Do you feel guilty eating certain foods ?

@msros Those who live long seem to be the rebels that will eat and drink anything, while health nuts drop dead at 40.

@NativePortlander1970 I wouldn't exactly say that, but death is random to a large degree. Health issues strike people with unhealthy lifestyles more often, but can strike anyone. Furthermore many of them may not cause death, but other struggles, such as overweight people suffering from knee problems. Add that we can all die in an accident, and the difference doesn't seem as big as so called "health nuts" might wish. Still, being healthy at least sets you up for success; think of it as the foundation for a long life. Health is to long life, what a sketch is to a finished painting.

@Fable You can be the healthiest person in the world and BAM, an infection affects a heart valve or two, the next thing you know you have insanely high blood pressure that the docs put you on meds instead of corrective, then BAM, two bouts of blood clots in your lungs permanently sideline you and put you on 24/7 assisted oxygen and anticoagulants for the rest of your life, your weight balloons because you can no longer power walk 50 miles a week or power cycle 100 miles a week, walking across your small apartment you get tired and fatigued, or you get bitten by a small little insect and suddenly you're bedridden for life, in constant nerve wracking pain that even morphine barely touches. Stop assuming that doing healthy things is going to keep you healthy. No one is immune to disease.
