Self-Control in an Addicted World — Shane Idleman

Self-Control and the Conflict Between Flesh and Spirit

The message this morning is one that we probably hear from most people on in regarding the subject I'm going to talk about where God is dealing with hearts and breaking addictions breaking bondages. And the title is this self control in an addicted world.

Self-control in an addicted world. I did cover a little bit of this on a Wednesday night a few weeks ago but I thought it was very relevant and important especially going into New Year's. Because you know what the number one New Year's resolution is right other than weight loss it's I need to stop you filling the bank.

I need to stop this. I need to remove this from my life and I believe that this this topic is so important because of this reason it will definitely affect our worship our relationship with the Lord. Because when the flesh is dominating it's very hard to be filled with the Spirit.

It'll affect your worship. The reason a lot of people don't like to worship. And if you were actually bored during worship especially that worship there's a good chance the flesh has been dominating because anytime the flesh is dominating in your life you want to feed more of the flesh.

You want to. You want to go to let me. Maybe a better understanding of this word is the things of the world loving the things that can you love the things of the world and love God at the same time. Shane do you have any scriptural support for that.

He who loves the world does not love the love of the Father is not in him. You cannot serve two masters. So that's my my really encouragement to you this morning is not to beat you up with a lot of scriptures but to convict you that we can't not be filled with the Spirit and the flesh at the same time they will oppose each other.

And that's why I believe many people when they give into the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye the pride of life they don't have the they don't have God working powerfully in their lives. They've quenched and grieved the Spirit of God.

Addiction as Idolatry and Spiritual Bondage

Let me just read some statistics. And before I do that you might want to know what the the definition of addiction is. I think Webster defines it as giving yourself over to a habit and then becoming dependent upon that habit.

In biblical terms it's actually a lot stronger. It can become addiction can become idolatry. It can become a form of idolatry putting something before God. Have you ever said I have to have this. I have to I have to have this.

Don't talk to me until I have this. No matter what time I go by a Starbucks that line is around the corner especially in the morning. Beep beep beep. I have to have it. I have to have it. Or of course worse things right.

I have to have this drink or I have to have this pill. I I have to have it. So in biblical terms it's actually a stronghold. It's not just a habit. It's a stronghold. It's something that has a strong hold on your life.

And it doesn't want to let go. That's why it's so hard it the flesh is. I'm holding on to this whatever it is. And I don't want to let go. But God wants us to be free of that. So we can be filled with the Spirit of God.

Did you know that the fruit of the Spirit the last indication of the fruit of the Spirit is what self control. And sometimes people think that there are different fruits. Well I'm good I have goodness and love and peace.

But I don't have these other ones. It's actually not a bunch of fruit that you can choose from. The fruit of the Spirit is complete love joy peace contentment long-suffering gentleness pain pain gentleness.

There we go. You know what it is first Corinthians gentleness kindness self-control. And they all go together. Don't they. Because when self is controlling me I'm not very loving I'm not very patient.

I'm not long-suffering. I'm not gentle. I mean I'm angry. What is what most people are mean. And angry because self is controlling them. So somebody being filled the Spirit of God a byproduct is self-control.

It doesn't say perfect self-control or we would all fall off in this area. But when you fall off you get back on. You say Lord help me and you submit that area to Christ. So it's a byproduct of being a spirit-filled believer is to tell the flesh.

No to control the flesh. I know this is hard to believe. But as believers we are called to discipline the flesh. You can tell the flesh. No. You ever hear that from people. I just couldn't say no. I just can't stop.

But as a believer I believe as a believer we can do that. Yes it's difficult. Yes it's challenging. But greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world. Now the context of that scripture I just quoted is.

And John is talking about false prophets and being able to discern what spirit is of God. What spirit is of a false prophet. I'll be talking about that in March. I'm sorry mid-January and hope maybe into March is just a quick four-week study.

The Scope of Addiction in Families and Society

But let me just read some statistics that you have in front of you. There are an estimated 15 million alcoholics and 10 million drug addicts in this country. 40 Listen this 40 of all family problems brought to domestic court are alcohol related.

40 in the courthouse. So they're domestic related. Over a hundred and fifty thousand teens use cocaine 500 ,000 use marijuana once or more per week. And half a million junior and senior high students are weekly binge drinkers.

