I don't understand

I don't understand us to be honest most of us like/tend to do the bad things that could get us dead or sick like drinking smoking and stuff and hate the good healthy things like some vegetables and fruits the only time we start doing/taking the good healthy things when our health/ourselves needs it -.-❤

Do you know why vegetables are good for you? Because you don't have enough of it in this kind of society.

Do you know why alcohol and sweets are bad for you? Because you have too much of it in this kind of society.

Do you know why we think that some things are good and some things are bad? Because we have too much of something, and start thinking it's bad for us.

Do you know what would happen if we had vegetables in the same amounts as we take alcohol and sweets, etc? Our society would start believing vegetables were bad for you.

... Do you see a pattern?

Even chemicals classified as poison, if taken in a small enough dose, isn't bad for you.

@Shironeko:
Not true mate.
Real doctors acknowledge that drinking wine is healthy for you in moderate amounts.
Smoking will not hurt you in small doses, therefore, why is it bad? Sure it's not good for you, but it's not bad. It's when you start smoking it enough to have an effect on your body that it turns into bad.

You'll understand what i mean if you study some chemistry in the future.

@MartinTheFirst: humans can't stop tho and they will start depending on it for the rest of their life like a person who just smoke a lil but with time he won't be able to stop and will be addicted to it and will start to smoke a lot and that's bad for him and there is these kind of people who don't drink a lot not bad for them right ? but some people drink when they are mad or just want to forget things and stuff they will depend on it for the rest of their life ?

@Shironeko:
Indeed, some humans can not keep it to a moderate amount as they easily become addicted.
Therefore for some, it'd be better to stay away from it.
There are people who drink in moderation for the rest of their lives, and there are people who let themselves become alcoholics because of, as you said, anger and depression.
So if you ever try drinking (which I'm sure you will when you become older), and if you feel like you're not handling it very well, then consider to stop before you're making it a habit. :)

Smoking is pointless however. The amount of smoke you can inhale without it harming you is incredibly small.
One cigarette worth of smoke would surpass the amount that would be deemed okay, by far.

Alcohol has it's own amount before it becomes bad for you, and it's different for everyone.
You have to count on your body-mass to know how much you can drink.
However it's pretty safe to assume that one or two beers, or a glass of wine, would not have a bad effect on your body when you're an adult.
Also, you'll physically feel it if you've drunk too much.
You will notice worsened control over your body, such as not being able to walk in a straight line, or feeling dizzy, and that is a solid indication that you've drunk too much.

Alcohol can make your life better, or it can destroy it. However it's up to you how you use it and what outcome it will be.
