what do you think about gluttony?

Yes, we need all apply great self control, in every aspect of our lives. I too am grateful for the Lord's mercy on me.

 

I don't believe that any person that can sit behind a computer in either house or office and partake in a discussion such as this has experienced what true hunger is. I am not saying I have, but I have seen it first hand. It is common in third-world countries where many life malnourished lives for most of their lives, and many die of starvation. It is those who know what hunger really is. They have experienced it, not me; not you.

I complained about the food I had to eat until I met a man who had no food to eat.

Amen and AMEN!

 

When I was in Finland working in 1986 I asked people how much they spent on food for their family. It was the same amount as we spend here. The difference being was that food over there was about 80% more than here. That would certainly tell me about how much we eat compared to what I saw there.

 

We coulld be, and should be.
I have a close acquaintance, for example, that works in a grocery warehouse. If they come across a box of goods where the product has some cans of food that are dented a bit, then all of it must be thrown away. It is a waste of food. Much food is thrown away simply because the outside of boxes, cans, and all types of other products don't look right on the outsde. It's a shame. They are not allowed to sell it or even give it away. The employees are not even allowed to take it home.

 

Please keep pointing out some more of this good stuff. We can all use the info and I'm pretty sure more and more are opening their eyes to realize what is going on. At least I know I am.

That is because people have sued companies claiming they got sick when they ate food which was outdated.

 

Let's don't forget there are hormonal changes we ladies go through that causes us to gain weight because of changes in our metabolism and some DNA from Great Grandma Judy...

I guess I am a glutton. Not because I overeat, but because I own a freezer and it is stocked with meat (that was all on sale) while other people are going hungry.

And, yes, I have been hungry - very hungry. I believe that is why I now have a freezer full of food. I don't want to run out and be hungry again...

I also give to the local food pantry's and to the missions. Just thought I'd throw that in there before I got my 20 lashes. :tongue3:

 

I have found the cure for gluttony!!!

You can now have that extra cheeseburger as long as you drink a diet coke.

According to my research, the metabolism of the human body works best when opposing foods are combined....

IOWS, the diet coke, (low in calories and no fat), cancels out the fat in the cheeseburger.... you see, just like something cold draws out heat from something that is hot, the diet coke "draws" out the calories from the cheesburger, thus neutralizing the caloric intake factor.

So no matter how many Cheesburgers you eat, as long as you drink a diet drink along with them, you will gain no weight... The diet drink destroys the calories in the cheesburger.

Isn't that great news....
But I have even better,
For only $19.95 you can have my indepth analysis and diet plan that will show you how to have that whole pizza, and never gain weight. Or you can have that milkshake, and not feel guilty.

But of course, having a healthy lifestyle which includes balanced meals, and exercise, is essential to losing weight...

But wait, that's not all!!!
If you act now, I will throw in a guide to your favorite restaurants, and coffee shops. You will never feel guilty for eating fast food again!!!

Side effects may include pimples, acme, and diarrhea. In rare cases bloating of the intestines and sore feet...
And as always, you should consult your doctor before starting any diet plan.


And if you believe all that, I have some ocean front property in "Almost Heaven" West Virginia to sell!!!:thumbs:

 

I tried the lite beer and pizza diet and the Doughnut diet (the ones with holes, less calories) and neithe worked for me. :laugh:

 

I have never seen a person who did not have enough to eat ever have a problem with overeating. There are lots of people in other countries who have much less than we do.

 

Is that what you really meant to say?

 

I guess i'm tired...we had a JH guys lockin Sunday night...

...but I've read cordoggy's post 3-4 times and still can't get it.

I must need a nap. :sleeping_2:
