You're Kidding, Right?

You know those people who follow a strict diet or regimen and get preachy or like to brag about it? Well, that's fine and I respect a person for their principles. People have their reasons and beliefs that dictate their choices in diet and other consumables.

Where I find the irony, even hypocrisy sometimes, is when we have to endure a lecture about the virtues of all natural, GMO-free foods when the person doing the lecturing smokes marijuana. Or when we get preached at about how harmful sugar and processed foods are by a tobacco user. Or a militant vegan (who does so for "health reasons") that gets in our faces about the harm in consuming products made from animals, but has no problem eating candy and junk food. How about those who brag about how healthy they are and spend hours every day preparing healthy foods and meals and abstain from harmful substances, yet eschew exercise or any strenuous physical activity?

See, if you want to adhere to a health regimen, then by all means go for it! If you want to customize your routine by including indulgences that contradict a healthy lifestyle, then don't get preachy. Don't get in people's faces about their choices, when you are not fully living a healthy lifestyle. Don't make a fool out of yourself. If you want someone to take you seriously or be accepting of your indulgences or weaknesses, then you're going to have to accept the eating habits of others.
