1. New converts from Western Christianity tend to bring with them some very rigid, legalistic Western attitudes, and apply them to fasting. With time and experience and spiritual guidance, they get over it.
2. Ironically, I get the makings of many of my better lenten meals from my local H Mart (a big international Korean grocery, etc., chain). I only eat kimchee during Lent!
3. Kindness and respect for others always trump fasting.
4. And most important - how anyone else fasts is none of our business.
