The Rev. George Malkmus of North Carolina is one of several Christian
clergy promoting Bible-based food plans. His concept, the Hallelujah
Diet, draws on Genesis 1:29, banning all animal products except for
honey and promoting an 80 per cent raw diet. In biblical times, he
says, people who subsisted on a raw diet lived an average of 912
years. The Rev. Malkmus does employ a scientific researcher, who
determined that the Hallelujah Diet was deficient in vitamin B-12.
"This shocked me, that God's perfect plan could have a flaw," the
clergyman said. "But we realized that fruits and vegetables back then
were more nutritious because of the topsoil."
