A growing number of Christian conservatives in the UK are adopting a new fad diet based on foods mentioned in the Bible. The 'biblical diet' encourages followers to only eat foods mentioned in the Christian scriptures, excluding modern foods like ultra-processed sausage rolls and sugary drinks.
The diet includes raw milk, honey, and unprocessed meats, which are mentioned in the Bible as acceptable food sources. Proponents of the diet claim that it is a return to a more natural and wholesome way of eating.
However, health experts are warning that the diet may not be as healthy as it seems. Raw milk, for example, can pose a risk of food poisoning, and unprocessed meats can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
Environmental experts are also concerned about the diet's potential impact on the UK's food system. A diet that excludes modern foods may lead to increased demand for raw milk and other specialty products, which could have a negative impact on the environment.
The 'biblical diet' has sparked debate among UK citizens, with some praising its potential health benefits and others expressing concern about its impact on the environment.
