The Urantia Book on Nutrition and Health: With Claudia Ayers and Lee Smith

This week's show is based on one of the most popular and talked about workshops given at the Urantia Book Fellowship's International Conference this past July by presenters Claudia Ayers (teacher) and Lee Smith (therapist). We thought, in the midst of traditional holiday feasting, it would be timely to have a show on health and nutrition. Claudia and Lee are both highly respected professionals and longtime students of The Urantia Book. They have spent the last several years researching diet and nutrition and what they have learned will likely surprise you because it runs counter to many popular and current ideas.   For many years they believed that since Jesus appeared to prefer a meatless Passover, and that Adam and Eve ate only fruits and nuts, then it was likely that the Celestial Hosts were guiding humanity towards vegetarianism, if not veganism. Upon closer examination, they found something quite surprising. However, at this stage in humankind's development, post-Ademic planets like this one are typically omnivorous, having evolved from “the once exclusively meat-eating evolutionary races.” Claudia and Lee have found dozens of food and nutrition references tucked into The Urantia Book that are completely consistent with worldwide cultural traditions that have maintained the health and sanity of humankind with meals that include animal proteins and fats. They will also share with us the rich diversity of books and other references that they have discovered that support the importance of these dietary components for healthy individuals, which they will happily share. We hope you can join us this week as we explore this important topic with our informative and engaging guests, Claudia Ayers and Lee Smith.
