If one was to look at the Bible as a prophetic book, one could make some arguments in that favor. What kind of food pollution may have Daniel have seen..Fat pollution? as in Cholesterol? Maybe he had problems with Pork pollution ..as in Trichina worms, from uncooked pork. Modern science is now, advising to reduce intake of red meats. I think Daniel might have said that was a step in the right direction. The picture depicted in the Bible, where the Lion and the Lamb existing side by side, to me points to a future where, all predators will become vegetarians. I think its ironic that some non christian organizations are promoting vegeterianism more than many Christians.. My guess, that it was polluted by a lifestyle of the Royalties way of eating. In America...some americans still eat meat like Royalty. The outcome from eating Daniles diet was better health.. I think that the message that was being taught.
