Eat Meat Sparingly: a Word of Wisdom Podcast

Why It Pleases the Lord When We Don’t Eat Meat

26 Jul 2025

Description

(The Doctrine & Covenants 89 Message Most Members Miss) In this powerful episode of Eat Meat Sparingly, Ali Esig pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening inside today’s factory farms—and why it matters spiritually, ethically, and emotionally. Using Doctrine & Covenants 89 as her guide, Ali unpacks the often-overlooked verse: “It is pleasing unto me that they should not be used.” This is not a guilt trip. It’s a gentle, eye-opening invitation to consider how our food choices reflect our values—especially when it comes to the creation around us. You’ll learn: What CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) are—and why 99.9% of chicken and 98% of pigs come from them Why eating meat “sparingly” is both a commandment and a compassionate practice The hidden human cost of slaughterhouse work The disturbing truth about eggs and male chicks (yes, even cage-free) How our plates can either honor or hinder the divine potential of animals What you can do to start making a difference—without going broke or going extreme Plus, Ali shares how even one meatless meal a week can have a ripple effect on animal welfare, the environment, and your spiritual alignment. 💚 Ready to live the Word of Wisdom more intentionally?
