I don't have a problem with that, but

This is about how to enjoy life, I am all for it:


[...I] know what I like and I’m going to keep enjoying them until the grim reaper shows up. Because it’s the sensual pleasures, like food and drink and sex, that make life worth living.

Maybe we could all live 20 years longer if we obsessed over carbohydrates, hung out in oxygen bars and exercised to the point of exhaustion. The question then is, with life reduced to such a repetitive, crushing bore, why would you want to stick around another two decades anyway? To do what? Eat more
sprouts?

Give me 70 years full of good food, good drink and good friends. You go to the gym; I’ll go to the steakhouse with that little redhead in accounting who likes her good times.

You’ll live longer, but I’ll have more fun. And isn’t that what life is about? Having a good time while you’re here?

But also I am a staunch preacher and practitioner of EF(Evolutionary Fitness): I pay a lot attention to what I put into my mouth, and I work out regularly. It's not that I don't know how to enjoy ice cream or cheesecake now, I do: I am just making a conscious decision to trade part of my present pleasure for my future joy -- that I will still be able to drive a red Ferrari when I am 90 years old, with my grandchild by my side.

More importantly you don't have to be an unhappy dieter or a gym rat to be healthy. There are plenty of tasty and healthy foods out there, and EF does not demand a lot workout time. Knowledge is the key: eat smart and exercises smart, and live your life to the fullest extent.
