Ya know that's somewhat of an elitist idea. Uh? How do you make the connection between facts: (i.e. eat bad food that is prone to make you fat, OR put poison in your lungs --which will in all probability-- lead you to have cancer) both well backed up by scientific research... AND "An elitist idea"... only you know... If in spite of such evidence, you STILL chose to eat such food and smoke/chew tobacco... well... I think that's dumb... LOL! It has NOTHING whatsoever to do with "elitism" [more to do with common sense.] If one chooses sweet tooth and or addiction over health it duz not make dumb. It only spells different priorities.... Oh but it does.... It may be your choice, and you are free to make such choice. But is that a "smart choice”? I don't think so. It may spell different "priorities" but STILL, they are DUMB priorities... I mean... do I want to eat crap so I get fat and unhealthy? Or smoke so I can die faster or get all kinds of respiratory ailments? I don't care how your "priorities" dictate your life style, I am not... btw... dictating you the lifestyle you ought to have... hey... you are FREE to CHOOSE... such lifestyle... I am not for regulating much, let alone regulating lifestyles.... Still.... they are DUMB choices -lol It may be politically INCORRECT to say so... but that does not stop me from expressing what I think about the above choices being smart or not.... And again... it has nothing to do with elitism.... you may be a PhD or similar.... but if you smoke and eat junk food... as far as those choices... they are dumb ones. --in spite of your PhD.. -ggg You could also "chose" to jump off a building... -LOLOLOL
