Those who are uneducated about diets will always pick chocolate over salad.

It's not about you doing better things, it's them not knowing what matters and why it matters.

Oh also, if the company says "we will do it quick and dirty" all you can do is ask for covering the therapy costs. Seriously. You are one to N.

Just enjoy your chocolate while it's still not molten.

If you remove everything between the first and last lines, the causality becomes obvious.
