People do the most horrible things to themselves, sometimes with the full knowledge of what a cigarette or a entire chocolate cake at 3am can do to their bodies. People just love to indulge themselves in unhealthy things. The reasoning behind all this almost defies the animal nature of survival--but we do bad things anyway! Here are three people with confessions of their own...
Mel Lombardo

Why do people do things they know are bad for them? I think people do it just for the thrill, it''s a fling you get into.
What healthy things could a person do instead? Exercise, eat healthier, and keep your mind clear.
Ever done something you knew was bad for you? I went to a friend''s place and had a beer.

Why do people do things that are unhealthy? Lack of self-esteem. Also, I think, rebellion.
Do you ever get wild and do something bad? Yeah, on a rare occasion. [sly smile]
What should people do, then? Follow their life passion.
Orion Quill
Mixologist, Pacific Grove
Why do people do unhealthy things? Because they can. What''s life without the simple pleasures?
What''s a healthy but wild thing people can do? How should I put this...umm, how many calories do you burn having sex?
Would you trade that cigarette for a bread stick? Sure, but only if I had a whole pack of cigarettes.
