Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraphs 4 and 5 of chapter 8 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"So the matter of diet is up to each individual according to his or her own conscience, needs, and body conditions.  It is a very personal choice.  The important thing is not to try to force anyone to eat any particular food and not to think you are better than anyone else because of your diet.

However, I do caution everyone to study the matter.  Some things are just not good for anyone's body.  And too much of any food is not good.  Also, excessive worrying about what you eat is not good.  Keep a good attitude, exercise regularly and appropriately.  Much of this is common sense yet people still have a hard time eating and exercising rightly. Help one another rather than criticizing people for their dietary problems."

Commentary: Diet does seem to be a matter of common sense, yet both malnutrition and obesity are serious problems in our world. So a lot of education about diet needs to supplement common sense.