And an estimated 10 to 15 million teens need treatment for abuse each year. Well Shane that doesn't really relate to me. Well don't worry I'm still going on this list. I'm getting there. 5 to 10 million people are addicted to prescription drugs now.

Personally I don't know where they get these numbers because most people aren't honest about their addiction. So I would conservatively add quite a bit to these numbers. 40 to 80 million 40 to 80 million Americans.

I don't even know what is our population now. 350 million. Are we talking. Are we talking 25 or 30 percent of our population suffer from compulsive overeating and 5 to 15 percent will die from its consequences in any given year.

There are an estimated 2 .5 million pathological gamblers and another 3 million compulsive gamblers in the United States. It's a 500 billion dollar a year industry in the suicide rate for this population is 20 times higher 20 times higher than any other people group that struggle with something.

These to me these are serious issues. Why is that so high. Because if you fortunately I've never had you know dealt with this. I'm not gonna give somebody money and just hope it works out. But gambling is huge and you begin to lose things.

You begin to go thinking I'll bet on that and lose that. And if I could just borrow some money and then now that's gone and maybe take a note out on my house and and maybe the devil let you win a few hands pull that roulette ball landed on black.

I knew it try it again. It's gonna be right every single time until he gets what he wants. And it begins that you begin to lose everything. Your marriage your family your job your house. You see I just can't quit.

So what happens. Suicide is the only way out for many people that don't have a relationship with the Lord. There are currently 300 million catches 300 million pornographic websites websites. I just I've got to check this.

I'm thinking 3 million. I mean what is going on here. 300 million because people scream give me more. What do they give you more more more. This is alarming to 30 30 of minors. Think about all the kids in our church.

All the kids you know 30 of them have admitted or have agreed to meet someone they know only through the internet. And I didn't want to get too convicting on these last points. For those of us who have kids but the newest addiction now that they are concerned about is what little five-year-olds give me that phone like there's a demon in them in their eyes give me that phone and they walk around like zombies.

Give me that phone give me that iPad. Give me YouTube. I have to watch something. They are addicted at a very young age and they're saying that addiction only increases as they get older. What you're instilling in them now at 15 will have huge ramifications because little five-year-olds who couldn't put that down at 5 is not gonna give it up at 15 when pornography begins to grab them and gambling online begins to grab them and bowling all these things begin to grab them in is an addiction that is waving weaving its way through our families.

Now I know it's hard. I came in sometimes. Take the phone and be quiet. Oh I need some sleep. I need some peace. I need to get things done. But you can regulate it. Your Wi-Fi has an off button off mom.

The Internet's not working. I think it's a power outage this week. Let's let's God forbid let's go outside and play. I mean I would go outside and climb trees and make stick forts and stuff for and then Atari came along.

I'm dating myself I know. But so here's the hope though folks. There's hope. There's always hope. And I was reading this week and it gave me some some encouragement. I wanted to give to you that when David defeated Goliath we have to remember that Goliath still had relatives.

Some say he had brother some say he had sons. But those relatives of Goliath eventually came and went out David again and almost got him when he was wore down another man had to come and kill this giant.

And there are things in your life that the enemy will will throw at you. You might conquer it you might overcome it. But it's coming. It might come back. And you'll say I dealt with this years ago. I thought I'd.

What happened. What's wrong with me. Welcome to the battle. Welcome to the warfare. If it's a struggle in your life the enemy's often going to come back and look for that again. The same the same point of entrance that he had on you.

He's going to come back and try it again. I remember when he was when the enemy tempted Jesus. The Bible says that he waited he withdrew his temptation and he was going to wait for an opportune time waiting.

And so be encouraged in that knowing if yes you've defeated Goliath before but he might come again and it might have to fight the battle again. The reason I'm telling you that is because we become discouraged and we say what is wrong with me.

I as a Christian I thought I've overcame this. I'm not giving you permission to run back to something right. But I'm telling you if I thought I overcame this what's what's happening here. I must be losing my faith.

I must be losing my mind. God doesn't must not love me. I must. What's going on. No it's the attack of the enemy. He's using the same thing. And what he uses against you. He might not use against me. Correct what he uses against me.

You might not use against you. We all have areas where he knows the opportune times and he will use those. And you have to know yourself. We need self-control in an addicted world. Now here's the challenge.

Balancing Human Responsibility and Divine Help

It's a balancing act because I don't want anybody leaving here thinking if I could just I just white knuckle it. I'll just I'll just say no and grin and bear it. I'll just I'll just apply willpower my whole life.

