When I first moved to the Villages my neighbors said the same thing to me when I told them I didn't take any medications. They said, "wait 'til you get older." I was only about 60 or 61. That was so frustrating because I knew I was doing the right thing, diet wise. Today I'm 71 and still don't need medication. But can I tell them I was right? No, they have all passed away.

Your diet isn't the total answer to good health, no matter how much YOU believe it is.

It may not be the total answer for various reasons. Most people won't do it
so how can it be the total answer, or even a partial answer?

There is NO shame in taking medicine to maintain your health.

If you have to because you reject dietary measures, well, then I guess you have to take medication.

It goes without saying that just about every person I have ever met knows that an optimum weight and a healthy exercise regimen is important to maintaining good health together with a varied low fat diet containing a lot of fruits and vegetables and small portions of meat/protein.

I guess you are speaking for everyone because you have presumably met a lot of people. And if they all knew what was best, most likely everyone else does too. And that's how you know what's best. Right?
