What do Mormons eat traditionally?

Answer 1

They believe that tobacco, and caffeine are bad for the body, and therefore try to refrain from the use of these things.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons) adhere to a code of health, known as the Word of Wisdom, that advocates a healthy diet, including moderate use of meat and abstinence from coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, and harmful drugs. Mormons also store food for use in emergencies. Additionally, members of the Church donate money regularly to the Church's extensive welfare program to provide food and other necessities to others in need.

Answer 2

The food habits of most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are based on both religious belief and culture. Mormon scripture states that alcohol, tobacco, hot drinks, and other harmful substances are to be avoided. Scripture also advises a diet rich in whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, with minimal meat consumption. Most Mormons use these scriptural guidelines as a basis for their diet.

Mormon culture has also affected common foods eaten by Mormons, at least in the United States. As Mormons believe that quality family time is very important, meals that are inexpensive and simple to produce, such as casserole dishes and crock-pot meals, have become very popular in most Mormon families. In addition, Mormons believe in preparing for emergency, and most families have quite extensive food storage. In order to rotate all these non-perishable food items, they are often incorperated into regular meals. In other nations, food habits mirror those of the local culture.

Answer 3

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) eat whatever foods are common for their nationality and culture, but try to avoid anything with alcohol, tobacco, or tea in it.

For example, Mormons in the United States typically eat casseroles, pizza, pasta, Sandwiches, Hamburgers, etc. Mormons in Mexico eat a lot of tacos, enchiladas, beans, rice, and tortillas. Mormons in Japan eat a lot of rice, sushi, and seafood.

Answer 4

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) eat whatever foods are common or available in their culture and community. Mormons do try to follow a health code called the "Word of Wisdom" which prohibits the consumption of alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco, and illegal drugs while promoting a diet high in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. The Word of Wisdom does not give any specific food guidelines other than these and thus food patterns among Mormons vary widely by region and personal taste. Additionally, Mormons do not have special diets for certain holy days - there is no "meatless Friday" like Catholics during Lent, there is no "unleavened bread" like Jews during Passover, etc.
