Re: Delightful reading
You say people should eat what makes them happy - I'm not so sure it's a matter of happiness - more connection to food one is used to, and difficult to change habits, especially one so tied up with family, love, being dependent as a child, etc etc - also lots of other associations like birthdays, holidays.
So maybe people are "happy" being in a habit - because it's easy. mb is NOT easy, it asks one to think, to be conscious of what one is doing, not just to do things automatically. Also even changing your taste buds does take time. But as you realize, people don't necessarily want to be told what to do, or that what they are doing is bad for them - they have to be ready for it and want it, or at least curious about it. But you're right again, no use wasting energy trying to convince others. But eating is such a social thing, and it does get difficult, that's why it's so wonderful to find other like minded people. But more strength to you if you can do it on your own!!!
