But we, as if we had come into the world for this purpose, spend everything for eating” (27-28). At the beginning life was not made for eating, but eating for life. For we were not born, we do not live, in order to eat and drink but we eat in order to leave. Another way of saying this is that our desires and consumption must be rightly ordered: “…let us accustom ourselves to eat only enough to live, not enough to be distracted and weighed down.
