Reply #17: How do conscious choices=high horse? [View All]

[Treclo]

I know there are too many people who don't have the luxury of worrying about much of anything except survival. I am lucky enough to have access to a computer and a library, the abilty to read, and the time to educate myself. So if I educate myself and strive toward the least toxic, (and still enjoyable) way to live, why would that make me a snob, as a few of you seem to suggest?

I realize any of us could get hit by a truck tomorrow, but I'm for stacking the odds in my favor. I still love junk food, but I cut back on it. I visit the farmers market and buy as much organic as my budget allows. And I finally quit smoking, which took 5 years and was a real bitch to give up- but hey, I have enough other vices, I figured it was time.

I'm all for each of us making our own choices and living our life however we see fit. And as I said, I'm lucky enough to have the energy to pursue what I see as stacking the odds in my favor.
