Days 251-252 - Eat what is GOOD - according to Websters!

Repeating part of my theme verse this week seems most applicable:  Isaiah 55:2 -  Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. NIV

Surprisingly Webster's Dictionary gives 14 entries for the word good, and every one of them has meaning for our health.
The definitions are in regular type.  The answers are in italics.

1. Being positive or desirable in nature; not bad or poor. Thousands have followed “diets” that were negative to health, hoping to tough it out long enough to reach the goal. No more. Eat what is good.

2. Having the qualities that are desirable or distinguishing in a particular thing: Food should look good, taste good, be good for me.

3. Serving the desired purpose or end; suitable: Is this a good thing for my health – will it help my body?

3. Not spoiled or ruined: is the food even a “little bit” moldy or spoiled? I can’t tell you how hard a habit it was to stop cutting off the spoiled part and eating the rest to “save a few pennies”.

4. Superior to the average; satisfactory: Food should satisfy, not just fill me.

5. Of high quality: Discriminating: good taste, good quality.

6. Worthy of respect; honorable: I should present the meal the way I would to guests – and treat myself as a guest at every meal.

7. Attractive; handsome: good looks – breaking this rule is why many people don’t like casseroles. A sprig of green or a twist of citrus can greatly improve an otherwise plain meal.

8. Beneficial to health: enough said

9. Competent; skilled: can the food do what its advertisement claims?

10. Complete; thorough: should be no need for something sweet to satisfy me. A healthy, high quality attractive meal should be complete and thoroughly please the palate.

11. Reliable; sure: Genuine; real – As unprocessed as possible.

12. In effect; operative: Don't overcook.  Keep food as close to nature as possible. Fiber and protein keep us full longer – have some in every meal.

13. Able to pay or contribute: -Able to elicit a specified reaction: Can the meal contribute to my health and well-being?

14. Ample; substantial: Bountiful: Is it so calorie dense that an actual serving is about a teaspoon?
