Food For The Gods

on
In H.G. Wells's book, Food of the Gods, two scientists discover the recipe for a growth agent which they see as a great benefit for the future life of man on earth. They set out to experiment by purchasing a small farm and feeding the new food to a number of hens. Unfortunately, both hens and food manage to find their way out and then, suddenly there are huge hens as well as wasps and rats to terrify the local community! Man should, I suppose stick to their own food. While we would unwisely take His food, offer ours to Him and see and He'd probably not take it. But what the heck, we could always finish it off ourselves! That's the whole motive!

I just wonder WHO eats all that food? Sure not the God's?

Could there be a connection to the many obese monks one can see?

It's for the God but since he doesn't eat everything given like every other greedy fool, let the fool eat it and get fat and sick instead. Mm..mm.. monks, I think are not supposed to eat too much. They have precepts to follow and I have come across a nun who will stop eating after twelve noon. She is thin.
