A diet inspired by the Bible has found new audiences online in the Make America Healthy Again era.

Kayla Bundy likes to start her day with a cup of bone broth.
She buys her milk raw, snacks on sardines, eats authentic sourdough bread no commercial yeasts here and generally cooks with locally-sourced ingredients. On TikTok, where she has over 500,000 followers, she claims that her diet fixed her skin, her hair and her depression, and she sells coaching sessions to help others with their diets.
Bundy, a 27-year-old Christian content creator, might sound like your run-of-the-mill clean-eating type, but she believes her diet to be part of a higher calling. For eight years, she has been a biblical eater, someone who consumes mostly foods mentioned in the Bible. She is part of a niche but dedicated online community trying to tie religious values to dietary needs.
I had never really thought to look to the Bible for a recipe book, Bundy, who grew up in Michigan and now lives in Bali, said, but after cutting out refined sugar made her feel good, she said, she started studying scripture from that lens of noticing what they are eating.
She added: Sin entered into the world through food, and Satan doesnt stop there. Food, for me, is really like a weapon of how I can fight back.
Bundy is open about not having nutrition credentials, but she sells a $28 digital guide to biblical superfoods, as well as coaching sessions that start around $700 for a month, she said.

When Moses sees the Israelites worshiping the golden calf he grinds the idol into a fine powder, mixes it with water and forces the people to drink (Exodus 32:1920).
Scroll of Lamentations
God gives Ezekiel a two-sided scroll of Lamentations to eat. Ezekiel fills his stomach and finds the scroll to be as sweet as honey (Ezekiel 2:83:3).
Bread and Excrement
God tells Ezekiel to eat bread baked upon human excrement but Ezekiel gets away with bread baked upon animal excrement. Unlike the scroll, we arent told how it tastes (Ezekiel 4:10-17).
Human Flesh
Cannibalism on account of hunger is perhaps the most extreme punishment in the Hebrew Bible. It is at times described in vivid detail, e.g., in the threat of Deuteronomy 28 that fathers and mothers will eat their own children in secrecy so that they do not have to share the meat (Deuteronomy 28:5357).
Free Refills
There are a number of stories about the miracles performed by the prophets Elijah and Elisha. According to the Book of Kings, a hungry womans jar of flour and jug of oil refilled themselves until a famine subsided (1 Kings 17:10-16), a poor womans single jug of oil was able to fill the many vessels of her neighbors (2 Kings 4:17), and a mans twenty loaves of bread were miraculously able to feed one hundred hungry men with some left over (2 Kings 4:4244). A similar story appears in John 6, where Jesus feeds five thousand men with five barley loaves and two small fish. Again, there is still food left over.

(11,450 posts)No tomatoes, peppers, most beans (anything in the genus Phasolus), squashes, chocolate, peanuts, vanilla, pineapples, potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, quinoa, and a host of others I'm forgetting. No tea or coffee, either. To be fair, it is possible to eat healthy and tasty dishes based on just what was available in that part of the Middle East in biblical times, but the only foods I remember from the bible are loaves and fishes. And wine.