I'll just I'll just mmm you know you have this kind of this. Oh no no no no no no Chuck E. Cheese no Cold Stone no Panda Express. I'm starting my fast. I'm starting my diet and you just I'm just gonna white knuckle it.

I'm just gonna willpower. That's not the teaching of the Bible. But here's another dangerous side. All right. God just take it away. I've got to make some serious changes as I'm sitting in the Carl's Jr. drive-thru.

Or the gambler who said God please please. I'm ruining my family. Take this away. But he's on the 15 freeway heading to Vegas. Lord I have got to lose weight. Well it's Krispy Kreme. Is not your friend in television set.

See we there's a there's the Bible calls us to make decisions. It says do this and I will do this. Say no and I will fill you with my with my spirit. Turn from that wickedness and be filled with the Spirit of God.

Seek me and you will find me. Turn from that and turn to me. So it's this balancing act that is challenging. But we don't want to put one emphasis over the other. Now I truly believe God can change a person.

And he and I've prayed Lord change people in the prayer room many times and change this area. And by the grace of God he sometimes just takes it away. Praise God. But there are other times where there's a battle.

It's hell trying to get rid of this stronghold. It's something has a stronghold in our lives and usually it's something that's been repeated and repeated and repeated. And if you could get you know into cognitive thinking patterns in the brain and brain chemistry.

In this you start to form a habit and it's a stronghold in your body begins to to go back to that bondage back to that stronghold. And I believe that willpower can be overpowered if we always try to fight it and we never flee to God.

And remember this. You can't cast out the flesh. So many people say that demon of gluttony get out of me. I'm that demon of gluttony. Would you get out of me. That demon of alcohol. Would you get out that demon of overeating.

That demon of Hershey's chocolate. That demon of the big Thanksgiving dinner. The demon the deep you get out. Get out. Get out. No the flesh. The flesh can't be cast out. The flesh has to be what crucified subdued disciplined restraint restrained.

So let me just share a few scriptures with you. Proverbs 23 to. I love how Proverbs just goes right to it. They don't even try to be seeker sensitive. They would never be able to publish books these days.

Put a knife to your throat if you're given to gluttony. Another translation says don't stuff yourself. Bridle your appetite. And I've shared with the first service. This is not an area where I've never struggled.

Obviously I like to eat too much. You know Thanksgiving dinner. All these little portions. Give me a second plate or a third plate. Right. One stick of gum. I want the whole pack. One little donut. Give me six.

You know it's it's it's. It's the flesh wanting more. And a few commentaries that might be helpful. Are these. Ellicott said use the strongest methods to keep your appetite in check. The strongest methods.

Barnes and these guys were commentaries. Wrote commentaries hundreds of years ago. He said restrained by appetite. Eat as if the knife were at my throat. And the Septuagint. The Septuagint is interesting.

It was the the Hebrew Old Testament. The Old Testament you have was written in Hebrew 70. It also has a I think LXX. It's often called LXX 70 because they had 70 translators translating it into Greek.

For the Greek speaking world. Hundreds hundreds and thousands of you. I don't know exactly. I want to. I'll come back on that one a long time ago they believe was even before Jesus's time or around there.

They said this. The reader is encouraged not to attend parties of the wealthy where every temptation imaginable is there. So all of the commentators see this as well. Restrain your appetite. Restrain that appetite.

Because your flesh says this. Always remember this. We think the flesh is our friend. Don't we. Mm-hmm. The flesh says feed me so I can destroy you. Feed me feed me feed me so I can destroy you. This gets me in trouble sometimes.

But I've committed to speak the truth in love. It's this. The problem with our healthcare system is not more money. It's what we're doing to our bodies. It's what we're putting in our mouth and what we're eating what we're consuming what we're not doing.

That's just the truth the honest of God truth for everyone. Of course not. I'm not naive. But they want to throw more money at it. That's not the problem. And one of my big I don't I don't even know what to do with it.

But I see when people genuinely need help assistant living or assistant living. And also food food stamps. Why can't we get them the best food instead of the garbage. And I tell people I'll tell you now you they drop off food for our food pantry please bring healthy things.

I don't want to see Captain Crunch in a box. You know for their kids that are already starving of malnutrition food coloring poison all this stuff. And we're not giving them life. So we're hurting the system by not helping more in this area.

