Big Babies

Obesity continues to be a problem in countries around the world and even affects the unborn. In Great Brittan, pregnant women are being given diabetic medication to reduce levels of insulin in their bloodstream. This in an effort to avoid babies born 11 pounds or greater. The real problem is the amount of food the mothers consume before and during pregnancy. Their inability to control what they eat brings obesity to them and the next generation.

The bible is clear on overeating. Gluttony and drunkenness are usually mentioned together.  At the heart of the matter is ungratefulness. The bible tells us that when we are full and satisfied, we are to praise the name of the Lord. We are to give glory to the One who blessed us with the bread we eat and give thanks. Too many people allow food and drink to control them. God gave us food to live, but man should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
