Where did the Daniel Fast come from?

The Bible tells the story of how the prophet Daniel and his three friends were handpicked to be taken into the king’s service for three years, where they were trained in linguistics and culture. The king required that all students be “healthy, handsome, smart, wise, educated, and fit to serve in the royal palace” and that they “eat the same food and wine that I am served.” Most historians agree that the main part of the king’s diet would have consisted of meat and alcohol, which may have been offered up to idols.

Daniel resolved to eat only what God wanted his people to eat. So, he asked the king’s chief official for permission to be exempt from the king’s dietary requirements. The chief official was uneasy about Daniel’s request because if Daniel and his friends ended up looking worse than their peers, the official would be punished by execution. Knowing this, Daniel proposed, “for the next ten days, let us have only vegetables and water at mealtime and when the ten days are up, compare how we look with the other young men and decide what to do with us.” The chief official agreed, and ten days later, Daniel and his friends looked ten times healthier than their peers who had been eating the king’s diet.
