The man that is either or, can take it or leave it, and he'll take it if it's especially appetizing. But to the full man, the food would man, the food would make him feel sick, even the smell of it.
I think that KBTW is saying that we're like the man in the middle concerning this flesh nature, and Luke is saying that we are to be like the full man.
