Don't preach to me why you think they're bad now, preach to me why they haven't killed most of us yet.

Lunch meat,
Pizza,
White bread,
White rice,
Soda,
Microwave popcorn,
Can soup,
Breakfast Cereal,
Fruit in a Can,
Coffee creamer.
I play the odds. People who do everything right sometimes die too young. People who do everything wrong sometimes outlive us.

I had an uncle who smoked a pack a day his whole life and lived into his 90's. I had an aunt who was obese her entire life and lived into her 90's. But I would be stupid to follow their example.

I eat healthy most of the time. I exercise daily most of the time. I maintain a healthy weight all of the time. Will it work? Who knows, but I'm going with the odds.
