It probably would even be that big of a problem unless the habit out out of hand or it did turn into a "nagging every 5 minutes" thing. Just both sides have to understand where the other person is coming from

Oh and here's more:

That's why she lists her sources right on the home page as well?

Holy crap dude . . . first of all 'more' is not a good term here. Are you listing them numerically (ie there's a higher quantity of 'bad' than 'good')?

Do you have some sort of system to calculate 'total health'?

Can you definitively tell me that any, say, heart effects are more than offset by additional adipose tissue and the potential for slight autoimmune suppression?

Have you ever taken an econ class? Can you tell me the personal utility one might gain from alcohol consumption doesn't outweigh the factors you're considering negative?

Quantifying 'good' vs. 'bad' here is pretty much retarded.

Also, why so much hate for these things? Do you drive a car, or eat red meat? Everything is bad for you, dude - pick your battles, but realize they're YOUR battles.



Dani actually addressed this point . . . citation != credibility automatically.

I don't have "hate" for anything I just don't support self destructive behavior and just want to see where other's stand on the issue. And sure I do those things, but eating red meat and driving a car has a significant purpose and won't cause me to make a complete ass out of myself by doing too much.
