again read my context. Give credit for what doing a temporary measure which should be a life change? I already did say talk about a fast after correcting the diet. I am being negative toward certain people which are most people that DO that fast. FAST shows temporary vs a normal diet. most don't eat healthy and use it as a feel good of I did something and then never change anything. It's not just fasts but other things we do as humans to prop us up mentally to feel good about whatever. Fasts are good but how people use this fast from all the churches I have seen. sry but it's rather sad as it is nothing but a temporary thing to build team building or group motivation and never deal with the real issues in the churches when it comes to food.
