I saw this quote on-line recently.  It is likely to be taken as extreme at first glance but it isn’t in reality.

One of the most pervasive evils that lures us into the trap and thus the results of the trap is food and unhealthy food.

It is well documented and demonstrated that the typical sexually and visually driven man would struggle to resist a little more than a hug from a beautiful and willing woman under the right circumstances.

We do the same thing with food.  We often times begrudgingly agree to a salad but enthusiastically look forward to what comes after that.  We add a Coke or a bag of fries or a burger or whatever else we want and justify it by the fact that we “ate our greens” first.

There is truth to these assumptions but the underlying problem is that we are not satisfied with that which brings us the best long term value.  Like the story in the bible where the son gives his younger brother his birth rights in exchange for a bowl of soup, we too give up our health in exchange for the short term satisfaction our taste buds deliver.

I contend that we can choose to be really happy with the food that is best for us.  Food that is made by God in His garden (the world), and which enables our living bodies to manifest more life, as they were designed to!

Eat to live!
