Perhaps we could save people the trouble of going to college to study nutrition etc. and stop all future health studies. We don't need no stinking college degrees and we don't need no stinking health/diet books. All we need is the following statement: "Steer your own boat!"

What about the hundreds of thousands of people who die from diabetes and heart disease every year. Were they not, for the most part, steering their own boat?
Perhaps you would be happier with me if I rephrase my choice of words in this way, as this is a true belief of mine: We each have the responsibility as adults to 'steer our own boat' .. and have the freedom to choose the direction we go. Others don't have to agree with our personal direction. They may think we are way off course. Oh well.
We are responsible for our decisions.
We are each responsible for the care of our bodies, including what we put in them.
You may hold as your truth that a vegetarian or vegan diet is the optimum for health and integrity of being a human being. I don't mind if you do.
Does that help?
If not, just skip over any future posts I may make or block me out. Then my squeeky noises won't irritate you.
