Hear hear.

I started cooking more at home.  Less eating out.  More wheat bread.  More
carrots.  Less beef, more chicken.  Less chicken, more greenery.  When I
have beef, eat with broccoli and more of it than the beef.  More
water.  Fewer Cokes.

I'm firmly in the
"everything-can-kill-you-anyways-so-just-do-what-you-can-and-don't-stress-over-it"
camp.
