What Would Jesus Eat?

I am convinced that if Jesus came to the earth today, he would overturn the local Christian bookstore just as he did the Temple in his day. This is because there is so much junk there which does nothing but generate money for someone in Jesus’ name. These include the cheesy household ornaments sprinkled with out-of-context, Hallmark sound-byte Bible verses and the ever-popular Testaments. This kind of stuff really disgusts me- in case you can’t tell.

The other day I was shopping in my local grocery story and I came across another horrible example of this phenomenon- Ezekiel 4:9 cereal. Apparently this cereal uses the ingredients listed in Ezekiel 4:9, somehow claiming that it is good for you.

I wonder if they prepare it in the same way Ezekiel was told to prepare it- according to verse 12? Even if they prepare it as God allows Ezekiel to after he reals from disgust, this disgustingly-prepared meal was designed to show God’s people how serious their sin was, so they would repent? Does the cereal hope to have the same goal (it doesn’t sound good to me)?
