“I don’t eat anything with HFCS in it,” says the 800 calorie muffin eater.
“I watch my daily sodium intake,” says the trans fat eater.
“Oh, I’m trying to limit my caffeine,” says the person that just came back form lunch at McDonald’s.
“I never use artificial sweetener,” says the person who consumes 5 cans of regular coke a day.
Im so sick of this. The odds of dying because you ate HFCS? Next to nil. The odds of dying of a disease caused by a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet? As an American- pretty freakin’ likely.
Lets tackle the big, obvious stuff first, shall we? How about we try and get a little daily exercise, eat our fruits and veggies, and cut out the fast food before we start spouting off about the health “risks” of too little antioxidants or eating out of plastic containers.
The only people that need to worry about these tiny, minute things are those that eat practically perfect already. If thats you, cool, more power to you for trying to improve your diet. If it’s not, lets work on the unhealthiest behaviors first.
But wait, that sounds hard. I have to change the big portions of my eating habits, instead of focusing on tiny, insignificant aspects?
Priorities, folks.
And you’ll probably get hit by a bus tomorrow anyway.
