Well, we don't like to be lectured at or condescended to. You come
off
as more than a little self-righteous, and it makes us defensive.

Screw it. I'm going to eat what I enjoy. If I get colon cancer from
the
occasional piece of bacon or seared steak, there's always the 9mm
retirement plan. Nobody leaves the planet alive, no matter how much
self-denial they practice at the table.

Here's the thing. If you die at age 50 rather than at age 90, you're
still
just as dead. Once it's done, you don't know the difference.
