Fasting is a very good scripturally and medically based concept. Unfortunately, "fasting" to some persons means the "faster" they can get through the buffet line, the "faster" they can get back to their table... not exactly the right way to go about "fasting".
It has been observed that some persons have a unique condition in their arms and elbows which contributes to their weight gain... the "inability to push themselves away from the table".
