No apologies are necessary. I know how it feels to care deeply about someone's
health, only to be blown off by them. I also know how misguided people's
efforts to help me be healthier can become, especially if they neither know nor
care about my life priorities. Some people put health above everything else;
others put all their efforts into the love of money or religious devotion. I
choose to balance what I know is good for me with what I enjoy. In the end,
that's the most sustainable and manageable life for me. Perhaps because I'm
totally blind from birth, I take extra pleasure in gastronomy. Therefore, given
the choice between crappy-tasting healthy food and slightly unhealthier but
better tasting options, you can guess which ones I'll choose. All thaht said,
there's nothing crappy-tasting about peach pie made with an almond crust,
Splenda, perhaps some tapioca starch, fructose or coconut oil in the mix. But
when you restrict many people's carbs, they get very uncreative with
substitutes, which makes it frustrating to eat with them.
