    I also eat cake, red meat, smoked meat, vegetables high in oxalates, various fried foods, and occasionally drink alcohol. Life should not be about eliminating every risky behavior, it should be about fulfillment and weighing risk against probability and payoff. We all die eventually and I want to eat tasty food before I get there.

      I recently saw an infographic that showed the risk of death for getting out of bed at 90 years old is the same as the risk of hang gliding. To me, this means you should take up hang gliding when you’re 90.

      More seriously, you should take risks to have a full and rewarding life. Those risks can be mitigated. I’ve ridden motorcycles, but I also wear a helmet and safety gear while doing it.

      False dichotomy. I can eat all kinds of delicious foods, even having my health and eating my cake, and the best part is I don’t have to perform any mental gymnastics to ignore any guilt or shame about the suffering my diet causes. There’s something poetic about the best possible things for me, being the best possible things for all other beings out there. In reality, you just don’t know what you’re missing.
