Both are half measures just shy of producing any real benefit to mankind.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nontheless, the point is there: some religions do seek to control eating and drinking, at least for a limited time. Let's be clear about this; religions control the things people do, from trivial stuff like not shaving or wearing a turban to sexual behaviour and eating habits. Think about kosher and halal. It's all about control, isn't it?

It really is, it bugs me. The psychological control it can have through peer pressure and social assimilation is astounding. Just like this guy, he never had a chance when you are indoctrinated as a kid and face social ostracizing because 90% of your friends are religious.
I would be a televangelist....but I have too much of a soul.

You need to try some bacon, post-haste. After that, try it covered in chocolate.
