Anti-Health

I read an article today that was promoting a new anti-oxidant juice. It's supposed to help detoxify your body etc etc. It asked a number of questions about how healthy you are and stuff, to try and gauge whether or not you should try said drink.

So, in the interests of not doing any work, I took the little survey to find out how I rate on the 'health scale'. The answer to my endeavours? "You answered (A) to every question: You are super human and probably don't really exist."

So - to start with this made me feel a little cheated. I DO exist. I even had a quick look around the office to make sure that I am, in fact, in existence, and that there are, in fact, living, breathing people around me. Then, I started to feel crap! I thought, ok, so I'm not supposed to be this healthy? I've spent the last 6 months trying to be mindful of everything that goes in to my body and for what? To be told that I'm too healthy to be ALIVE?

So what - I ask you - what exactly would you like me to do, 'Mindy', if that is your real name...? Should I be heading to my nearest McDonalds to purchase a McFatty burger? Or should I just skip the wastefulness of consuming food and get an IV of fat hooked up to my right arm?

Seriously - you spend your life trying to do what they tell you, then they throw it back in your face. Well SCREW THEM - I'm happy being healthy; I like going to the gym every day; I enjoy brown rice! I throw my health right back at you!! Take that MINDY. What kind of a fucking name is Mindy anyway... pah - the only thing she's got is a song by Homer J Simpson about a turkey. RUBBISH.
