Day 2... starting point

( MY STARTING POINT )
In reading through those scriptures, as I have so many times before, I know the verbiage well...
Verse 5: No wine, no problem
Verse 7: No Liquor, no problem
Verse 8: No Tobacco, no problem
Verse 9: No Hot Drinks, (mainly coffee or Tea), no problem
Verse 11: Herbs & Fruits in season,"to be used with prudence", no problem
Verse 12: Meat to be used sparingly and "with thanksgiving", no problem
Verse 13: Grains, yes... "to be the staff of life", no problem
and the promise of obedience to all of us is that we "shall receive health in the navel and marrow to their bones". (D&C 89:18). Isn't that what I am asking for? If only it was that simple!
       The first 4 are absolutely no problem nor temptation for me. But the other three... "prudence?", "sparingly?" "staff of life?", come on.... IT'S FOOD! :(
