“While living foods are the foods that God made, dead foods are foods produced or drastically altered (think potato chips rather than fresh produce) by humans. The name is apropos because not only do they contain no living energy, but if you eat enough of them you will find yourself on the fast track toward sickness and death. That food is nothing but a combination of chemicals and preservatives wrapped up in an appealing package and laced with sugar and salt to keep you and me going back for more.”
– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson
