Many complain in the Parish that I am far too skinny and need to put on some more weight. My thanks to Fr Heron for pointing out the problem here, and why I desist afternoon Tea!
A British politician has just said that obese people have only themselves to blame. He has the cheek to accuse Fat Brits of gluttony!
Since when has one of the seven deadly sins been the reason for people to be fat?
No. It’s over-size chocolate bars and BIG Tubs of Ice Cream and KFC that are to blame. You’ve got to put the whole lot in your mouth. About six years ago, a national survey of about 2,500 religious leaders showed that 76 percent of clergy were either overweight or obese, compared with 61 percent of the general population. In Australia clergy are fatter than construction managers, the local banker or the computer whizz down the street .It has been suggested that seminaries teach ordinands to eat properly when they are unleashed into Church Cake Stalls and Parish Breakfasts. Churches in the the US, Britain and Australia are awash with cakes, jams, quiches and sausages, and the Vicar has to eat the whole lot.
Not me, Fr David! I’m a coffee only sort of guy!