You have the and I'm going to talk about this on Saturday. Let me just do a rabbit trail for a minute. When you consume food you're either taking life-giving food that gives life to the body or you're consuming dead food from a factory that gives death.

There's nothing in a box. It's in process chemicalized and they can last 10 year. Twinkie last 10 years there's a problem with that and you're gonna consume that. So you're supposed to eat that carrot that apple that has enzymes fiverr the all that the enzymes that digestion all these things that are wonderful for the body.

You eat that that gives life to the body that rejuvenates your cell at the microchondria level the basic element of cell it begins to grow and thrive in this healthy environment. You give it junk and you are going to create some type of disease some type of inflammation some type of diabetes some type of health related illness.

So how is throwing money at a system going to fix it. It has to be fixed from within. Not a lot of amens I know it hurts a little bit but that is the truth. That is the that's exactly what's happening.

Do you know one of the biggest. There's a lot of rabbit trails on the second service here. The one of the biggest increases right now is a type 2 diabetes. You're well aware of that. Do you know why it's called type 2 not type 1.

Type 1 is nothing you can do about it. You don't have insulin. Type 2 is it's diet related. Diet related. Meaning you can get rid of it by changing your diet instead of doing that. Give me more insulin.

Insulin is not a friend to fat loss. Insulin is a hormone that does what signals the body to take the glucose that was broken down from your food that sugar and store that as fat. More insulin more fat.

Glucagon would be the opposite hormone that would help in fat loss. And so these are health diet related diseases. Somebody goes to the doctor and they say oh high cholesterol. This okay let me get you on a statin drug.

30 40 billion dollar a year industry. The statin drug that drug tells your liver to stop producing cholesterol. Cholesterol is not the problem. God gave us cholesterol because it has many good functions.

The LDL the high-density lipids and the low deal low-density lipodes. The balance there is God given. It's what we're consuming. It's what we're putting in our bodies. That's the problem. So how do you stop this self-control and addicted world.

Have you. Is it just me or I drive. I'm like there's a Panda Express. There's an In-N-Out burger. There's a El Pollo Loco. There's a Carl's Jr. Where is the organic garden vegetable salad on the corner.

You guys y 'all need to be here Saturday cuz you know it's true. And I know you feel better when you take care of yourself. The reason we don't serve in ministry is because we don't feel good. The reason we can't make it all the time is because we don't feel good.

The reason we can't function well in life is because we don't feel good. So instead of running and doing the things that will help us feel better we run back to the addiction. Isn't it funny. How that works.

You jump run back to the bottle. I feel better for two hours. But now I've got two days of hell. So I just subtract. I just took two days of two hours of feeling good for two days of hell. And an addiction tricks us Proverbs 23.

Do not join with those who drink too much or gorge themselves on meat for drunkards and gluttons become poor. Gluttony basically means to gulp down their God is their belly. So he's telling us to stop in these this area.

1st Corinthians 927 Paul said I discipline my body. What. Like an athlete. How many of you. I'm wondering. Look at the Christian life as you should look at athletics. The Bible always uses examples of athletics farming or soldier.

Those are how we're viewed how the illustrations throughout the Bible an athlete a farmer or a soldier. There's warfare there's farming there's planning there's reaping there's sowing. But there's also an athlete trained.

You've got to be in your best condition because it affects how you you you you you live spiritually. If you don't believe me next Sunday I'm just throwing it out there. I'm not gonna do this. I want to have a six-pack before I come up.

Let's see if it affects. Let's just try this out. No to Zanuck Xanax. Let's let's see if I can get through this. I'm tired. What's going on here. Oxy like it in what you see it affects. It affects. I'll even take this further six doughnuts and a vent a coffee.

I would be your worst nightmare. It's like Christian crack. I just went in and in the hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up get through this. You see because the flesh it affects you in a very in who you are all week is who you are.

When God calls you do spiritual things as well being an athlete being prepared. Another translation says I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. I control my body. And a loose translation says no sloppy living for me.

I'm staying alert and in top condition. When was the last time we looked at the Christian faith as being in top condition. Here's why we here's a mistake I make and I even hear from pastors. And boy it it really makes me mad.

The reason most pastors don't talk about all the stuff. I'm talking about food and them because they themselves are addicted to food and things and it's hard to talk about what you've never been set free from.

