Are you a health nut? (Mickey Z.)

Mickey Z. -- World News Trust

Jan. 2, 2007 -- January is resolution season. Holiday shopping frenzies subside and unwanted relatives return home as millions of Americans vow to find a better job, learn to speak a foreign language, save money, read more, watch TV less, and, of course, get themselves in shape. But watch out: Too much chatter about taking responsibility for one's own mental and physical fitness just might get you labeled a "health nut."

You see, human beings can eat junk food till their arteries scream for mercy without ever running the risk of being called a "disease nut." However, frequent use of words like "organic," "natural," or "vegetarian" will send up a red flag.

Feel free to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day; no one will call you a fanatic or zealot. But be wary of how much time you spend at the gym or yoga class or running track. That kind of behavior is reserved for obsessed people.

Sit on the couch all night. Make no effort to avoid hydrogenated oils. Consume those sugary desserts. You'll fit right in. Joining a food co-op or slapping a filter on your faucet could get you added to a no-fly list.

2. A "disease nut."

:rofl:

My sis & her husband are extremely overweight. So are their dogs. They all need exercise & to modify their diets. She complains about being sick all the time. They both get colds all the time -- even in the summer. Yet she thinks we are obsessive about exercise & diet. "I could never be as obsessive about exercise as you are." Honey, you are not obsessive about it at all!!
