Just in time for Thanksgiving, the Daily Mail UK, reports on various Christian diet groups and plans.

Colbert explains: ‘Jesus ate primarily natural foods in their natural states – lots of vegetables, especially beans and lentils. He would have eaten wheat bread, fruit, drunk a lot of water and also red wine.
