So, I don’t know about you – but I usually get about 10-15 random emails daily full of news headlines/random tips/weight loss tips/health news.. etc. etc. etc.
I don’t know how I got signed up for all this crap – but it fills my inbox nonetheless.
This morning, when I woke up and checked my email from bed (because of course, I am so important that I need to check my inbox upon waking. Duh.) I received this email with the following headlines:
- Quinoa’s Dark Secret
- If you believe in Science, don’t go Paleo.
- Does Taco Bell hate vegetables?
- Sorry, Your salad will make you sick – and that chicken might kill you
- There’s flame retardant in my Gatorade?!
Wow. Doesn’t that just make me want to go out into the world and live my life to the fullest. Minus the quinoa, Paleo diet (which by the way… Runner’s World continually sends me a “Paleo Diet for Athletes!” email) Taco Bell, salad and chicken AND Gatorade.
Woo. Hoo.
So. Being the snarky snarker that I am – I decided to write my own headlines.
- Paying too much attention to a healthy diet? Unhealthy.
- Life without chocolate? Who wants it.
- Sleeping more, and running less may make you live longer.
- You work too hard. Take a break.
- Sometimes Taco Bell is just the right choice.
- If aspartame is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
- Paleo Schmaleo. Eat those grains.
- Popcorn makes you live longer.
Don’t get me wrong, I love healthy living… but I don’t care about the “dark side of quinoa”. I think it’s fine if you want to drink a Gatorade. (I think a Diet Coke once in awhile is pretty dang good. I like my aspartame to be dark and carbonated.)
Sometimes, you’ve just got to live. And enjoy.
I’ve wasted way too many days caring about calorie counts, chemical counts, macro nutrients and the like.
As my mom says – life is for the living.
Amen? Amen.

I would simply add that Jesus wants us to eat bacon. Acts says so. And so do I. And for the record, I loved bacon before loving bacon was cool.
haha. I love this comment.
Amen sista! There is no part of me that will ever give up a whole food group, chocolate or taco bell. Life is too short to not enjoy every moment.
Amen! Everything in moderation. (except on weekends, that’s when you can go hog wild)
Adore.This. Post. I am so tickled that I found your site.
Thank you! I am tickled that you found it as well!
oh my gosh, i about threw my phone across the room with crappy headlines in my inbox. haha.
Mine would say WINE CURES ALL!
haha I love your headline! Ps- Come to Calgary and hang out with Bonnie and I!! I promise wine if you bring healthy bites!
Popcorn should have it’s own food group. Taco Bell? Maybe not. Chipotle? Yes. (Great site!)
I have NEVER tried Chipotle. Can you believe it?! I don’t think we have it in Canada – and I know they don’t have it in Montana. I agree with the popcorn comment!!!
