Hello.
3:00:05
My name is Sharon Brown Jeter.
3:00:08
Remember Israel released the hostages, let Yahweh's people go defend Israel.
3:00:13
Okay.
3:00:14
I ate everything, candy, cake, cookies, all meats, fruit juices, all kinds of juices, and foods.
3:00:22
I was 98 or higher percentile in my schools and testing.
3:00:28
My mother was a nurse.
3:00:29
My father was military and a chef.
3:00:32
He was also a boxer, so they knew a whole lot about food and fitness.
3:00:37
Biblically, fat is good for the body and the brain.
3:00:41
We know that through avocados and things like that.
3:00:44
We can't deplete fat, sugars, and things like that.
3:00:48
If you don't allow children to eat foods and let their body process sugar, then later on in life you're gonna say their body can't handle sugar, and you're gonna say they're diabetic because their body is not comfortable with using sugar.
3:01:04
This has never been a problem in all our history that people had such a major problem with eating foods and being diabetic and things like that.
3:01:15
The bible, is going to be implemented in the schools.
3:01:20
It started already in Oklahoma, and we cannot force people to eat any way we choose.
3:01:27
We just have to provide food and we have to provide enough of the food.
3:01:31
The only thing banned in the Bible are food sacrificed to idols like Allah, Buddha, and things like that.
3:01:38
The Jewish dietary restriction is their choice based on the Bible.
3:01:43
We just have to provide enough for them.
3:01:45
So when I look at the Jewish portions they have in the food, I would say give them 2 of those.
3:01:51
If they eat only 1, that's fine.
3:01:53
If they eat both or as many as they need.
3:01:56
Some children are athletic.
3:01:58
They could eat like a bear.
3:01:59
That's not our business.
3:02:01
Give them what they need.
3:02:03
If children say they want something, they may have allergies that they can recognize that we don't know about.
3:02:10
Let children eat.
3:02:11
Do not starve our children.
