I have found a Levitical commandment that I need to obey...

[Abiel]

chapter 7:22-25

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden
22 The LORD said to Moses, 23 "Say to the Israelites: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats. 24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be [a] made to the LORD must be cut off from his people.

Thou shalt not eat fat! That's a message I need to hear!

 

[D.W.Washburn]

I have to be careful about eating fat...

...it goes to my head.

 

[Freedom&Light]

I'm allergic to fat.




It makes me gain weight.

 

[AngelusSax]

Fat makes me fat... er... fatter... I'm already fat...

But I just can't seem to stop myself (I don't eat the fat of meat, but I eat a lot of fat grams in ice cream...)

I prefer to look at my weight in relation to Lev. 3:16,

"The fat is the Lord's"

You, sir, have just won the internet!

Do you hand it over to your pastor every month or year or something?

 

[D.W.Washburn]

Was that the sound of the fat lady singing?

Just think what a better place the world would be if we obeyed 'thou shalt not eat fat'!

 

[Loki]

What about blood sausage?

 

[Abiel]

Ah well. 'Tis a very fatty thing a blood sausage. It is fat that the blood binds. So I reckon it's out on fat alone!

(very very yummy though )

Was that the sound of the fat lady singing?

Pretty much!

I AM the fat lady! XD

 

[RedTulipMom]

actually fat doesnt make you fat..carbs do.. lol

 

[Multi-Elis]

cool it. I know you're all half joking, but animal fat IN MODERATION is not what causes people to get fat. (Eskimos need to eat a lot of it to survive, though)

 

[Freedom&Light]

I was just teasing. Actually, I find that I eat less on a higher-fat diet (like Atkins), because I'm so full all the time.

Hee! It's still a cute thread, though!

 

[Adammi]

Actually, you are too liberal in your interpretation.
Leviticus 3:16 literally means that the more fat we eat the fatter we become and, since the fat is the Lord's, the fatter we become the more of the Lord's we become. Thus saith the Lord.

Ugh... I should have read this before sitting down to a plate of rice crispies

 

[Jn207]

Either way, I KNOW I need to be more prudent about stewarding my body.
