Eating fast food is okay now and then... then you get into poor people who can't afford much for eating. Or students who have little money and have to practically live on fast food, which basically are conveniences in our world today. Hmmm... I think everyone could leave this discussion confidence that we should care for ourselves and tend to our health with diligence.

I agree with you, smoking is entirely intentional, and has no nutritional value, whatsoever.
And, I'm not one of those people who consider every overweight person lost, or a hypocrite, lol.
And, I also realize that in America, it's extremely difficult to maintain a balanced and nutritious diet - it's disheartening sometimes to try to shop for healthy things in the local supermarket, even the so called healthy products contain massive amounts of sugar, sodium, artificial preservatives, etc.
Couple that with the largely sedentary lifestyle of most Americans, and it's rare to find people that are perfectly healthy.
But, I do think that maybe we've done folks a small disservice by not stressing the importance of physical health in the grand scheme of "living life, and that more abundantly".
