A Spiritual Food Fight: How Cancel Culture Weaponizes Food To Bully The Faithful
One way to think of the battle between good and bad is as if it were a messy food fight.
God originally designed food to encourage health, unity, comfort and goodness. However, when the enemy has control of it, it gives Cancel Culture the perfect opportunity to attack the dinner tables and people around them.
Chick-fil A was hit by the 2020 riots. a wave of protestsDespite the fact that its employees are kind, they serve everyone with a gracious smile. “my pleasure.” The owner, Dan Cathy, a Christian, didn’t want to provide financial aid to LGBTQ organizations. His company donated millions of dollars to help the poor, homeless, and hungry. But that’s not enough for Cancel Culture.
These social justice warriors who are supposed to respect diversity and protect freedom of expression did everything they could to eliminate Jack Phillips, a Colorado cake decorator. Phillips was sued by a gay couple for failing to decorate their wedding cakes to celebrate their union. This was against his Christian beliefs about marriage. That gay couple went to great lengths to destroy this man’s livelihood. It took the Supreme Court to finally decide in favor of this man’s conscience and the freedom of religious expression. The group is trying to force a Christian into baking a cake for a heterosexual wedding. However, they would never ask a vegan to cook a burger.
Cancel Culture advocates want to be seen as agents of principle and high morality, but they are hypocrites. They demand things like children. But they are more than just tears and tantrums.
A deeper truth is that militant vegans seek to impose a moral culinary culture on everyone. They believe that eating meat is cruel to animals. According to them, veganism will save the planet — even though the planet existed just fine for millions of years without them.
I love vegetables as a chef and I’m always puzzled by why vegans want to replicate the flavor of meat. Ethical treatment is good. Ethical treatment of animals only makes it easier to produce a better product for slaughtering. The natural food supply is being threatened, as is the mental and physical health of humans.
Cancel Culture is filled with hypocrisy. Although its agents claim to be inclusive and all-inclusive, they make havoc by closing down restaurants owned by Christians and bullying customers who vote differently. Worst of all, while they are committed to saving creation, they would be happy to kill an unborn baby. They believe that women need another mouth to eat. But they can’t actually define what a “A” is. “woman.”
Although I would prefer that these examples were more common, Cancel Culture is close at hand.
Baltimore’s breweries have banned me from selling food to their customers. Because I’m a priest and a chef, they decided that the truck was not sufficiently woken up to serve food. Even though the truck provides jobs for formerly incarcerated or disadvantaged communities and food for the poor, they want to close it down.
Cancel Culture wants to dictate who eats and when. They believe they are the ones who have the moral authority and right to decide whether someone is hungry or if they eat like kings. Cancel Culture opponents are well prepared. They can find comfort in the words and wisdom of St. Teresa de Avila who stated, “When it’s time to fast it’s time to fast. But, when it’s time to feast, it’s time to feast!” The reward for the righteous will come at the heavenly banquet in due time.
Despite this dismal dietary outlook on what we’re force-fed by Cancel Culture, we have a recipe for hope. Jesus is food for salvation, while the devil used food as food. All we have to do is hunger for God, and choose the right foods to nourish our minds, bodies, and souls. That’s why God became food!
Because we are hungry for the Eternal Banquet, in heaven, we will not win the entire fight in the earthly food battle. To help us eat and digest the true, good, and beautiful aspects of life, here are some simple tips:
Regularly eat with your family. These benefits have been scientifically supported. This shared action makes us stronger. “companions” — a word that describes sharing bread with others.Serve those who go without, and consider eating with them. Serving others with charity and missionary work helps us to value each morsel as a gift of God and celebrate the feasts with gusto. Go ahead, drink a beer on Saint Patty’s Day, but also say a prayer to cast out the
