A note on how the rest of the country lives

mad-thoughts:

So hate me. Hate me and my lifestyle. Hate all the horrible things I’m doing to the world simply by being me.

 That’s totally the wrong attitude to have. These bad habits aren’t inherent in your DNA. Bad food is not “you,” it’s just something you’ve been tricked into eating. And this false dichotomy of “you” vs. “them” shouldn’t lead you to continue unhealthy and destructive habits as some sort of revenge against uppity city slickers. Change as much as you can, as often as you can, and do it for yourself and your environment.

I want to repeat that again, because I think a lot of people make bad choices because they think they’re “getting back” at someone or that if they make bad choices they’ll make a “liberal” mad and that will be a victory. The person who will benefit most or suffer most from your choices will always be you.
