I must say that I agree with this notion that a bleak spiritual energy must attend and infect the meat obtained from mass producers. There is a spiritual aspect to all that we do and participate in, and when it comes to meat there is a difference between taking an animal in the wild, where it is in the midst of fulfilling the measure of its creation, and simply purchasing the flesh of an animal that sits for extended periods in a pile of its own feces, totally demoralized, prodded into a terrified panic, and then ultimately put out of its misery.

If our bodies are temples, then there is nothing that isn't temple work. This includes eating, and if we can't honestly say that our choices are cleansed from the blood and sins of this generation, then there is an extent of irresponsibility that we must answer for at some point.

I agree that the WoW likely isn't a commandment, especially when it's history of implementation is examined. But I don't think the Lord is interested in commanding us to be with him. I think he wants his children to honestly think through these notions surrounding his creations. I think he respects our requests according to how we respect what he has given to us, and the WoW is a big part of that.

I also think "wisdom" is often tied to Heavenly Mother in scripture. That notion throws another twist onto this health code, and I believe it has to do with the fact that we don't only have to be able to stand in the Father's presence. We're eventually going to have to stand in her's as well.

She likely births our spirits, and all spirit is matter. Hence, she likely has a material stake in how we treat our bodies.
