Soup Is Bad For You

Journal of Discourses 12:221, 223; “We are told, and very plainly too, that hot drinks—tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa and all drinks of this kind are not good for man. We are also told that alcoholic drinks are not good, and that tobacco when either smoked or chewed is an evil.

We must prevent the use by them of every article that is hurtful or noxious in its nature. We must not permit them to drink liquor or hot drinks, or hot soups or to use tobacco or other articles that are injurious.” – George Q. Cannon, Salt Lake City, April 7, 1868

Colossians 2:14-16; “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”

Soup?  Really? 

How could soup be bad for you?  What about the Bear Creek soup company in Heber, UT? Are they sinning? 

And if chocolate is off limits then Mormons are in a lot of trouble especially with Trolley Square making a healthy sum off the truffle shops. 

These men don’t know what they’re saying and just to be clear, there is nothing in the Bible condemning soup.
