D-

There was a low budget scifi movie in the 80's called "The Stuff" that addressed the eating addiction question. There was a "mineral" deposit the consistency of yogurt, which had an attractive taste. A company discovered it & started marketing it as a food; it turned out that it was really an shapeless lifeform; the "attractive flavor" would turn into an addiction, and was the lifeform's method of getting a host creature to eat enough that it could then colonize inside you and eat you.

Heavy-handed quote from the movie: "Are you eating it, or is it eating you?"

Which is my point. Its really hard to eat healthy now; the soil of the world is depleted of the minerals the Lord placed there, the food is not nutritious, and those marketing the foods are filling them with addictive, destructive chemicals -- poisons. You ever see those ads that say "that's how many bowls of ********* you would need to eat to get all the nutrition you find in *********". But it's all fake. Poison. Chemicals.

So that's what people have to do. Eat that many bowls to get the nutrition. But those bowls have their own poisins.

So I'm sorry if I was as heavy-handed in what I said before as that movie was. I think I'm agreeing with you about how the church is and should not be winking at gluttony, but disagreeing about the cause of the gluttony.
