Cereal Grains -- more calories, less filling
Cereal grains, historically, were cultivated in order that limited agriculture areas might supply food to support population densities not otherwise possible. They are concentrated forms of food, readily assimilated by the body, containing small residue of bulk, and so may be eaten in quantities far in excess of the calorie needs without sensation of fulness. All carbohydrate foods and most drinks fall into this category, either by virtue of their origin or the reaction of the body to them. Milk is actually a liquid infantile food, the use of which man has carried over into his adult life and which, in general, satisfies the definition of concentrated carbohydrate.

Kevin Wallace -- Fresh Oil
An oil-less church is in trouble.
A church that has no oil in the Spirit is in trouble.
You can have gadgets;
You can have smoke;
You can have lights;
You can have a massive LED screen;
But at the end of the day,
None of that will bring breakthrough;
None of that will bring deliverance;
None of that will bring healing.
Relevance to a blind man is NOT
How cool is your light show?
Relevance to a blind man is
Do you know a man that can make me see?
Relevance to a broken family is NOT
How cool is your church?
Relevance to a broken family is
Can you take me to a man that can heal our wounds and bind us up?
I want the oil!
