Oh - and Medieval Religious based 'fasting' had nothing to do with 'not eating' - merely 'what to eat' not 'less to eat' - it was social control, pure and simple, allegedly red meat 'inflamed the passions' but the Hanseatic League made political submissions to the Pope to increase the amount of fish in the diet, so they could make more money - nothing 'religiously moral' about that ... even Muslim 'fasting' merely means to not eat solid food during daylight hours, you can stuff yourself comatose after sunset.
