For once, I agree.
As my RCIA instructor told us recently, "As a Catholic, you are really only required to believe two things: Jesus is the Son of God, and the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ. The rest falls to your own moral conscience. Free will, y'know."
I'm sure the more orthodox would disagree.
Back on topic however, I could go for some pancakes right about now.

If one was to follow Christianity by what is scriptural and by words of Christ and not the pope, or the clergy or any other religious dogmas you could say that Christianity allows you the freedom to eat and drink as you please to the glory of God.
Unfortunately religion often gets in the way of Christianity.
