I made a decision early in life to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including my eating habits. Seeing family members who were obese and unhealthy was the major contributing factor-several of them died young, and all of them who don't follow reasonable eating guidelines are unhealthy (diabetes, heart issues, high blood pressure, mental health issues, etc.).
It disgusts me when people who should know better brag about things like cramming down a mess of unhealthy faux food. Those same people have a myriad of health issues, and seem to parade their health issues around like a bizarre badge of honor, all the time wondering how they became so unhealthy.
To top it off, those of us who do maintain a healthy lifestyle end up paying for those who don't through higher insurance rates and increased medical costs for health issues that, in most cases, are completely avoidable.
Read a few of the original posters threads and it's clear he's not at all healthy (smoker, eating habits, tinnitus, etc.). Yet he posts here about shoveling a mass of unhealthy food into his mouth, to the point that he's almost physically ill, and then can't understand why he has so many physical maladies and, in his tinnitus thread, suicidal thoughts and mental problems.
