We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

We Are Addicted

The food industry has learned how to produce addictive foods that are unhealthy but otherwise rewarding to eat.  That industry reaps huge rewards from our addiction to their foods.  If you feel that this is a little "extreme," check out an ABC Science posting entitled, "Fast food's tasty tricks keep you eating." It is well worth the read. Amen.
