Jules,
Wow, that is a fascinating and thoughtful perspective. I love that verse, from D&C: 11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
We often, in our culture, abuse all things good given from God. Think of fast food, and how much we tend to consume meat. All those I would consider to be abuses of good things God has given us, yet we don't often condemn people for breaking the word of wisdom for over consumption of unhealthy, processed foods, and too much meat. Besides, we have now taken the word of wisdom as a commandment, when it clearly states in the scripture itself that it is not given by way of commandment. We impose that meaning.
All things to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. If we adopted that attitude, we would find ourselves much healthier and living much more closely to the Spirit.