And they said brother we just need to be concentrating on spiritual things. I just I can't exercise. I have to pray. I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. Right. George Strait. That's not.

No that's not true. You actually pray better when your body isn't disciplined. Because disciplining the flesh leads to a disciplined prayer life leads to a disciplined devotional life leads to a disciplined worship life.

Some of the best times I've ever had in prayer and putting sermons together is when I spent an hour and a half two hours in the desert with nothing but God and the road ahead of me. I'll stop. I'll start writing down stuff for you.

The sermon notes. You think I just sit down and put this together this year over the whole week of God just do. And it's often when I'm out moving praying seeking God. And you're training your body for what you're prepared.

How am I gonna get if I'm dying. Cardiology. A cardiologist will tell you this. But a cardio cardiovascular activity you know. Bike riding swimming all these things. That's how we were designed. We were designed to sit at home watch a TV and stand a computer all day.

We are designed to walk and to move. And most time especially preaching. I see I can't stand up here for an hour service. I used to preach twice sometimes on Saturday night and I come fill in for pastors twice on Sunday morning.

And and having to and not and being able to endure that that a length of time you it's like an athlete. That's how I view it when I go to the hospital homes and minister. Do you know how many times I would stop and eat something big and say I'm not going there.

I need to go home take a nap come on. Let's just tell the truth. Let's just tell the truth. The flesh affects more than we think. We want to do more for God. But it's got us in a holding pattern. For example if I said listen guys after this service we're just gonna let the worship team loose.

This might be a good idea. I'm praying about this. We're just we're just gonna let the worship team loose for the now we're after the service. We're just gonna we're just gonna worship. Half of you be going.

Oh my lord I'm getting hungry. See. So instead of getting a breakthrough from God you would be heading out the door to fill King stomach to feed King stomach. You see it stops more. It influences more than we think.

Some don't. I can't go to church. I've got to go watch a pigskin go a hundred yards for three and a half hours and watch my and drink this and eat this. And you just missed a move of God's Spirit. See it begins to control what restaurants we go to because they serve certain drinks.

What friends I hang out with. Because they'll smoke with me. They'll drink with me. They'll put out the crystal myth a nice big line right here. And I could do it with them. And then go to church and act as if I'm good.

And that addiction begins to control us and pull us away from the things of God. Come on guys I'm just telling the truth this morning. You know it's a truth. If we abuse the temple it will affect everything from prayer and worship to a relationship with God.

Oh this is gonna be hard. I just just just for fun. I looked up the effects of added sugar high blood pressure inflammation weight gain diabetes and Chris Reese of heart attack stroke cancer. And the reason they're saying is we've went from six teaspoons.

I think it don't give me. I didn't quote don't quote me on this teaspoons or tablespoons. One of the other say six teaspoons in the 1850s of sugar now up to 57 a day 140 pounds a year. And don't take my word for it.

Google this. How did the similarities of sugar and cocaine on the brain. Oh that's impossible. No it's not the way they affect. The neurotransmitters is the same the dopamine the pleasure hormone these things it affects it the same way.

So you coming off sugar is not a lot different than a person coming off of cocaine. Now the withdrawals are gonna be a little bit more severe. But if you ever tried try it just try it later. Just say I'm not having any more sugar later today and tomorrow.

Watch out. Because you'll become the devil your but you'll twist and couture like what is going on. Feed me sugar feed me. But see that controlling aspect. And that's killing the body. What about energy drinks.

Mixing caffeine and sugar and more caffeine and more sugar. And I actually did a memorial service for a friend of mine and some are contributing it. He's 40 years old to energy drinks and and I knew he had an issue 20 years ago.

I didn't know. Still here 15 years ago. And see we're giving the the body says feed me so I can destroy you. And of course we know alcohol. Proverbs 23. Who has woe. In other words who has problems. Who has sorrow.

Who has strife. Who has complaining. Who has wounds without cause. Who has redness of eyes. Those who tarry long over wine. So if this is an issue for you and you're and you're saying why do I always have problems.

Why do I always have sorrow. Why is there always strife in my life. What is wrong. Could it be. Could it be that we need self-control in an addicted world. Even Proverbs 25. If you find honey eat just enough too much of it and you will vomit.

So let me give you this picture. Word word picture. Self-discipline is like a dam and your flesh is the water behind it. You ever see those big dams full of Hoover down the the self-control is that dam that regulates that water.

