Obesity in the church.

One of my friends, who shall be unnamed, remarked that Obesity is the ultimate sign that the church is not a community of welcome. Obesity demonstrates that we care more about ourselves and our own avaricious desires than we do about those people who are underfed.

As we near Thanksgiving, I've been mulling that over. What do you think?

Is obesity a sign of being selfish? Or is food something we look to for comfort in instead of our faith? Or are we just to busy to eat right and exercise?

those describe somebody who only cares about themselves...so I guess comfort and a crazy schedule both exemplify selfishness
