i just don't tell most people, because i know even if i explain myself and how it's not going to kill me, but rather make me healthier, i know they're not gonna believe it unless they actually want to learn about it, rather than learn just enough to feel justified in criticising it.

it doesn't bother me, mostly because i know even people who look healthy these days probably are not healthy, so i'm comfortable in the knowledge that they don't know what they're talking about. it's shocking to me how many people go on medication these days as if it's nothing, at the drop of a hat, with no thought to how it could alter their body and how perhaps instead of treating their symptoms, they could treat the source of those symptoms, but that tends to be harder than popping pills.
