[young womwn] Learn domestic skills instead of how to more artistically paint your face! Learn to be a servant instead of how to compete and be brash and bold.

Many fundamentalist preachers I know could learn how to eat a salad. Know what I mean?

Painting the face may not be as bad as overfilling the belly... ya think?

What a strange non-sequitur. And as to your question, I think not. Gluttony is a sin, but leading others into sexual temptation is a much worse sin. Besides, looking at the younger generation who have been misled by American culture, not only could they learn some moral guidelines, but they could use to eat a few salads of their own. The obesity rate among young people is a national crisis. My teen-age daughter and I were discussing it just this afternon at lunch.

Moreover, the fact that Americans are ballooning into gross obesity is directly related to the breakdown of traditional family life. Family meals have been replaced by McDonalds. Certainly one of the very first responsibilities of all wives and mothers is to prepare and present healthful, nourishing food to their families. If Americans are beginning more and more to resemble Goodyear blimps, then the situation described in the article above is the first place to look for the cause.
