doofdaddy, great analogy. You gotta throw orange juice drinking into the mix. First, that may be okay. Gradually, it becomes clear that drinking orange juice is really the same thing as eating an orange and could not possibly be pleasing to God.
Then they come to realize that it is the citrus nature of the fruits that actually make them unclean, so they set about categorizing all the fruits that are citrus and those that are not.
Then the lawsuits for scurvy cases start. The Legal Department arranges for talks explaining that Vitamin C supplements are perfectly fine, even if derived from citrus fruits, while eating of the whole fruit would be a gross sin.
THEN they finally change the view. Sheez, you can that with almost anything! GREAT analogy, doofdaddy!
