The same Paul who wrote that we are to submit to authority goes to jail for subverting authority. I suggest that there are two ways to respectfully submit to authority: (1) obeying the good laws and (2) disobeying the bad laws openly and being willing to suffer the consequences, thereby exposing injustice and making a spectacle of it.

The Irresistible Revolution

Shane Claiborne

Here’s the chain of events: 1.  You think about eating a meal containing carbohydrates. 2. You begin secreting insulin. 3. The insulin signals the fat cells to shut down the release of fatty acids (by inhibiting HSL) and take up more fatty acids (via LPL) from the circulation. 4. You start to get hungry, or hungrier. 5. You begin eating. 6. You secrete more insulin. 7. The carbohydrates are digested and enter the circulation as glucose, causing blood sugar levels to rise. 8. You secrete still more insulin. 9. Fat from the diet is stored as triglycerides in the fat cells, as are some of the carbohydrates that are converted into fat in the liver. 10.  The fat cells get fatter, and so do you. 11.  The fat stays in the fat cells until the insulin level drops.
