We call our Lord, The Merciful; then how can we support these...

I've been thinking about topic of animals, and diet.

As a baby I was fed a lot and was fat, and had big head. When I was a kid, I ate dairy, meat, and seafood. Then became skinnier with time as diet changed.

The diet I eat now is particular to my stage in life and the health issues I have made for myself because previous diet.

In documentary about Sahara, showed young women being fattened. Seems like another diet related change that occurs during stages of life.

Watching the documentary and seeing the diet of the nomadic desert people reminded me of the Qur'an and how it focuses on livestock (meat, dairy) as the main good thing. Yet also encourages eating dates and other fruit and vegetables to possibly encourage a balanced diet.

In the Bible, it talks about how it is our words that are more important than our food. Some stories make it look like dietary restrictions don't matter. I don't think this is what Jesus preached, because he is quoted saying that the body is the temple of God. Yet, he also is quoted questioning the purpose of tradition and wanting to establish the fundamentals, which are to treat others with empathy and to worship God. He is quoted saying to worship God secretly, hidden, with faith that God knows everything. He is quoted criticizing the people who look Godly and yet put people down, making rules and not following them themselves.

Food for thought.

I had mentioned food, diet, and development, yet I did not consider water, because I live in a water-rich environment.

This is an important example how I do not know all that there is to know and I recommend people question me, and seek guidance from God.

In the country of Israel there's a company called Watergen, which uses atmospheric capture to gather water. Watergen had captured atmospheric water and gave it to the people of Gaza at one moment before the war. https://watergen.com/case-studies/watergen-helps-gaza-deal-with-its-growing-water-problem/

After the war, the UAE made an initiative. https://dubaitimes.com/zeztez-uae-launches-largest-water-supply-project-for-gaza

Israel has developed many water technologies, which have helped some countries in the region, such as desalinization and drip-irrigation.

Trees and other plants contribute to atmospheric moisture through evapo-transpiration. Israeli organization Venatata is one organization that promotes the planting of trees. http://venatata.org/

A man from the USA, Moses West, invented a truck that also captures atmospheric moisture. https://moseswestfoundation.org/our-story/

People in the driest desert in the world collect atmospheric water from dense fog using nets. People have also copied the texture of beetle exoskeleton to improve capture. https://environment.sciencearray.com/atmospheric-water-harvesting-fog-nets-desert-solution

Since plants evapotranspirate, some people place bags around them and wait til water condenses around the plastic bag, yet I've never tried this method and would worry that the leaf's surface chemical compounds could mix with the water if not careful, and harmful depending on the species of plant and the individual.

There is also boxed water, instead of plastic bottles. I've also seen some glass containers.

May God protect and sustain you.
