Here in CA we may have a $hit government, but we aren't fat. And it doesn't look too good for the areas of the country we count on to elect Republicans. Looking at the Deep South, it's evident they need to quit frying everything the put in their mouths. Yeah we can ridicule these Black Pastors for their lawsuit, but their Low IQ parishioners can't seem to figure out for themselves what's killing them.
Screw that!!!! Leave our food alone, dammit! !
The real problem is this... people eat, drink for comfort but they can’t truly find it. So they keep on overdoing it.
The real answer is this... whatever you eat or drink, do it to the glory of the Lord. This is a spiritually tangible factor, not a dull drill, when done as the Lord wants it. Less becomes more, because it isn’t being consumed with quite as much implicit gloom as before.
Don’t ban the overused or misused thing from the world. Ban the evil spirits from your soul that are occasioning the state of misery that brings the overuse or misuse.
That said, a good historical note is that classically in the world, skinny wasn’t viewed as the epitome of health and joy. Have you ever seen a skinny Buddha, to take an example outside of a Judeo-Christian context. There may be a fallacy of the excluded middle here. If you don’t look like Arnold Schwarzeneggar, so the meme goes, you ain’t anything good. You could get more years in your life, yet less life in your years.
