How Much Realism Is Too Real

The Health Question

We often ask ourselves, "why bother?". Why bother eating healthy if I'm going to hate every meal, constantly yearn for something more and only net myself an extra 2 - 5 years of life, if that.

Even though I still struggle with implementing the change, I can offer you two very good reasons for attempting to do so. The first is your children, those you have now or those you may someday have, especially the ones you may someday have. The second is that everything you've been told about eating healthy is a lie.
