QUESTION: "We have been reading 'Is All Animal Flesh Good Food?' with much interest. We live in the country and have our own garden and meat for the table but need to know if liver, heart, tongue and kidneys are edible meats. We are certain it is in the Bible but are unable to find it." ANSWER: The reason you cannot find any instruction in the Bible regarding the eating of organ meats is because it isn't there. The Old Testament does mention that some organs were to be burned along with the fat when an animal was sacrificed, but this had nothing to do with the normal killing and eating of these animals (Ex. 29:13). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
