I'm just saying, whether or not it's logical, people choose unhealthy behaviours. Chips are bad for you, but in moderation probably don't cause any lasting harm; fast food is bad for you but a meal a year, twice a year, once a month? Probably not going to be the cause of your untimely demise. Cigarettes are probably the worst of the three, and yet, if I smoke one cigar in the summer with my dad, probably not so destructive. Moderation can make dangerous behaviours safe. Lack of moderation because dangerous behaviours are enjoyable can outweigh the 'logical' choice of not indulging them frequently. In addition there are factors like addiction, genetics, etc. It's a question with innumerable variables, the fact that people choose something unhealthy - sometimes to incredible excess - does not surprise me nor even strike me as illogical. I sympathise, as I go to pour myself a scotch I know will only be the first tonight.[DOUBLEPOST=1395365655,1395365484][/DOUBLEPOST]
Oh, for myself? I have a pretty healthy diet. I'm not health-conscious, per se, but I love to cook, and so does my girlfriend, so most of my eating is pretty good homecooked meals. Not to say we don't indulge in pizza or pub food now and again. I very seldom eat fast-food, as I prefer to eat my own, and it's expensive to eat it regularly, but I do really love a Wendy's burger. Probably have one two or three times a year, and it's always amazing.
