On a recent visit to San Diego, my hometown, we had dinner with my mother-in-law.
She is a very good cook but a bit of health nut. She thinks fat should be avoided at all costs and that salt is the forbidden seasoning.
After the meal, on the way back to the hotel, my husband asked if I had tried the spray-on butter substitute she had served.
I told, “No, I do not eat sprayed foods.”
He argued, “But we know that butter is bad for you.”
I replied, “I would much rather trust a cow than chemicals.”
This got me to thinking about God.
God usually doesn’t do things without a good reason. So why do we have taste buds?
We know that you can live without taste buds although I really can’t think of why you would care to do that.
There are some naturally occurring poisons that taste bitter. That’s God’s protection in my view.
So when I decide to eat something that is basically sugar and fat, say, a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donut, and my taste buds get a hold of that flavor, I tell you, I am doing the will of God.
I’m using the taste buds that God gave me for the purpose He made them for: enjoying food!
That’s why I’m convinced that rice cakes are the work of Satan.
There’s just no flavor and the texture is like chewing cardboard and I cannot believe that I am doing the will of God by munching on those things.
Vegetarianism is also a sin against the Lord. If God didn’t want us to eat animals, then tell me why did He make them out of meat?
Just how many tofu cows do you see walking around or for that matter, tofurkeys?
I know pork isn’t Kosher and I do try to eat Kosher whenever possible. I won’t even consider eating a hot dog unless it’s been blessed by a Rabbi in New York and has a genuine Kosher dill pickle slapped along side the bun. But I think that even Jesus Christ Himself wouldn’t have said no to a BLT.
Although, if I was doing the ordering, I would personally have them hold the LT. I don’t like anything messin’ around with my bacon.
So get right with God and enjoy your food! And pass the gravy quick. My taters don’t like being nekkid.
