Religion and Food

I have recently been thinking and laughing over this quote. It's from Alcatraz vs. the Shattered Lens by Brandon Sanderson. It's the fourth book in a funny series. I thought this was worth sharing.

Religions, in the Hushlands, are basically about food.
That's right, food. In following one religion or another, you end up boycotting certain foods. If you become Hindu, for instance, you give up beef. Mormons give up alcohol and coffee. Catholics can eat pretty much whatever they want, but have to give up the stuff they like the most for one month a year, while Muslims give up all food during the daytime hours of Ramadan.
So which religion is the best? Well, it depends. In my cultivated opinion, I'd suggest Judaism.
But that's because I prefer the path of yeast resistance.

Love this series and I recommended it to several people this summer! Have you read the 3 Penderwick books that just came out?
