legalmooseBehold the wisdom that is Marn:
The way they discuss certain foods puts me in mind of the way theologians discuss the gravity of certain sins. When did food choices become moral choices? Sure, some foods are healthier than others, but if you choose to eat less healthy foods does that make you a bad person?
The trainer at my gym was already being shoved into the gym equivalent of the confessional.
"Forgive me, trainer, for I have sinned."
"Go on, my child."
"Well, trainer, I ate pie. I ate a big honking piece of pumpkin pie last night and my mother-in-law is bringing over pecan pie for Thanksgiving and I know there's no way I can refuse pecan pie."
"Go on, my child."
"And what's the point of living if you can't have mashed potatoes and gravy on Thanksgiving?"
"Half an hour on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the Stairmaster, 15 minutes on the stationary bicycle. Go forth my child and pie no more."
Pie no more.
