The Beelzebub Plan
18 October 2004More on religious dieting: The Boston Globe's Rich Barlow asks whether spiritual leaders should remind their flocks that gluttony is a sin in a time when nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight. Barlow tallies religious edicts against over-eating -- from the Book of Proverbs, Deuteronomy, the Koran, Buddha (Buddha?) -- though he notes that the motivations for gorging are instrumental in determining sinfulness: if you're starving or being social, it's generally okay. If you're bored when you approach the fridge, it's a sin.
