And, lo! The latest fad diet is upon us - and it's called 'eating biblically' -- Arwa Mahdawi [View all]
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/20/latest-fad-diet-eating-biblicallySome Christian conservatives are only eating foods mentioned in the Bible. At least Jesus wasn't devouring ultra-processed sausage rolls ...
t looks like all the raw milk Conservatives have been chugging may have curdled some of their brains. Some very odd wellness ideas, many of them Maga-adjacent, have been popping up in the US lately. Vaccines are evil! Testicle tanning will boost testosterone! According to health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, seed oils are unknowingly poisoning Americans! Beef tallow will make your skin glow!
The latest unorthodox theory to gain a cult-like following? Biblical eating. This is a somewhat fuzzy concept that tends to focus on eating foods mentioned in the Bible. While the idea isn't new, it has been resurrected. A recent New York Times piece notes that it has had a "resurgence in recent months".
"I had never really thought to look to the Bible for a recipe book," one Christian content creator and biblio diet influencer called Kayla Bundy told the NYT. But then she had a revelation: "Sin entered into the world through food, and Satan doesn't stop there. Food ... is really like a weapon of how I can fight back."
The good news is that you too can fight Satan for the low price of a $28 digital guide sold by Bundy. Or, for those blessed with a bigger bank account, why not sample a superfoods coaching session for around $700 a month? Annalies Xaviera, another influencer profiled by the NYT, also sells a $97 Biblical Eating Reset course.
