“When [Macarius] grew up his father forced him to get married against his will, so he pretended that he was sick for several days. Then he asked his father if he might go to the wilderness to relax and that may make him recover from his illness speedily. He went to the wilderness and prayed to the Lord Christ to direct him to do what is pleasing to Him. … When he returned from the wilderness he found that his wife, who was still virgin, had died, and Macarius thanked the Lord Christ.”
– Synaxarium 27th of Baramhat

“Fava beans are high in L-Dopa…Some also use fava beans as a natural alternative to drugs like Viagra, citing a link between L-dopa production and the human libido.”
Explains quite a bit about large family sizes among Egyptians. Also apparently by fasting we are actually increasing the lustful temptations and not decreasing them. So for the sake of our purity and spiritual well being we should lobby the Synod to ban fasts. Do we not pray in the “Our Father” lead us not into temptation; but thats what we do everytime we have foul mamdames, tamiya, bisara, nabet and the 100s of other fava bean products we during the fast. Each plate is a plate of lust.
Say no to temptation, say no to fasting.
