Don't Eat What I Ate! ( yet another rant)

United States
August 18, 2011 9:51pm CST
This was the mantra A guy just got tattooed on arm to remember to eat right not like his dad did. He died of an heart attack in his sleep. When I heard this I thought it was a few words too long. It Should be Don't Eat! This is what I hear when Anyone says eat healthy or die. I say Kill me now . Get the I.V.s because if I can't eat pizza and the occasional burger , I won't eat. I rather die Now. That is why I know when I see a doctor it will Only be on my death bed. Why see him before I'm ready to die? So here I sit thinking if a doctor Did say , you have to give up pizza so you can live I would say ok. walk out not pay his bill, go have a Uno's pizza , come home and put my head in the oven and get it over with! thanks for listening . I feel so much better!

Have your pizza and burgers sweetie. We only live once and we choose how to live it. Don't let others get you down. Now smile and go and get us some pizza.

I can't believe someone would get a tattoo reminding them to eat right, Just a second while I stop laughing. (wiping the tears of laughter away) Okay, I am fine now. Look, if you're healthy otherwise, whats the difference what you eat. I am sure to do not binge. I wish I could just go out and get a pizza. Although I do cheat once in a while and get me one of those awesome brick oven pizza's here in Brooklyn. You can't get Pizza nowhere like here. I agree, I am not a doctor going person either, but I do have to go to get my sugar checked and for my eyes. Oh well, what can I do. I pretty much do what I want and no one can tell me any different.

I am fine. I got to the point where I can joke about it. Like I said, I do cheat once in a while, so I get my chance to eat some favorite foods.

Do we know exactly what the father ate? If he just ate what people tend to eat that's one thing, and you're absolutely right, but if the guy ate 6 big macs a day, or something extreme, then I can see why he'd council his son not to eat what he ate.

That's the sad part, his dad didn't say this phrase. He added it because I needed to motivate him to eat healthy.

Im right there with you!!! What is the point of living if you cant enjoy it?? I love fruits and vegetables. But I also love cheesesteaks and fries. YUM!! We were just talking about that at work today. One of my coworkers is going out to get cheesesteaks tomorrow. That would definitely make me die happy!!

Sorry, but I think that line isn't too relevant enough to be tattooed on one skin, for me at least. What if he changes his mind? And like you said, realizes that there is only one life to live, and shouldn't be cramped by 'health' reasons?!

Don't hear what other people say about the kind of food you should eat. Eat what you like without thinking what others opine. Each one has the freedom to decide what to eat. But one can't avoid advice and opinions of other people, although one didn't ask for them.

By the way how does the Uno's pizza taste? It's better than the Domino's?

I think it should have said, "Don't eat fruit bats!" I just saw on TV how an islander fixes the fruit bat (whole) and it is considered a delicacy to people who normally eat fish.

Well glad we could all listen...but if we listened to what they say is good or not good for us it would be a very unhappy life....but remember when they said that bacon would cause cancer....later you find out that you would have to eat about 3 tons of it a year!!!!! Yup...just hype!
