We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Guns do not kill people, people kill people.
Food does not make us fat, people are responsible for making themselves at through overeating, lack of exercise etc.
Just like with everything else, we must take responsibity for our own actions and not blame other things or people for our own poor choices.
Something to think about.
We all know that thought is full of calories.
Ali,
I think we all know that food doesn't make us fat, but the context when saying it does (or doesn't, as I note) has to do with actually eating it or not eating it. Her contention is that eating food won't make you fat if you don't think it will.
So sad that people believe this foolishness, when it makes zero sense medically or spiritually. You're right, Glenn, "The Secret" sounds like the same erroneous teaching that is promoted by the wof heretics.
Except for people with legitimate medical conditions that prohibit/restrict eating certain foods, or that make maintaining a healthy weight more challenging than usual, these verses should be the wisdom for a believer:
1 Timothy 4:1-5
Matthew 6:25
Romans 14
I'm sure there are others but those are the ones that came right to mind. :)
