Let's not limit our choices based on things of lesser importance. For now, let's save the country; then we can worry about individuals' diets. My concern about Vivek is that he talks a great game, but has no track record I know of to support his current assertions of belief.

Remember, no one heard of Barack Hussain Obama either, yet he became like a god almost overnight. No track record. Just a 'community organizer', blah blah blah......it was all horse poop. I'm thinking this Vivek guy might be another one of the planted. Dem and Republicans are all the same now, so it really doesn't matter which political side gets the plant, just where it would be more useful.

I'm just watching to see whether I can tell which horns are plucked out by their roots.

I would just caution not to put your hope in men. It may be that these things must happen. We are not to let events trouble us.

Here's a comment by George Washington, which I cross-posted a couple of years ago on Facebook.

"I wish I may be mistaken in imagining, that there are persons, who, upon finding they could not carry their point by an open attack against the Constitution, have some sinister designs to be silently effected, if possible. But I trust in that Providence, which has saved us in six troubles yea in seven, to rescue us again from any imminent, though unseen, dangers. Nothing, however, on our part ought to be left undone. I conceive it to be of unspeakable importance, that whatever there be of wisdom, and prudence, and patriotism on the Continent, should be concentred in the public Councils, at the first outset." – George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, Mount Vernon, August 28, 1788; Fitzpatrick 30:63

And yet everyone in the Bible acted in the world; our Founders and Framers acted in the world; Jeff is acting in the world, for which I am very grateful; and we must act in the world, whether or not we believe that God holds all in His hands, as I do. Otherwise, we could all sit down right now and wait for someone to serve us our meals, but that's now how God made the world.

You're not wrong. Proverbs 25:26 "Like a muddled spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked."

I'm merely saying that we shouldn't put our faith in *men.*
