The way to change anyone's mind about your philosophy or your religion or your regemin is to live well, and to act in such a way that folks enjoy being with you and to be so happy that others see a reason to emulate your ways.
I heard a sermon once about Christianity that really struck my heart. The priest said;
"We are called to preach the Gospel, even if we have to use words."
Continuing to repeat and repeat, to harp on the same subject again and again is not teaching. It is parenting.
I very much appreciate those things I have learned from Jimbo and VillagesPl. and have changed my diet in a couple of ways due to the research that they have linked me to from medical teaching institutions that I trust. I am eating less beef and more chicken and fish.
I should maybe rethink my drinking habits. I don't come anywhere close to the case of beer my father drank daily before he died at 94.
