Daniel Chapter One got its name from the Old Testament, book of Daniel, first chapter. In that account, Daniel and his men were being held in Babylonian captivity, and were expected to eat the king's food -so as to be fit and strong servants. But Daniel asked permission to eat a vegetable diet and to drink only water, rather than partake of the rich meats and wine of the king. The king's men said no; surely Daniel would get sick, maybe die! So Daniel asked for a trial of 10 days. At the end of Chapter One, it is recorded that Daniel and men, after that trial, were strong in flesh, with bright eyes, and continued to grow in knowledge and wisdom. So it was that the founders of Daniel Chapter One, since trying their own "Daniel Chapter One" diet for 10 days and discovering that indeed they felt fantastic, decided to name the health food store they began, after that portion of the bible. The company, then and now, does not push a vegetarian diet for wellness, but simply a healthy diet of wholesome, natural foods - rather than the unwholesome, artificial food of the modern world. It's about eating with purpose, and partaking of the good food God has given us for health and healing. Good food for physical, mental, and emotional health includes herbs and nutrients. The tiny health food supplement store Daniel Chapter One grew and grew, from one to several locations. As the store grew, so the founders grew - in knowledge and wisdom, as in fact Daniel had experienced! The store quickly became more of a natural healing center. From their hands-on expertise, the couple began next to design the nutritional supplement product line now known world over as Daniel Chapter One.
