It may be this way in a lot of areas in the country but it is one thing that we here in Utah county deal with a lot. Children grow up being well educated on the bad effects of alcohol and tobacco, and sometime, that is all they are discourage to partake. While they at times (like in this scenario) are encouraged to eat "junk food"
I am as guilty as the next person of eating a donut or hotdog from time to time... I just thought it ironic that on the same announcement stating health lifestyle choices, we then see the list of refreshments. While tobacco and alcohol are serious toxins to the body, do not underestimate the damaging effects of junk-food. Do not avoid smoking to prevent lung cancer, just to die from diabetes from not avoiding junk-food... avoid them both as much as possible!
Amen. If I had to stack red wine against 128 ounces of Mountain Dew, my guess is the wine would probably be better for you in the long run. I agree that alcohol and tobacco are toxic, but High Fructose Corn Syrup and caffeine by the gram are right up there.
ReplyDeleteThis is really something.. Did you know that in Michigan,I know some people who actually increased how much they smoked just to lose weight. Why eat when you can smoke right? It is funny how some of us were raised. Unhealthy people make unhealthy decisions!
