Day 326 Is Daniel into health food?

Daniel is in to health food? Instead of being weakened by eating royal food...Daniel orders vegetables. What was the outcome? Daniel's appearance out dazzled the delicacies of dining with the king. Here is the story..."Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, "Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see." So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead." What is the point of the story? Better vegetables with the King of Kings than delicacies with an earthly king!
