My Toxic Relationship

There will come a time when people realize the inevitable is in fact inevitable. I am going to die, and there's very little I can do about it. This is why I am tired of hearing about toxins. There are toxins in everything we eat, everything we do, and short of getting a bubble and not eating anything, it's kind of a fact of life.

SO, here's the deal. I could spend the rest of my life eating nothing but sprouts and uncooked wheat in the vain and fruitless attempt to live forever, or, here's an idea, I can enjoy the life I am given. I like food. I always will, and no matter how many times you tell me red dye #4 is going to kill me, I'm still going to eat M&Ms. (disclaimer: I don't in fact know that M&Ms HAVE red dye #4). I'm going to drink the occasional diet cola because it makes me feel better than wasting my entire day's workout on one drink. I'm going to eat Burger King Poutine sometimes. I am also going to drive a car, spray paint without a mask (outside of course), and maybe even run in the grass even if I don't know if it's been chemically treated. I am going to buy tomatoes in the winter, from the grocery store, even though they don't taste the same. I'm going to use mosquito spray because hey, I'm not a fan of sitting inside all summer. All this because truthfully, I might die tomorrow anyway, and I might as well enjoy myself!

Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying "go nuts! life is short! eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we DIE!" (unless of course you really ARE dying tomorrow). I'm just an advocate of BALANCE. Don't fret so much about the toxins in your body, because I'm telling you, it will rot your soul. Smile, hug someone, and share your M&Ms.
