Fasting Wrong

 

This headline in my newsfeed caught my eye:
“Fasting from meat for Lent? Check out these seafood restaurants.”

 

Jesus said,

Matthew 6:17-18 (ESV)
 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Head out for seafood. No one will know you’re fasting.
I don’t think this is the “in secret” Jesus had in mind.
