Does anyone know the Bible's stance on the consumption of fruits, nuts and grains?I'm doing an exam tomorrow which will be multiple choice true or...

It may be late for this response, but it would appear that
a great deal of what the Bible specifies in terms of the foods available to man, what
can be eaten or not, is found in the books of Genesis and Exodus, primarily, and all the
first five books of the Old Testament, in general.


It would
seem that the food Adam and Eve ate before the fall changed after the fall. God provided
different foods, though Adam and Eve had to work to produce them. Genesis 1:29 provides
some insights:

'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face
of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it'...This includes nuts,
grains, legumes, and
seeds.



Plants of the field
would provide different choices for them.

God told Adam that the earth would be cursed-that
it would produce thorns and thistles-and that he "will eat the plants of the field"
(Genesis 3:18 NIV).



In the
information presented in the Bible, it would seem that most foods are referred to in the
first five books of the Bible, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy.
