I always understood it as Jonathan Edwards did. Food is only for the purpose of being fuel to work for God. We see this throughout his resolutions. Many other reformed thinkers take this view. But does Jesus eating food resurrected disprove this view? Jesus obviously didn't need food for fuel, but his eating was to the glory of God (so sinners might believe on Him). What does eating to the glory of God therefore mean?
