Drinking a little beer or wine would at leats have a benficial effect on your blood pressure. The way we eat does nothing but harm us.

Nitehawk, you're right. In moderation, the health benefits of red wine are known to help with blood pressure and heart disease. And, the Bible is clear about it's usage amongst God's very own.
Yet, some preach total abstinence because of the dangers of abuse, while they have significant health problems from overeating. I just don't get this. This is going to bite us as Christians (I think it already has).
I try to approach my heavy friends with the intention of helping them to see this. Even with an acceptable attitude, many don't want to discuss it, or change.
Why doesn't repentance include overeating? What kind of example are we leaving our children?
