…the truly amazing thing to me is that our bodies can function as well as they do on the junk we put into them!

We wouldn’t expect our cars to run on trash.  Or corded power tools (Delta machinery, anyone?) to run off our water pipes.  Animals regularly die when fed the quality of food we typically feed ourselves and our children.  And yet, we function.  We may not function well, but we function.  Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made!  What a gracious God we have, to foresee our foolishness and design us in such a way that we are, at least partially, protected from it!

(Oops.  I should probably clarify that I don’t have the vegetables in mind here!  I am thinking of the white flour, white sugar, white rice, etc. that form such a large part of the standard American diet.)
