What's the point of obsessing over cholesterol or bike helmets or even cigarettes when the biggest threats to our children are being released back into society every day?

About This Quote

There are many people who still smoke and drink alcohol, but the question is why? The reason is that they enjoy doing it and because they can. They think it's okay because there are no real consequences. Nowadays, we have all kinds of material goods to buy and we feel the need to do so.

These things we take for granted today were once in short supply and had to be protected by law-makers.
