Well, if someone I cared about was in the habit of not wearing
seatbelts, I don't know if I'd try to make them feel guilty but
I'd sure try to convince them to change. Likewise for someone
who I thought was getting really out of shape. Of course, I would
only do this with someone I was pretty close to. And this has
absolutely nothing to do with diets, which I think without exception
are a crock of s**t.
