Isn't it moronic

So one of the things that is most troubling to me is the people who are walking, living paradoxes. I use to call them hypocrites or bigots but now have come to the realization that they are just epitomes of irony. Here is where I digress… It’s no secret that we eat cleanly. We both take pride in our nutrition and honestly just enjoy the overall feeling that comes with eating healthy. It really has become quite the irritant when people start preaching the latest fad diet to me or try and school me on the benefits of all things organic, even the JUNK FOOD. The flip side to that (I will get to that in a minute) is that usually said people have no idea WHY they are eating what they are eating. This is just FUN. I love to question and have come to enjoy when they can’t answer me. Anyway back to the beginning statement before I warned of impending digression. I was once over at an acquaintances’ house. She was on a no preservatives kick. She went on and on about why homemade certain dishes were a MUST in her house bc of the dangers of preservatives. And on and on…. zzzzzz. Open refrigerator door. I SWEAR people after this long and windy blah blah rant on preservatives she pulled out a PRE-packaged tub of Hillshire Farms (non organic) Oven Roasted Turkey slices. I almost fell out. I have never had such a difficult time controlling myself. I thought maybe it was a joke. Seriously home girl had to be joking, right? Nope it was my friend IRONY flaunting her cruel ass in my face. It was in that moment that all the little, I only feed my kids this, or my kid only eats that, sermons came flashing in front of me. It was followed by glimpses of subtle contradicting actions. I walked away from said meeting realizing me and chica would probably not be hanging out again. Why oh why do people not educate themselves when standing on a soap box? Hell even a little. You should know WHY you do things a certain why and make sure if you are being all, well in my house, you understand the concept of follow through. Diets, like most things in life, are a personal thing. What works for me may or may not work for you. No biggie. I won’t preach to you but please don’t find this as an open invitation to preach to me, especially when you don’t have a clue as to what you are talking about.
