The importance of being earnest

Well? Truth time, are you? The fact is that no amount of burying your head in the sand is going to make it go away. Every time you're putting something bad into your body you're reducing your quality of life and maybe even the length of your life. It comes down to priorities. Is that momentary high you're getting from your food choices worth sacrificing literally everything else? I don't want to depress you, but impress upon you the importance of your food choices.

I like to think of it this way. Say doing something unhealthy is a -1 and doing something good for you is a +1. Easy enough. Let's look a little closer.

Let's say you do something unhealthy for yourself instead of something healthy, it would look like this:

-1 - (+1) = -2

You double the effect every time you do something unhealthy for yourself because you also at the same take away something healthy for you.

Let's say you do something healthy for yourself instead of something unhealthy:

+1 - (-1) = +2

You've doubled the effect of doing something good for yourself and simultaneously taking away something bad you would have done instead.

It's simple math and it adds up. What do you want your life to equal?
