Yom Shevi'i Shalom,
When we eat, have we ever thought of eating as a pleasure? I would say that I did but that is, actually, not an appropriate thing to do...
Why? One simple reason: have you seen animals stuffed themselves with foods? Have you ever seen plants over-photosynthesise until its fruits become so big or its stem filled with starch granules? That will be unthinkable... Obesity exists in the animal world, only when the animal is forced to eat by either its owner or its herder!
If only we eat like the non-humans, then everything will be eliminated. No more obesity and no more cardiovascular diseases. If only we learn modesty of eating from a dog or a cat for example...
So what we should do? Don't overstuff yourself and yes, this should be directed to me too!!!
This is almost like a community message suddenly. Note this:

This is almost like a community message suddenly. Note this:
"A righteous person eats to satisfy his soul (Proverbs 13:25)"
So why we eat? To serve HaShem! Especially for us Gentiles, should eat more to make this world a better place, to make this world truly habitable... To build peace and to remind ourselves of the duty. The holiest task should be left to the Jews, not of our meddling...
Subsequently, just do what we should. eat accordingly, like an animal (with etiquette of course) and don't overstuff...
Yom Shevi'i Shalom,
Henri the Overweight...
