Almost everything good can be abused, but that doesn’t make the original good any less good, and if it’s fun, it may well be joy in the Lord and in Creation, not sin. When we deny our legitimate pleasures we are denying the Incarnation, for Jesus came to affirm, not to deny. He enjoyed eating with his friends, and shared food is always sacramental for me. Even good food can be abused, and over-eating can cause all kinds of problems, but that does not mean that all eating is therefore wrong. The confusion of excess with moderation must please Satan enormously.
