Many Mormons almost make up for all the stuff they avoid by eating more than a healthy portion of sugar.

I think the LDS church should advocate portion control as well as lowering their intake of meat. I can't understand why so many members are over weight when the teachings clearly say to eat meat during times of famine/winter. I turned vegetarian a couple of years ago and the looks I got from the reflief society sisters were good enought to kill a cow. :) Loved the post!
