[Sca-cooks] a Lenten question-

[Aurelia Rufinia]

I took a psychology of food abuse calss, and one fo
the things we talked about was cultural eating habits.
 And the Prof hypothesiszed that it's no coin- umm..
can't spell.. random quirk that Lent happens to fall
at the end fo winter/early spring - for millenia there
wasn't going to be a lot of preserved food, meat  or
dairy left over from the winter, so "choosing" not to
eat it, or saying "i can't eat this becasue God said
so" is a lot easier to handle than "OMG we have no
foooood!!!  I want some fresh cheese and I want it
NOW!"
