Unfortunately, Jesus taught that it wasn't important. Of all the Jewish customs to object to.

When you witness the horror of legions of priesthood holders bearing down on the Chuck-A-Rama buffett after a priesthood session, gobbling up with total abandon the cheesy, fatty, sugary fare of that place, you know that God went on an extended vacation after the first WoW revelation.

I have seen it first hand. I estimate that if the "diners" there could have their excess fat liposuctioned out and it turned into ethanol, the U.S. military could easily run its Iraq war campaign for a full month or more.

I would figure colonoscopies would make the list. Hard to justify why it was not on the list.

Very simple. God knew all those fires would be the start of Global Warming way too early for Al Gore to invent the internet and warn us all of what is really important.

Still mocking the word of wisdom. The word of wisdom has saved many men and women the pain of alcoholism and drug addiction. Living a clean life never hurt anyone.

The word of wisdom is a sign of obedience.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.
Joseph Smith

We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…”

All of the major heroes of the LDS church were drinkers.

The LDS church addressed that problem, without addressing the personality issues which led to the abuse of alcohol.

If it is about obedience, then why is drinking beer a sin (which the WoW allows), but eating a triple cheeseburger is not?

Perhaps. And cost countless more the joys of living an abundant life.
