Re: Fatties must DIEt or...
Wasted is more apt a word.
Biblical times did not offer Fritos and sour cream and chives and ice cream and pizza and Oreos and Irish coffee.
We know by the "modern" Atkins diet that an all-meat-all-fat diet is slimming, not fattening.
Almost none of the ancients were overweight.
Fatitude was admired, though rarely seen. It was admired for fat denoted wealth. Wealth allowed idleness and a surfeit of sweet starchy foods and excess of drink (also fattening).
Therefore, you are wrong. The fatted calf was one thing. The fatted man? Hardly to be seen.
How many fat people are noted-as-such in the Bible?
One last thing: Look at, say England. Check out a street scene in some typical nice English town; say, Banbury? Compare the average weight of the regular people there, with, say, the weight of the porcine Hutts you see on any given day on Mainstreet, USA.
Other nations may be catching up to us, and are, but we've got them beat by a cow.
mooo, Brother Eliot. Are you not slim?

I'm sorry but the amount of uninformed clap trap on this thread has me madder than Samson with a jawbone of an ass!
The word fat is in the Bible nearly 1,000 times! The word diet? NO!
However the word Dieth is in there!
Think about this next time you go on a "Dieth"!
1 Kings, chapter 14
"11": Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
The word, "lite"? NO!
WE all know the lord prefers meat to veggies. We all know the good Lord loves a bar be que.
God made us so we get fat and don't have to gouge out our eyes everytime we go standing up. That's why skinny people should go sitting down, or with their eyes closed. Come to think of it, sitting down is a bit homerish.
God gave us beef to eat. Big marbled thick juicy steaks with baked potatoes drowning in sour cream and butter!
The pope is skinny. Great role model there!
