Eating healthy

Why the fuck is eating healthy and being active considered so strange and outlandish to some people? When I started counting my calories and watching what I eat, people in my life told me "oh, you're young you shouldn't have to count your calories." When I decline a slice of pizza after the game and explain I'm trying to eat more healthy, a couple of my teammates almost guilt me into eating it. "Come onnn, what's one slice?" Today, when I request my family to have a basic healthy dinner of chicken, rice, and broccoli, I'm met with chuckles and "tssk tssk," like I'm a fucking idiot for knowing exactly what I want to eat to adequately fuel my body for the gym.

It's fucking childish to expect people to "comply" with the norm of eating like shit and letting your body become obese or skinnyfat. It's like being on the pre-school playground and a group of kids mock you for not buying the latest cell phone or whatever the fuck. Non-compliance is the easiest fucking way to be ostracized. Sounds a lot like today and vaccines, doesn't it? Disagree with taking the shot? Concern about body autonomy? Distrust the government and/or big corporations? Boom, the government and your job cuts you off from life. That's another fucking rant for another day.

Just as long as you stay in line and not go against the grain in any way, expect to fit in nicely with your friends and family.
