Choosing the Outcomes We Desire ... Continuum of Health and Vitality

[Guest guest]

Yes, Janet, I agree and have said so many times. We all possess a certain

potential, and we possess the capacity to choose the outcomes we desire.

Then, we may choose whatever course of action seems to support our achieving

those outcomes.

 

For example, whenever we suggest to people that they eat whole foods, we are

never saying it is wrong to do otherwise. We are only saying that, over

time, we are all likely to achieve better results, in terms of health and

vitality, by eating whole foods than by eating otherwise. But people may

value some things, such as pleasure/gratification now, socializing in a

certain way or with certain people, " convenience " , and the like equally with

or more than the value health and vitality. That is just choice-making,

nothing more or less.

 

Pretty straightforward, to me!

 

Best,

Elchanan

 

PS I changed the subject line, as the old one seems obsolete in the

conversation.

I think it's important to understand that there is a continuum of health and

optimal choices. For instance, I know that eating a whole food in it's

natural form is better than eating it processed (smoothie), or further

processed (juiced). This does not mean that benefits cannot be reaped from

the food in those processed states. Quite the contrary.
