I have been reading Robert Farrar Capon's The Supper of the Lamb recently and I came across the following quote:
Should a true man want to lose weight, let him fast. Let him sit down to nothing but coffee and conversation, if religion or reason bid him do so; only let him not try to eat his cake without having it. Any cake he could do that with would be a pretty spooky proposition - a little golden calf with dietetic icing, and no taste at all worth having.
Let us fast, then - whenever we see fit, and as strenuously as we should. But having gotten that exercise out of the way, let us eat.Just a thought on a culture that has become obsessed with the substitute.
Speaking of the real... check out what I made for Thanksgiving (no egg substitutes, margarine, or saccharine here)
