Now I will admit that one tends to lead to the other, but one can be glutonous without being obese, don't you think. Perhaps it is gluttony in moderation. How very Aristotelean that is.Clint Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534333959460032669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399622.post-1118678504492365382005-06-13T09:01:00.000-07:002005-06-13T09:01:00.000-07:00I for one am impressed.

I can imagine a fast that included only liquids--therefore, beer and wine and soup would all be OK. Of course, I'd end up pureeing brownies or apple pie and sipping those from a straw.<BR/>Still, it sounds like much self-control was applied. And whatever pastries were eaten were my fault entirely.....Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795554401570611521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399622.post-1118676023898460652005-06-13T08:20:00.000-07:002005-06-13T08:20:00.000-07:00Yes, it's clear that fasting is best done in a mon...Yes, it's clear that fasting is best done in a monastic environment--aka, w/o pubs, pints, book clubs, or beer-swilling, sausage-and-taco-eating (I read his blog) spouses. <BR/><BR/>Plus, don't you think a five-day fast is too damn long?Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10646181766775405935noreply@blogger.com
