Do you drink caffeinated sodas? If not why not? Is it part of the lds health laws prohibitions?

Here's what I don't get: why they take the "Coke" thing so seriously but ignore the commands about eating meat. AT THE SAME TIME!

Remember, I live right here in Utah. At work luncheons or BBQs, or around my neighborhood, I will see my Mormon friends, neighbors and coworkers holding a Sprite in one hand and a double cheeseburger with the other.

Tritip steak is almost a sacrament. Dutch oven cookoffs are a man-sport around here and Chili and Brisket recipes abound. There are entire cookbooks and websites with Mormon recipes for meat. Just google "Mormon Beef Recipes".

And the potbellies, ahem, "testify" to the well-fed-ness of these people, and they can't blame the beer now, can they. I hear plenty of complaints among the middle-aged men around here about cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, TBM, Jack Mormon and "gentile" alike.

Seems like a Diet Coke and a tuna salad sandwich would be much more in the spirit of the law, whcih is supposedly to guard one's health.

Remember, this is their SCRIPTURE, not a suggestion. Also note the promises made to those who keep this law - I'm afraid there are plenty of LDS around here that get very weary from walking and would die of a heart attack if they tried to run. (Blasemphy to Isaiah a whole 'nother thread)
