And yet, the Bible says God promised the Israelites when he took them out of the land of Egypt that He would provide and lead them to a land of milk and honey! That sounds like Jah expected them to enjoy the milk and the honey, yes?

i think when it says that in the bible it is not to sake for word for word, but more of a metaphor, milk is for the young, Cows milk for the calf, there is alot of fat in cows milk this is to bulk up the calf as soon as possible, not ment for us, even though we can drink it, the amount of fat in the milk is not healthy for us, in my opinion.

Most RasTafarI I know eat Honey and prefer to use honey in place of other sweeteners. Usually when I find somebody that doesn't, they seem to have learned more of a North American philosophy of being Vegan, then the way of RasTafarI people. If people raise bees responsibly and take care of them and protect them from insects or other things that harm bees, it is a relationship that is good for the bees and people. In nature, bees often will eventually fill up their nest with too much honey and then just leave to make a nest elsewhere, abandoning the old nest. Treat the bees with Love and Respect, and don't take too much honey, make sure the bees have plenty for themselves. And protect the bees from ants and other things that might threaten them.

give thanks Ark I, You said if people responsibly raise bees for honey, then it would be a good relationship for both people and bees! True that! Actually God gave us the universe and the fullness thereof so that we could make good relationships with everything, seen? So if people responsibly keep and protect the cattle and the hens for milk and eggss respectively, then there would be good relationships between mankind and everything. Selah!

And you are very true when you say that those who do not eat honey have learned the vegan philosophy and then Rastafari later on! Actually people tend to incorporate their own philosophies into Rastafari in order to suit their own desires, seen? It's very common to see a person trying to mix Rastafari with their own traditions, particularly most Rastafarians in Africa, or philosophies that ain't Rastafari. I think people must forsake all their previous beliefs and ideas, and then dedicate themselves to Rastafari with purity of heart! Bless..

Jah peace prevail! Jah is the way. The Maasai Moran; by avoiding unnessesary slaughter of his herd, he is able to get blood and milk from his living cattle for his food; from ancient times this is his way of life. I believe this is pleasing and acceptable to The Most High. In his language there is no word for tooth ache, or decay, for these do not exist in his world. Jah bless in deed.

Greetings Jah people. Honey is not an animal product but a plant product procesed by bees fo dem own use. Honey is just sugar therefore its considered natural thus many italist do use it. Unlike honey, milk n eggs are just not ital n are not taken by italist, so don't fool yourself thinkin u troding ital livity when u nyam any flesh, milk or eggs. I man personaly don't nyam no honey fo I man feel de right of de bees to deir honey is violated. De honey is ussauly taken against de will of de bees dats why dem sting. Also sometimes bees n baby bees (larva) are killed during honey collection n dat is not irie u know. Why should de life of bees be sacrifised fo human to get sugar? Sometimes when people are eating honey combs I notice dat der's some larva within de combs which is eaten too. So I man think when u nyam de larva u eating flesh n dat is not ital. De bees work hard makin honey to feed demselves n deir children only to find dat human later rob dem hard earned honey. Why can't we learn de process of makin honey from de bees then make our own honey instead of robing n killin of bees. Raspect to iration is raspect to de irator.

Greatings. Now that man has used animal products such as leather, wool, silk, pearls among other organic material, and has exploited fossil fuels; he has expressed dominion over other creation. Has he transgressed the Holy Covenant? Jah love creation.
