Changed my Lent fast
Posted in Health, Religion on February 23rd, 2008 by Aren Cambre – 1 CommentAfter 16 days, I changed my Lent fast.
A diet minus “trashy carbs” is a painstaking adventure in ingredient watching. Instead of being an effective spiritual exercise, this fast put undue burdens on others, dramatically increased food spending, and often left me feeling malnourished.
It was too much an exercise in legalism.
I have reverted to prior years’ Lent fasts: no bona fide dessert foods.
