The people I do home care with have late stage effects of eating badly.  I get to see what happens to a diabetic body, especially one that is still being fed sugar.  I have been with people who have failing hearts after a life time of unhealthy eating and lack of exercise.
I see all of it and I am careful of what I eat. If I am tempted to do otherwise, I have plenty of images in my mind of what can happen to the body. Somehow cream  puffs lose their appeal when I am reminded of rotting toes.

I don't like to temp fate because I know what fate will do.

I am not tempted to smoke either. I have watched people die of lung cancer and emphysema.

I wish they would train people to eat better when they are in school. They would have a better chance at good health if they started sooner. The good habits might stick as well.
