Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I feel that smoking causes lung cancer, emphysema and myriad respiratory problems. I have concluded that smokers are so irrational and inconsiderate of my health that I have no desire to know or relate to one, for any reason. I stay out of smoky bars, restaurants and workplaces. I'm convinced that this approach is the correct one, and may also apply to drinkers, drug addicts, sugar frieks and fat junkies. . . which is practically everybody in my town!! As a raw foodist, I feel very alienated from advocates of the Western diet and sedentary lifestyle. I'm also beginning to form the conclusion that the subculture where I live is mentally, physically and spiritually SICK!!!!! Or maybe the whole society! Anybody else have these feelings?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Ron, Don't focus so much on all that negativity! There are some health minded people in Ft Worth, I'm sure. You just don't know them yet. It doesn't matter what everyone is else is doing, it only matters that you make the improvements that you feel are important for your health. It's always a little hard to be different, but you have to do it for you and not worry so much about what everyone else is doing. Yes, its sad the way some people treat thier bodies, but the way I see it is that everyone is at a different place on their evolutionary path and it's not my place to judge them. Try to be positive about what you are doing and maybe you can be a positive influence on people to improve their habits.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks, Audrey, for the simple truth. My criticizing others doesn't help anything or anybody. That seems to be a bad habit I picked up in a dysfunctional family and I haven't outgrown it yet. I vow to begin channeling some of that negativity into self- improvement; starting with my food program, my job, my associates and my career.
