Is a vegetarian diet healthy? This question was also answered in a Biblical demonstration by Daniel, recorded in Daniel 1: 3-20. Daniel and his 3 friends were captives in King Nebuchadnezzars’ palace in Babylon. The king wanted them to eat of his food for 3 years and then come before him to see the results.

However Daniel was able to convince the King’s guard to allow them to eat an animal free food diet and water for 10 days and compare how they looked to the other children that were eating and drinking the king’s food and wine.

At the end of the ten days Daniel and his friends’ countenances were fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which ate of the king’s food. Therefore the guard allowed them to continue with their meatless diet.
