors and religious scholars and
scientists, know this to be true. But, in
this wicked world they were made to
teach against the good law and guidance
of Almighty God, Allah, to Whom
praises are due forever.
All that God says “thou shall not do”
the white race says “thou shall do,” or
“thou should do.” And then, they are
bold enough to ask you, “What is wrong
with eating pig?”
The hog, according to the teachings of
God, in the Person of Master Fard
Muhammad, to Whom praises are due
forever, is very poisonous. It contains
more poison than a rattlesnake. It is not
the flesh of the rattlesnake which is so
poisonous, but the sac full of poison
which it carries in its mouth. When the
rattlesnake strikes it empties the sac of
poison into your flesh. This causes death
to the victim, if he does not receive at
tention quickly. But, the actual flesh of
the hog is 999 percent poison (nearly
1000 percent) as taught to me by God,
in the Person of Master Fard Muham
mad, to Whom praises are due forever.
This poison is not going to kill you in
stantly. It drags you along for many
years.
It is very deceitful poison. It is in the
form of live worms, commonly called
pork worms (trichinae). In a hog eater’s
body, these worms multiply by the
millions. They first enter the walls of the
stomach and then from the stomach pass
out into the intestinal walls. And, from
the intestines they travel up the back in
the spinal cord into the muscles of the
body and finally into the brain. When
these worms get into these two places,
last mentioned (of the body), the disease
becomes incurable.
Look at the pictures in physiology
books or in the dictionary where this
worm is enlarged several hundred times.
The lives of people with such poisonous
worms in their bodies are usually limited
to less than seventy years. There are a
few who live past a hundred years, whose
constitutions may have been much
stronger than others. You may say, “One
hundred years is all I would want to
live.” No, this is not the truth. You
would like to live a hundred thousand
years if you could, when death ap
proaches you, for this is the law of life;
it always wants to stay here.
Eating any kind of flesh is not good
for us, not even beef. No animal flesh
can be said to be good for human con
sumption, not even fowls, and very few
fish, not to think of the scavengers of the
waters, such as crabs, shrimps and
oysters.
We must learn to eat vegetables and
fruits and stay away from land flesh. It
is a little difficult for us to suddenly stop
eating beef, lamb, and chicken, but we
must wean from such flesh gradually.
Eating one meal a day prolongs your
life if you eat the right food. People will
soon live a life of one thousand years,
after the removal of this wicked world.
