- tomjakubowski 5y agoI'd never heard that Puritans had any obsession with body health. What is the connection?
- panzagl 5y agoMostly as a connection between sin and disease- physical sickness was seen as a reflection of spiritual sickness.
- angrais 5y agoI'm not sure if you're serious with both your arguments here: Americans obsess with their health? They have one of the highest rates of obesity globally ... Likewise, how does this have anything to do with religion (Puritanical heritage)?
