Health police Q&A

Dear Mr. Deemer: I regularly read your blog and enjoy it. However, I am concerned about how often you praise scrapple and how much of it you seem to eat. Do you know how bad scrapple is for you? etc etc etc.

Dear Blog Reader: I suspect that I know considerably more about scrapple than you do. After all, I make it myself.  You say it is bad for me but this is true only from a certain perspective. It is not bad for my mind, my attitude and my sense of well being. With regard to my body, which is what you refer to (I assume), by any rational consideration of my relationship to my body, I should have been dead 15 years ago. So I don't consider myself living on borrowed time but on bonus time. The gods, for reasons quite their own, have been very kind to me. If I die in ten minutes, I have been blessed with far more time than I expected or deserve. Thus I enjoy each day of my bonus time as much as I can, and on many mornings this enjoyment includes scrapple for breakfast. Obviously the gods understand even if you don't.

Now let me ask you a question. Do you know how bad it is for your mental health to butt into other people's business?  Sincerely, Charles

Oh now, Charles, I think you should partake of my new attitude in my video today which is titled, "The Horrible Attitudes of the Obese Like Me." In my blog. I understand your attitude perfectly as it matches my horrible ones.
