Have you ever skipped a meal? How about two? If you have, you know that you’re starving by end of it. All of sudden, things that you never would have touched before look good. We throw all caution aside and eat whatever we can find.
You loss discernment. Everything tastes good. How can you tell what’s really good and what’s so-so? They all taste the same. As Nick told Katie in the movie No Reservations: “A good critical chief has a full stomach.”
What do you think happens when we spiritual starve ourselves? What happens? Soon, we become spiritual hunger and will eat anything, even if it isn’t good for us. Things that you never thought about touching look delicious. We lose our spiritual discernment. Everything tastes so good.
This is a dangerous place to be in.
The Bible is called our bread and living water. When’s the last time you’ve eaten?

Thanks! I didn't remember Nick's quote in No Reservations but it is a good one.
