People use food for pleasure, ecstacy, a coping mechanism… in fact, people use many things to replace God, or to run away from the realities of this world God either creates or permits. Food is intended to nourish us, not to replace God, not to take the edge off a broken marriage, a sickly child, or a bad day at the office!*

*In all actuality, many people do not even understand the meaning of the phrase “and give us this day our daily bread.” From the book “The Imitation of Christ”, Christ States that in giving us our daily bread, God gives us our daily mission (in life).
