"According to some estimates, more than three thousand chemicals are added to our food supply and more than ten thousand chemicals are involved in food processing, storage, and preservation. Kids are being born today with hundreds of different chemicals in the blood of their umbilical cord." -David Wolfe

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:1–2)

It is obvious the food industry has been very successful in helping us become addicted to highly processed foods. How many Mormons are willing to give up foods they know are not healthy for their bodies? We know our bodies are temples, and we know the foods we eat affect us both physically and spiritually. Then why do we knowingly eat foods that are not health promoting? We would not try to fuel our cars with mud; why do we fuel our bodies with foods they are not designed to run on?
The fact is: most of us Mormons are seriously addicted to unhealthy foods: foods filled with fat, sugar, white flour, and salt; processed foods; calorically-dense foods; foods that create a “taste sensation” in our mouths; rich meaty foods, cheese, and hundreds of ice cream combinations. We LOVE these foods!! But do we love them more than our health? More than the blessings promised in the Word of Wisdom?
I believe one of the main purposes of the Word of Wisdom is to help us be free of addictions of all kinds. [8] Father Lehi warned us that when we give into the “will of the flesh” it
giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate, to bring you down to hell, that he may reign over you in his own kingdom. (2 Nephi 2:29)
We love the pleasure signals in our bodies that come from eating meat, cheese, sweets, and junk foods. We don’t want to give them up, despite the harm they are doing to us physically and spiritually. This is more than mental; it is biological. Rats will choose cocaine over food, even to the point of their own starvation. They will likewise ignore healthy food when junk food is available to gorge themselves on.[9]
Satan will certainly oppose all our efforts to change, but God’s power is greater, and when we combine our agency with God’s power, we can succeed!
I encourage you to prayerfully study D&C 89. Ask God what the “next step” for you should be. Then take that step, no matter how difficult it may seem. Give yourself some time to master than step. Then pray about what the next step should be and take it.Each step you take, the farther you are moving away from bondage and the closer to freedom.”
