Everything kills you.
We, as a race, have screwed up. We have spit in the face of nature. Everything we eat is laden with chemicals, the air we breathe is coupled with toxins, the cars we drive are turning our planet into a colossal swimming pool. Smoking kills, but even if you don't smoke you'll die just the same from breathing it. Our meat is pumped with hormones, our processed food the equivalent of a fifth grade chemistry set. Who are we kidding? None of us are healthy. We're all going to perish from the years and years of abuse we have laid unfairly upon the innocent earth which has bore us life; and when earth gives us a natural disaster we plead with God, asking him why it happened, but we forget that we are animals just the same and no better than the trees and squirrels who met the demise we are trying to avoid. We've taken to believing that we're too good for disease, that we can pick out the gender of our children, that germs and gravity somehow might not apply to us. But they do, and when they do there's no amount of college educated doctors who are going to stop it. I don't know why I am writing this. Maybe it's because yesterday someone told me that soymilk is bad for you, after I have been drinking it everyday in place of regular milk, thus adding a new item to the list of things which cause cancer/are unhealthy for consumption. It angers me to only see on TV how filthy and unsafe our world is, yet there's nothing that can be done about it. Kraft won't stop making their chemical ridden macaroni and cheese, farmers won't stop putting growth hormones into their livestock, people won't stop driving cars, so what's the point? We've tainted the earth that has been given to us, and no matter what religion you are, or if you are even religious at all, you have to admit that we messed up bigtime. I am going to the gym.
