Everything will kill you

A friend just posted a warning about artificial sweeteners on her FB. Apparently they will give you diabetes and all sorts of nasty diseases.

Sugar kills, too, btw.

Salt - that will kill you.

Meat - we don't need to say any more about that unless you need me to post a bunch of PETA links.

Carbs kill you, and so do low carb diets.

Caffeine kills you when it isn't making you live longer.

Same with alcohol, red wine in particular.

Eggs are the perfect food, unless you die of heart disease brought on by cholesterol.

Dairy will kill you, and osteoporosis will make you a cripple. So there's a decision to be made: death or crippled?

Remember in the Jetson's, where they just ate nutrient pills? We should do that so we don't die.

Oh yeah - pesticides! They kill you. And so does organic food that hasn't been treated for buggies.

And here I am being grumpy because I quit smoking. Looks like I have to give up a bunch of other things too.

Yes!! I have a relative that talks about his healthy eating style and all of this stuff. One week he was using this stuff because "that's bad". The next week, the stuff he's using turned out to be bad so he stopped using that too and went to something else. So what's to say the next thing he tried isn't bad in some other way?

We should all eat big bowls of lettuce and be done with it. Oh crap, pesticides. And the organic non-pesticide version has killer bugs.