It'll let out now and then it'll let out you know. So it doesn't overflow. It lets it out a little bit. But the self-control is like the dam. So here's what I've been building up to five points. That was a pretty long introduction.

How do we do. Hmm I'm gonna have to get my introductions down but hopefully you'll make it Saturday I'll talk a lot more about this area. And again just as a word of encouragement I haven't mastered this area for something.

This is me and my wife just laugh all the time. Oh Shane's here hide the snicker. Like or I'll run into people at this grocery store that hi how are you doing. They'll push their cart all the way. I I'm not here.

I've had a donut recently. Fast food. You know it's not. It's not about perfection and it's not about God. I mean I've known people that eat much healthier than I do and they've died of cancer. So there's not a you know one-size-fits-all approach.

But we do know that we are called to be good stewards of what God has given us. Look at the Christian walk as warfare. And you're an athlete not a couch potato. We but we think that spiritual. It's spiritually.

You're too earthly minded. Shane. No I'm trying to be spiritually good. I'm trying when I'm when I'm when I'm focused on training the body disciplining the body. Then the spiritual benefits are huge. So number one.

Taking Responsibility for Bodily Stewardship

Take control and take full responsibility. Did you catch that take control and take full responsibility. Here's some verses I want to share with you. I've read them before but I want you to see them on the screen.

1st Peter 1 through 4 look at these. And you tell me if we're not supposed to discipline our body as obedient children not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance. 1st John all who have this hope in him purify themselves just as he is pure.

Romans 619 tells us to present our bodies as slaves to righteousness. 2nd Peter. What sort of people ought you to be in gluttonous activities and overcoming by your addictions. What's he say in holiness and godliness.

Matthew Henry said the more we follow that which is good the faster and the further we shall flee from that which is evil. So take control and take responsibility. What that means. No excuses. Let's get.

Let's just get rid of the excuses. There's times before I've helped people in this area many even in the fitness industry. But recently different people let's just say for example they're struggling with a lot of anxiety.

I pray with somebody at the first service for this anxiety and you find out that they've heard they're having a lot of caffeine. Say okay. Well let's start with that. Oh no that doesn't affect me. I go right to sleep with it.

You go right to sleep because you're gonna. You're passing out your adrenal glands have been fatigued. You're you're on the you're on. You're about ready to have a nervous wreck. Of course you go right to sleep but you're not getting the good REM rapid eye movement deep sleep where the body heals itself where disease is fought where your cells are rejuvenated and where your body you wake up feeling a good again.

That's addiction and that's hurting your sleep. Sleep is so important for the body to actually sleep and that's when it rebuilds and repairs itself. That's when it does it doesn't do it throughout the day.

Actually it's breaking down right now. Even when you go to the gym and you lift weight you think I'm building muscle. No you're not. You're tearing it down. It rebuilds when you sleep the muscle tissue has been has been broken down has been strained when you sleep when you eat that protein and the the protein and carbohydrates and fats and different things.

But it begins to rebuild the muscle through sleep. Same thing with your mind. Just look at how many. They're linking Alzheimer's. They're linking brain brain diseases often to what sleep depuration. What we're putting in our in our in our body aluminum aspartame all these chemicals.

See there's something called a blood-brain barrier and some of these things get through that and your fat will hold on to some of the toxic waste your body doesn't know to do with all these toxins. Monosodium glutamate MSG number one ingredient in Doritos not to mention the food coloring artificial food coloring not to mention corn from GMO genetically modified organisms that are roundup ready sprayed in and the genes are spliced with roundup type genes where they can spray roundup on the corn and it won't die.

And we're consuming this here kids. Here's some Doritos and and while we're at it here's Gatorade that has more food coloring has a petroleum solvent in there that they use an antifreeze. My god we've got to wake up people here pin drop here a pin drop that that's just the truth.

And again not angry but I see so many people little Johnny what. ADD that was not around when I was little. We had a big paddle for that. Now of course I'm not mocking. I'm not any fun because some of these are real diagnosis the doctors make and these are genuine.

There's nothing I got it but watch all these studies where they change the diet of these children. You can find them. They were like we can't control them. We'll get rid of the nuggets the chicken nuggets get rid of the food coloring get rid of the aspartame get rid of the partially hydrogenated oils get rid of the chemicals get rid of the BH T's get rid of the MSG monosodium glutamate.
