Laura Lee's Sin Bin - "Biblical Eating" Influencers

The idea is pretty simple: eat foods that show up in the Bible things like fish, olives, lentils, figs, honey and cut back on heavily processed foods. Not a mindblowing statement.     Well, a whole ecosystem of influencers has emerged around it, selling courses, meal plans, and coaching programs. One influencer mentioned in the piece reportedly charges hundreds of dollars a month for guidance on how to eat according to scripture.   Because at some point, "eat fish and lentils" stops sounding like ancient wisdom and starts sounding like a subscription service.   Go with registered dietitians, not influencers with ring lights.   Honestly, the funniest part is that a lot of these programs present themselves as a return to simple living. Yet somehow the path to simplicity involves coaching packages, downloadable PDFs, affiliate links, and recurring monthly billing.   That's not the Book of Genesis.   That's the Book of Marketing.For taking advantage of the easily influenced, they should feel shame, shame, shame.
